Find a Cerakote-certified applicator using Cerakote's official locator, and separately evaluate powder-coating/finishing job-shop management software (e.g., Steelhead Technologies) for a finishing shop's own operations.

Steps

1. Use Cerakote's official applicator finder (cerakote.com/find-applicator) to search by city or zip — this is a real, currently live public directory distinguishing "Factory Trained and Certified" from "Elite Certified" applicators.
2. Don't trust third-party "near me" listicles for certification status — cross-check any applicator against the official cerakote.com directory before relying on their certified status in a customer-facing claim.
3. If you're the finishing shop (powder coating, anodizing, galvanizing, etc.) evaluating job-shop management software, review Steelhead Technologies (gosteelhead.com) — it markets an ERP/MES purpose-built for metal-finishing job shops (quoting, work orders, recipes, part tracking, invoicing) with fast implementation claims.
4. Confirm no public developer API documentation for Steelhead Technologies was found as of mid-2026 — treat any ERP/data-integration need (e.g., pulling job data into a separate BI tool) as a question for their sales/support team, not a self-serve API.
5. Keep the Cerakote applicator directory and Steelhead's shop-management software as two separate evaluations — one verifies a partner's certification to customers, the other is internal operations tooling; they don't interoperate.
