Become the Go-To Distributor in Your Area
When your competition can't answer the phone, fabricators will come to you for quick, easy pricing.
How it works
A simple ordering path customers can understand
Keep the important parts obvious: find materials, confirm prices, request quotes, and place orders – all on your own website.
Buyers view your inventory
They see your products, your pricing, and a clear path to order.
They place an order
Request custom quotes or place repeat orders without waiting on the phone.
Your team stays focused
Reduce back-and-forth and spend more time closing larger opportunities.
Built for how service centers actually sell metal
Steel isn’t generic ecommerce. Prices move, orders get complicated, and many customers still need a salesperson involved. SteelVend is built around that reality.
Feels familiar. Works fast.
Customers don’t need training. They go to your website, log in, see their pricing, and place orders the same way every time.
Your Product. Your Website.
This isn't another OnlineMetals platform. You're not shipping screws to homeowners across the country. SteelVend lets you sell your product from your website under your brand.
WHY SELL ONLINE?
A Game Changer for the Steel Service Industry
Fabricators are hustling harder than ever, and every phone call and email slows them down. Become their best friend and they'll start shoveling money into your hands.
People Google First, Call Second
If your website only gives buyers a form to fill out, you're still making them wait. Let them actually buy from you.
Your Customers Also Buy Elsewhere
Make it easier for existing customers to spend more with you instead of sending the next order somewhere else.
Unleash the Power of Your Sales Team
Let your website handle routine orders so your reps can focus on relationships, complex requests, and bigger opportunities.
THE BUSINESS CASE
It Pays for Itself – Immediately
Moving over even a fraction of your current customer base brings huge savings – more orders per customer, less time spent per sale.
