SteelCompare

Compare steel framing prices

Upload your purchase order plus one or more vendor quotes. PDFs are processed temporarily and are not stored.

Mode?Same vendor: 1 quote + PO(s), compare line by line. Best price: many quotes + PO(s), flag PO lines that could have been cheaper. Cross-vendor: many quotes, no PO — rank vendors by SKU. Margin: a Sell (distributor) quote + a Cost (manufacturer) quote, see markup/margin per steel line.

Drop PDFs here?Drop one or more PDFs. SteelCompare auto-detects the vendor (Telling, Super Stud, Clark, etc.) — you don't need to label them.
