Add/Edit Your Coil Offerings

Individual Coil Offerings

The form is used to provide details about your Coil Offering. The following fields are required to be filled out: Type, Dimensions (in inches, which can be entered as a decimal or fraction), Weight, and Location (city and state/province abbreviation, separated by a comma). The Dimensions, Weight, Pieces, Description, Price, Tag No, and Location fields are used to describe your Coil offering. The Price is in US dollars per piece, unless otherwise specified. Any additional information about the Coil can be included in the Description field. Please make sure to accurately fill out all required fields in order to effectively advertise your Coil.

Multiple Coil Offerings - Automatic Data Entry

As a Coil supplier, you have the option to add, edit, and remove your Coil offerings by uploading an Excel spreadsheet with descriptions of your Coils. The spreadsheet should have one row for each Coil offering, with the data for each offering in its own columns. Steel Spider will read the file row by row and automatically add the offerings to the Inventory. The layout of the file, including the order and location of the columns, is determined by the supplier. This layout file is usually an Excel spreadsheet that you are already using or that can be easily exported from your inventory database. In some cases, a text file may also be accepted. By using this method, you can easily and efficiently update your Coil offerings on the Steel Spider platform.

If you are considering using this Automatic Data Entry Process you need to Register first and then attach your Coil inventory file to info@steelspider.com. Before you can use the Excel spreadsheet method to add, edit, or remove your Coil offerings, we need to set up the site to recognize the layout and other information about your file. There is no cost to set this up, and we offer a free trial period so that you can try out this method and see if it is a useful tool for managing your Coil Offerings on the Steel Spider platform. This trial period allows you to evaluate whether using this method is a good fit for your business without incurring any charges.

The file format for your Coil offerings can be either Excel or Text, depending on what you use internally. Simply send us the file that you currently use, and we will set up the processing of the file on the site and guide you through the process. If your company uses codes or abbreviations, such as for location or grades, let us know what these codes represent, and we can configure the site to recognize and replace them with more descriptive terms for your Coils. You can keep the codes in your file and don't need to "clean up" the data. Using this method of providing your Coil offerings also allows us to customize how they appear on the site and provide more information, such as links to pictures of the Coils on your website. If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please don't hesitate to ask.

Scroll to the bottom of this page for Automatic Data Entry.

On this page you can add your Coil offerings to the searchable Inventory. You can also change or remove your Offerings in the Inventory here. We have provided two methods for adding your Coil Offerings to the searchable Inventory. The first is to add each Coil Offering separately. The second (Automatic Data Entry), near the bottom of this page, involves uploading an Excel file to add multiple Coil Offerings automatically. These methods are briefly described below and described in more detail in the Show Help for this Page link above.

Buyers will receive an email notification of any new Coil offerings added to the Inventory if they have signed up to Receive Coil Offerings for Coil. In Receive Coil Offerings a buyer can specify which Coil Offerings he wants to be notified about by email.

You have no Coil in the Inventory. To add Coil click on "+ Add Your Coil to the Multi-Supplier Coil Inventory"

It is important to regularly review and update your Coil offerings to ensure that the Coils you are advertising are still available for purchase. If it has been 30 days since you last visited the page to check on your Coils, you will receive a reminder email asking you to confirm their availability or update their listing. If no confirmation is received, the Coils will be removed from the page.

Add/Change/Remove Multiple Coil Offerings - Automatic Data Entry

For some suppliers, it is more efficient to automate the process of providing your Coil offerings on the Steel Spider platform. To do this, you can upload an Excel file with information about each Coil on a separate row. The uploaded file will be automatically processed and added to the Inventory. In order to correctly interpret the data in the file, the layout of the file needs to be known, so the site knows where to find the relevant information. Generally the automation process can handle the layout that is most convenient for you to use. To add, edit, or remove your Coil Offerings using this method, you can simply upload a new file that includes any updates or changes. The previous file will be replaced with the current file, which will remove any Coils that are no longer being offered and add any new Coils that have been included.

Below is a listing of the files that have been setup for you to use with the Automatic Data Entry process.

When you upload your coil here, only the coil from your file will be displayed in the grid above so you can edit or delete individual items. A button will appear at the top right of the grid that will let you view and edit all your coil on the site if other methods were used to add Coil to the Inventory. Your file can contain both Coil and Sheet however only individual Coils can be edited above. Individual Sheet can be edited on Add Sheet.

Select the Description of the File that you will be providing.
