About SteelVend

Independent software for independent steel businesses.

SteelVend is building a customer portal for steel service centers that want to sell online through their own website. Your metal, your commercial relationships, and your brand remain at the center of the experience.

What we’re building around

A customer portal that respects how you do business.

Steel sales involve material, processing, delivery, and established commercial terms. Those requirements belong in the online buying experience.

Your own sales channel.

Bring your catalog, quoting, and ordering to your website. Give buyers a convenient way to buy from you without turning the relationship over to a marketplace.

An independent software partner.

SteelVend is independently owned and self funded, with no metals-distribution parent or financial ties to competing service centers.

A practical business case.

The goal is more profit than your service center could otherwise earn: more profitable business, a stronger processing mix, and better use of sales capacity.

Talk with the people building it

    Bring the catalog, pricing, processing, delivery, and order-entry requirements that make your business distinctive. Useful software starts with understanding those details.

  • Review the fit in a walkthrough.

    Explore the planned customer experience and subscriptions. Discuss the features and integration requirements you need before choosing a rollout.
