Pune: Metalogic PMS is going to organize the event on Steel Service Centre, Retailing & Distribution on 20th December 2022, Tuesday at Hotel Tip Top International, Pune. This is the first time that an event has been organized on the topic ‘Steel Service Centre, Retailing & Distribution’ in the country where more than 300 industry specialists including Steel manufacturers, Retailers, Distributors, and end users are participating and is supported by the Ministry of Steel.
The primary role of a steel service centre is to deliver customized steel to steel users as and when required. In India, the steel service centre acts as an intermediate between steel producers and the end-user, who provide inventory management, and certain special applications for steel finishing and distribution services. The concept makes it a vital link in the steel supply chain. In India, there are about 1000 service centres, but a few have advanced technologies for various processing applications. Currently, in India state-of-the-art steel service centres are maintained by only captive steel producers who are operating these centres under the JVs with international arms. The steel service centres provide various processing facilities with all kinds of steel to serve the customers with desired shapes and volumes. The conference focuses on the current status of steel service centres and their future prospects, the importance and need for digitization.
Metals have been one of the core drivers of industrialisation. Among metals, steel has historically held a dominant position. In a typical scenario, a steel manufacturer produces steel in bulk and then it sells off to the customer. As a raw material and intermediate product, the production and consumption of steel are widely regarded as indicators of economic progress. The present situation calls for a quick decision that would boost steel retailers and producers from pressure and stimulate demand. The visibility of sales and inventory data of last-mile steel distribution networks makes the services to the retail market cost and service inefficient. Focus on the adoption of relevant information technologies with appropriate linkages to physical distribution chains to service the complex market dynamics can yield significant business returns for steel players.
