Leeco Steel, which claims to be the largest supplier of steel plate in North America, has launched a new ecommerce website, Leeco Pro.
Leeco Pro is available for current Leeco customers and allows users to browse and purchase 12 core grades of steel plate across 32 thicknesses and in pattern sizes. The platform will offer a variety of digital features as well, the company said.
“Leeco Pro was built with our customers’ unique buying needs in mind, and we expect this tool to streamline and improve the steel plate buying process,” said Owen Donaghey, digital commerce manager. “The features that Leeco Pro includes will also make it easier for customers to manage their plate orders, giving them 24/7 access to view inventory and their account.”
Leeco Pro features an order document center – which includes invoices, BOLs and MTRs for current and previous orders – saved quotes and the ability to mark frequently needed grades as “favorites.”
“Leeco Steel is always seeking new ways to innovate and improve the steel plate buying process for our customers,” said Denton Nordhues, president and CEO. “With the increase in digitization within the steel industry, developing Leeco Pro was a natural step forward for us. We look forward to seeing how this platform will benefit both our customers and our company.”
