Add/Edit Your Tube Offerings

Individual Tube Offerings

The form is used to provide details about your Tube Offering. The following fields are required to be filled out: Shape, Type of Steel, Dimensions (in inches, which can be entered as a decimal or fraction), Wall, Weight, and Location (city and state/province abbreviation, separated by a comma). The Price is in US dollars per piece, unless otherwise specified. Any additional information about the Tube can be included in the Description field.

Multiple Tube Offerings - Automatic Data Entry

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

On this page you can add your Tube 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 Tube Offerings to the searchable Inventory. The first is to add each Tube Offering separately. The second (Automatic Data Entry), near the bottom of this page, involves uploading an Excel file to add multiple Tube 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 Tube offerings added to the Inventory if they have signed up to Receive Tube Offerings for Tube. In Receive Tube Offerings a buyer can specify which Tube Offerings he wants to be notified about by email.

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

You need to periodically update your Tube offerings to ensure that your Tube being advertised is still available. If you haven't returned to this page to check on your tube for 30 days we will email you a reminder to update your tube or confirm your tube's continued availability. If no confirmation is received, we will remove your tube.

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

Some suppliers may find it easier and faster to automate the process of providing your Tube offerings. To add your Tube Offerings you upload an Excel file with information describing each Tube on a single row. The uploaded file is processed and automatically added to the Inventory. The Layout of the uploaded file needs to be defined so the site knows where the appropriate information can be found. Our goal if for you to provide a file with a layout that is easiest for you to prepare. We tailor the automation process to handle your layout. A walk-through describing the options for handling Multiple Tube Offerings is provided in Show Help for this Page above. To add, edit or remove your Tube Offerings when you upload subsequent files we remove the Tube from a previous file and replace it with the Tube in the current file.

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

When you upload your tube here, only the tube from your file will be displayed in the grid above so you can edit or delete individual items. Tube you add using the grid ("+ Add Your Tube to the Multi-Supplier Inventory") or with a file using the Steel Spider Specified Column Layout will not be displayed at this time. A button will appear at the top right of the grid that will let you view and edit all your tube on the site if other methods were used to add Tube to the Inventory.
