The problem with North American Steel was that they lacked a comprehensive website for customers to browse through. Visitors were usually lost, not knowing what parts they needed, where to go to order these parts, and how to use the parts they ordered. There was no online order system, no quotation requests, and no way to understand how products worked together.

Development and implementation of these online ordering systems leads to seamless end-to-end order placement that significantly improves the ease of the process. Additionally, the elimination of human involvement in the ordering process reduces staffing costs, eradicates the risk of human errors, and makes the ordering systems available 24/7. Special calculator integration also drastically boosts the speed with which large, complex orders are placed and processed. The automation of this system helps reduce supply chain complexity while allowing multi-stage customizations with ease.
