How
will ebiz CHEM help my existing customer relationships? |
 |
On ebiz CHEM, many companies will choose to trade with familiar
commercial partners, or exclusively with a single trusted manufacturer,
trader or consumer. We support this choice by letting buyers and
sellers maintain complete control over their product information
and pricing at all times. At no time is information visible to parties
who are not authorized to see it. Thus, members have the ability
to service existing commercial relationships via ebiz CHEM, leveraging
the efficiencies enabled through the system to provide faster, higher-quality
customer service. |

Does

 |
Since ebiz CHEM is not an auction site, your pricing information
remains private. ebiz CHEM preserves your current way of doing business
since online negotiations and transactions between you and your
trading partners are kept private and secure. However, if you choose,
you can post public prices on the ebiz CHEM for all members to view.

How
is ebiz CHEM different from other steel sites on the Internet? |
 |
ebiz CHEM is neutral because no industry player has a majority ownership.
This ensures that ebiz CHEM is not owned by or aligned with anyone
who has a vested interest in any given transaction. This has strategic
and practical value for the entire steel industry. It ensures that
all participants are treated equally, impartially, and fairly while
all information is always kept in the strictest confidence. Neutrality
also ensures the largest possible community of buyers and sellers,
increasing the exchange's value to participants. ebiz CHEM is open
to all qualified buyers and sellers. Any approved seller can easily
list material or browse through inquiries from buyers. Any approved
buyer can solicit offers for specific requirements or browse the
ebiz CHEM database of seller product. Only ebiz CHEM gives users
the power to reflect existing commercial relationships on the web
by letting them choose their commercial partners. Many users like
to recruit their entire customer base on-line. |

How
can ebiz CHEM benefit manufacturers, traders and consumers who have
already deployed electronic commerce applications? |
 |
A large number of seller-owned web sites make Internet business
less attractive to buyers because the buyers must spend time investigating
many sites. ebiz CHEM encourages steel companies to build upon their
existing IT systems. Companies can leverage their IT investments
by migrating key segments of their transactional needs to e-S ebiz
CHEM, and thereby reach a broader audience through the Internet.
In addition, ebiz CHEM has invested significant resources in creating
the world's most advanced chemical trading system. Advanced, secure
e-commerce requires significant attention, expertise, and manpower
to maintain. ebiz CHEM members are given freedom from making these
costly investments and can simply leverage ebiz CHEM's state of
the art technology. |

ebiz CHEM does not change the claims process; claims continue to
be handled between companies. However, all trades are fully documented
on the ebiz CHEM system, facilitating discovery in the case of conflict.
ebiz CHEM strictly monitors compliance with exchange rules, and
in the case of misuse penalizes offending members. This ensures
that ebiz CHEM remains a venue for quality industry participants.
Sales contracts between the two parties continue to regulate the
actual transaction. |
