Pricing & margins
Your price lists, customer-specific rates and negotiated terms reveal how you compete.
Its place in your storefrontPresent the right buying information to your customers.
Your business.
Kept private.
Your brand. Your customers. Your data. SteelVend does not share your commercial data. Selling online should strengthen your business—not expose what makes it competitive.
An online sales channel.
Not a data sales channel.
SteelVend earns revenue from your subscription and transaction fees. Your commercial information is not something to sell to competitors or turn into a shared market-intelligence feed.
No sale. No shared commercial insights. That includes aggregated or anonymized information derived from your pricing, inventory and orders.
What “your data” means.
It is more than a customer list. It is the everyday information that shows how your business works.
Inventory & availability
What you stock, what is available and what customers want belong to your operation.
Its place in your storefrontHelp buyers find material through your branded storefront.
Customers & orders
Customer relationships, purchasing patterns and order histories are commercial information—not a market research feed.
Its place in your storefrontSupport orders that your team processes and fulfills.
Removing your name doesn’t make it ours.
Your prices, stock levels and buying patterns have value—even without your company name attached. SteelVend does not sell or externally share commercial insights derived from that information.
You pay us to help you sell metal. Not to make your business someone else’s market intelligence.
Connected to your systems.
Accountable to your business.
Your ERP remains the source for inventory and pricing. Customers buy from your business, on your website. Your team sells the material, handles processing and fulfills the order.
Privacy is not the same as “no data processing.”
An ecommerce service needs to process information to work. The integration scope, authorized access and any service providers should be clear before you connect—not buried behind a broad promise.
