Multi-Item Auction Automatic Data Entry is a process where we automatically setup your multi-item Auction. You make a file containing descriptions of your steel available to Steel Spider by uploading the file on this page. While there is no limit to the number of steel items that are described in the file, more than 100 tend to be a challenge for buyers to handle. 

This Automatic Data Entry process needs to be set up before you can use it. Register and send a sample file to info@steelspider.com attached to an email so we can discuss how you want it setup. We charge a monthly fee to use this Automatic Data Entry process.

We do not specify a particular layout for the file and instead tailor the Automatic Data Entry process to the layout selected by the supplier. Since each steel company uses data formats and descriptions specifically tailored to their own needs, our Automatic Data Entry process lets steel companies provide their data without data format conversion. Our Automatic Data Entry process transforms your data and automatically adds your information to your Multi-Item Auction.

If you are using multiple files for different types of auctions or formats, select the file that you are uploading. To upload the file, click on the Browse button. This will open a window listing files on your computer. Select the file to be uploaded and press the Open button. The filename will appear in the text box. Press Upload the file and the file will be sent immediately to Steel Spider.

Depending on the size of the file, it may take a minute or so for the file to be sent and processed. As soon as the file has been received it will be read and our Automatic Data Entry process will translate the data and map it into the Steel Spider Multi-Item Auction. When the file is uploaded, the steel in our Multi-Item Auction from a previous upload of the file is deleted and replaced with the information in the uploaded file.

The Delete column on the left allows you to delete items individually. Check the items to be deleted and click the Delete Checked Items button. There is also a button that allows you to delete all items.

Your file can also be provided by attaching the file to an email to info@steelspider.com. Files sent by email are processed the same day.

Press Delete to remove the items contained in the file.
