We have special guest speakers for our first meeting of the year!
We will have members of The American Institute of Steel Construction explaining their new development of an open source, comprehensive procurement system called steelXML in conjunction with steel mills, warehouses and steel industry specific software developers. It is simply a better way to buy steel!
More than 90% of structural steel in the US is purchased via fax or email requiring large amounts of manual re-entry of line items. steelXML enables direct and automated communication between the buyers and sellers of structural steel across the entire procurement process.
- Electronic Request for Quote, Purchase Orders, Bills of Lading, Advanced Shipping Notices, Mill Test Reports, LEED Information
- Reduced errors across multiple functional areas (less redundant manual input=less chance for human error)
- Increased productivity & quality control
- Major Industry Support at ALL Levels of the Supply Chain
- Faster Turnaround on Pricing
