I have strong relations
with my existing customers. How will SteelRX help me in
this?
|
|
|
On SteelRX, many companies will choose
to trade with existing commercial partners or some other
set of preferred buyers or sellers. Our “Preferred Partners”
feature supports this choice by letting buyers and sellers
“talk” only to parties they define. This information is
not visible to parties who are not authorized to see it.
SteelRX can thus be used by members to leverage on the efficiencies
enabled through the hub.

|
|
I am submitting price
/ demand information. How does SteelRX handle this information?
|
|
|
SteelRX is not directly involved in any
of the trading modules, this is between buyers and sellers
only. Hence your pricing information remains private. SteelRX
treats all data as strictly confidential. In accordance
with SteelRX's privacy policy, SteelRX will never disclose
any member or transaction-specific data. This data may be
used by SteelRX for publishing qualitative reports later.

|
|
|
How is SteelRX different
from the other sites – International and Indian?
|
|
|
SteelRX offers four
key elements on the same site – Content, Commerce, Community
and eServices. For example news, data, information and analyses
are an integral part of the site and have not been added
as an after thought.
SteelRX is neutral
and has no industry player with a majority ownership. This
ensures that SteelRX is not controlled by anyone who may
have a vested interest in the transactions at the site.
It ensures that all participants are treated equally and
all information is kept in the strictest confidence. Neutrality
also ensures more interest and increases the hub’s value
to all buyers and sellers who may be wary of going to a
company-controlled hub.
SteelRX has been customized
to suit the requirements of the steel industry in the region.
The features have been developed based on an industry wide
study done by IMRB - India’s leading MR agency. Thus what
you will see and use is a hub that will fit your requirements
rather than compromising with whatever may be available
on sites which suit the needs of their specific markets.
Steel RX is open only to qualified STEEL
buyers and sellers and does not target membership numbers
– rather it targets membership quality.

How does SteelRX fit
into my e-commerce plans?
|
|
|
A large number of
seller-owned web sites make Internet business less attractive
to buyers because the buyers must spend time investigating
many sites. Because of the rich mix of commerce, content
and collaboration, SteelRX can attract far more buyers to
its site than any single company. This is because SteelRX
makes it easy for the buyers to do their job by having all
of the key industry players and information at one easily
accessible site.
It is a world of core competencies. While
large corporates can always create their own e-commerce
websites, we submit that companies can economize their IT
investments by migrating some parts of their transactional
processes to SteelRX. This way they can focus on their core-competencies
of making and selling or buying steel. Also advanced, secure
e-commerce requires significant attention, expertise, and
manpower to maintain. SteelRX members are freed from making
these costly investments and can simply leverage SteelRX's
core competence in steel based e-commerce.

What are the security
features at SteelRX for its commercial transactions?
|
|
|
SteelRX recognizes that electronic commerce
will only flourish in an environment where sensitive information
transmitted electronically is protected. SteelRX safeguards
the confidentiality of your information through firewalls,
authentication procedures and transmission security. By
incorporating transmission using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology from Verisign, SteelRX maintains an environment
where privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed. Getting
a security audit firm in place.

|
|
How does SteelRX
ensure compliance of the transaction concluded?
|
|
|
Steel RX does not change the offline
process of settling claims; claims continue to be handled
between companies. However, all trades are fully documented
on the SteelRX system, facilitating discovery in the case
of a conflict. SteelRX strictly monitors compliance with
rules as given in the Terms of Use, and in the case of misuse
penalizes offending members. This ensures that SteelRX remains
a venue for quality industry participants.
