The B2B platform allows buyers and sellers from across the supply chain use AI technology to connect, collaborate and do business.
Buyers of raw material or semi-finished metal are invited to connect with their suppliers, issue RFQ’s, compare deals and coordinate under one platform. This saves buyers time compared to existing methods, such as emails, spreadsheets, PDFs and calls. The platform is designed to require no integrations with back-end systems and take less than five minutes to get started.
“The B2B Platform provides the industry with marketplace tools without adding commission costs or transaction fees to orders,” says Akbar Khowaja, general manager of U.S. Sales. “It’s a very cost-effective platform because you don’t get penalized for closing deals. We provide the technology while buyers stay in control of the process.”
Industrial metal buyers such as machine shops, fabricators, traders, brokers and independent contractors can use the platform with the hope of making their jobs easier.
“We are a technology company, so we are passionate about providing buyers with simple, easy tools that reduce administration,” says Khowaja. “It’s the perfect roadmap for embracing new technology while preserving traditional ways of doing business.”
