Multiple suppliers use Steel Spider to advertise their prime, excess prime, and
secondary steel that is in stock and available for sale. Steel Spider makes buying
and selling steel more efficient by making it easier for buyers to quickly find
the suppliers who have the steel they need. Steel Spider helps steel suppliers promote
their company, generate sales leads, and increase sales..
Offerings - Multi-Supplier Steel Inventory
Steel Spider aggregates the excess and secondary inventory of multiple steel suppliers
into a searchable database, making it easy for buyers to find the steel they need.
Buyers can receive email alerts when specific types of steel are added. Each supplier's
contact information is included with his steel
Offering. A buyer can contact and negotiate with the supplier directly.
Steel Spider offers two options for suppliers to add their steel offerings to the
searchable inventory: manual form submission and automatic data entry.
Automatic Data Entry
The automatic data entry process allows suppliers to easily upload an Excel file,
which will be
automatically parsed and added to the multi-supplier inventory, replacing their
previous offerings. This makes it easy for suppliers to keep their offerings in
the inventory up
to date.
Manual Data Entry
Manual Data Entry uses a form on the site to manually enter the information describing
each offering and adding it to the searchable inventory The form requests information
about each steel item such as type, weight, dimensions, location (City, State) and
description.
Offerings – by Email
Suppliers can present their Offering to buyers through email by using a form that
outlines the details of the Offering. The email is only sent to buyers who have
expressed interest in the specific type of steel included in the Offering. The form
also includes the supplier's contact information, allowing buyers to easily reach
out to the supplier for more information or to make a purchase.
Inquiries – by Email
Buyers can send an Inquiry to suppliers through email using a form that provides
details about their Inquiry. This form is sent to those suppliers who have expressed
interest in the type of steel mentioned in the Inquiry. The Inquiry includes the
buyer's contact information, allowing the supplier to directly respond to the buyer.
Company Directory
Our Company Directory allows buyers and suppliers to provide a description of their
company at no cost.
Border Ad
Our Border Ad feature allows suppliers to display their company logo randomly on
the borders of every page on our website. The logo can be in the form of a website
logo or a 135px by 135px jpeg or gif file. When clicked, the Border Ad will either
redirect to the supplier's company website or to their company information in our
directory.
Pricing
We generate revenue advertising fees. We do not charge commissions on sales or engage
in buying, selling, trading, or brokering steel. Instead, we offer a platform for
buyers to connect with suppliers and make purchases directly. To use our site, buyers
do not need to pay any fees or incur any setup costs. However, we do charge suppliers
a fixed monthly fee, which is outlined in our
Pricing Policy. As part of our service,
we also offer a free trial period for suppliers to evaluate the features on our
site before deciding whether to continue using it.

of steel. To achieve this, we provide the necessary contact information for both
parties on our platform. We respect the confidentiality of buyer-supplier relationships
and do not participate in any negotiations or transactions that may occur between
