Individual Plate Offerings

The form is used to provide details about your Plate 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 Plate offering. The Price is in US dollars per piece, unless otherwise specified. Any additional information about the Plate can be included in the Description field. Please make sure to accurately fill out all required fields in order to effectively advertise your Plate.

Multiple Plate Offerings - Automatic Data Entry

As a Plate supplier, you have the option to add, edit, and remove your Plate offerings by uploading an Excel spreadsheet with descriptions of your Plates. The spreadsheet should have one row for each Plate 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 Plate 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 Plate inventory file to info@steelspider.com. Before you can use the Excel spreadsheet method to add, edit, or remove your Plate 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 Plate 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 Plate 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 Plates. You can keep the codes in your file and don't need to "clean up" the data. Using this method of providing your Plate offerings also allows us to customize how they appear on the site and provide more information, such as links to pictures of the Plates on your website. If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please don't hesitate to ask.
