Mill Steel Co., a distributor of flat-rolled carbon steel, has launched a mobile app to provide customers access to its complete line of prime, excess, and secondary painted and acrylic inventories. The app features real-time pricing for placing transactions. Customers can reorder their products, view order history, place an order for delivery or pickup, and bid on coils from Mill Steel’s excess and secondary inventories.
The app supports the growing demand for ecommerce and order tracking. It is currently available for IOS and will be released for Android soon. A free download is available on the Apple App Store.
“In an effort to maximize our service offerings to our construction customers, our goal was to develop an easy-to-use online app that would provide a full-service, 24-7 online marketplace. We are very excited to be a leader in our industry offering a complete set of mobile tools to the construction market,” said Pam Heglund, president of Mill Steel.
