The MTR Genius Creator
Creating new material test reports is a breeze with our MTR Genius Creator. Data Functions first created this innovative solution in 1985. It was the very first of its kind for the piping industry.
The MTR Genius Creator is a customizable software application. The user may set specific minimum and maximum values into the software. We include password protection into our software in order to add a layer of security. This will avoid accidental changes to settings.
After a team member enters the physical and chemical property data, the software will do the rest. It will automatically flag any values above or below these predefined values. These settings help your business ensure conformity in your material inventory or manufacturing process.

Data Functions was founded in 1985 to serve the Raw Material Management System needs of the piping industry.
Digital Imaging Software for Your Raw Material Business
Our MTR Genius Creator helps you create new material test reports. However, keeping a record of original MTRs and other documents is also crucial to your industry. Our MTR Genius Imaging software is your storage solution. This solution allows you to upload and save original MTRs and documents digitally.
We understand the importance of the storage and management of these documents. The MTR Genius Imaging application allows you to upload original vendor MTRs and other Quality Documents into your digital files.
Our software makes the storage and retrieval of any Quality Document a simple task. From MSDS Documents to Heat Treatment Reports, Drawings, or Inspection Reports, we have your digital storage and organization needs covered. All uploaded documents can be assigned up to 9 tags when stored. This makes for easy search and retrieval of requested or needed paperwork.
Web Storage of Your MTRs Made Easy
With the MTR Genius Web Interface, you can easily access your MTRs online. Just open a web browser, and you’ll be able to find any MTR uploaded into the MTR Genius Imaging System. You can host the images on your own local data server. Or, you may opt to use an outside web hosting company.
Your team members can access all MTRs in the system. Your customers can also access the MTRs they need online. However, customers are only able to see MTRs tagged specifically for them.
This software also comes with a convenient Cart Feature. For starters, this feature allows several MTRs to be viewed at once. The MTRs can then be downloaded or printed. In addition, you may also email them to your customers using the Adobe web plug-in.
MTR Storage and Data Management Solutions
You may or may not already have an ERP software package you use to run your business. Wouldn’t it be great if your ERP was able to retrieve an MTR stored as an image? How convenient would it be if you were able to create new MTRs using the chemical and physical data stored in your ERP software? How much time would you save on data entry and document creation?
Our MTR Genius ERP Interface provides your business with all of these capabilities. You can create new MTRs using data already in your system, saving you time and helping prevent errors in data entry.
Our Own ERP Genius Software

Serving the software needs of the pipe industry and related industries
At Data Functions, we understand what your business needs to thrive. We created the MTR Genius applications for raw material management system solutions.
However, we also offer our own ERP Genius Software for your other day-to-day business needs.
Besides creating MTRs, your business is also concerned with other duties. Like other businesses, you have purchase orders, inventory costs to calculate, and inventory tracking of materials and finished goods. Another concern is supply chain management along the production process. In addition, you may need to track inventory levels of finished products.
However, you don’t just need inventory management software, as your business is more than just goods inventory and stock levels of raw material.
You run an entire business that also handles accounts, pays its employees, gets quote requests, among other daily departmental duties. For this, you need strong Enterprise Resource Planning software. We have created the ERP Genius Software to be part of your raw material management system.
Our ERP software works alongside our MTR Genius Software solutions. This allows your employees in different departments the ability to retrieve or upload MTRs and other documents as needed. No more running to the warehouse to find an MTR for a customer. Any designated team member can have access to the necessary information and documents immediately.
A Complete Raw Material Business Solution
This software is a complete package of solutions for your business’ daily tasks. ERP Genius is a bundle of several modules created to help streamline tasks for your employees. Each module corresponds to a specific departmental task.
Modules in this software include Inventory, Purchase Orders, Order Entry, Quotes, and Request for Quotes (RFQ). Other modules included are Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash, and General Ledger. Finally, Document Imaging and our highly-useful Drawing Manager module are also included.
Our ERP modules fully integrate with our MTR Genius applications, allowing access to these documents to multiple departments. Data Functions looks forward to being your raw material management system solution.
