Core segments and market trends
Half of Germany's steel requirement, which corresponds to 20 million tons per year, is delivered by steel wholesalers. As a result, steel dealers play an important role as intermediaries between steel producers and processors of steel products.
Our industry solutions, specifically for modern steel trading & bending companies, combine efficiency and growth.
Structural change in the steel industry
Competitive pressure in the steel trade sector is high. Changing demand cycles and strongly fluctuating producer prices pose additional challenges for retailers. Growth to achieve economies of scale, a concentration on processing and services, or even increasing the efficiency of warehouses and logistics are possible ways to counteract this.
Differentiate yourself from competition through processing services
Processing for customers is particularly popular: The processing and finishing of steel products, such as sawing, sandblasting and priming long products as well as cutting flat products according to specific customer requirements, offer the opportunity to distinguish yourself as a customer's partner through expertise and services and to differentiate yourself from the competition.
Perfect calculation and delivery of construction projects
The business of iron benders is characterized by construction projects. The central recording of bending plans and the documentation of partial deliveries is therefore important. The central storage of prices speeds up the preparation of offers for the customer on the basis of the bending plans. Controlling machines based on barcodes generated in industry software speeds up processes and reduces error rates. Route planning supports the correct loading of vehicles and rapid delivery to the construction site.
