Selling Tubes in a Digital B2B World: Insights from Pipex.ai

At Pipex.ai, we have transformed the process through which sellers in the tube industry can reach out to bulk buyers by providing them with an easy to use digital platform optimized specifically to cater to the buyers in the B2B Sales. Having sold tubes to the different industries of all grades, shapes, and sizes, it is my experience to see that there is an exponential increase in the demand of precision, reliability, and large-volume supply in the growing industries. 

The B2B tube market Present

Tubes applied in the commercial scale in the B2B segment include construction, automotive, oil and gas, power plants, heat exchangers, chemical processing, and other applications. Wide variety of applications implies that customers commonly require a versatile range of tube types: seamless tubes, welded tubes, round tubes, square tubes, and rectangular tubes, which are produced out of such materials as stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel or copper.

Not that a seller should solely provide the right inventory so as to make deals in the B2B market in the tube industry. It is about familiarizing ourselves with the technical needs of individual customers, having certifications on our products, and being able to deliver on the promises or even with a time constraint. That is what determines a good seller and a mediocre one.

What Buyers Trend: Accuracy, Price and Alliances

In the case of B2B, customers who buy B2B through a tube supplier do not just think about the product. They desire a relationship that is based on stability and confidence. We have seen some expectations of our buyers that are not negotiable over the years:

Bulk Availability: Be it commercial tower or provision of parts to a refinery, the client will require some coherent quantity. We have an advantage in cases where the buyers are interested in purchasing tubes in bulk because we have a ready stock of different sizes and grades.

On time Delivery: The industrial sector is driven by deadlines. Our logistics integration with Pipex.ai ensures that tracking of our inventory is real time and that dispatch dates and times are intelligently calculated, ensuring that getting our inventory late is the new normal.

Open Communication: It is a relief to have a dedicated person of contact who is familiar with the project schedule, documentation requirements and shipping preference. We make sure all B2B services get utmost clarity, speed, and a follow through.

What is more important is that we have opened to further international access to clients, as they can locate us by using such keywords as:

Tube manufacturer stainless steel

Body tubes that are of custom size

Digital visibility and performance-driven recommendations opportunities powered by AI have allowed our brand to take the next level on Pipex.ai thus enabling it to conduct long-term B2B relationships built around performance and reliability.

It is not about Sales but about Building Relationships.

Tubes selling is not a transactional job. With B2B, it is relationships! A good number of our repeat clients are project engineers, procurement heads or supply chain managers who like the fact that we do not only send products but we bring peace of mind. We have frequently intervened in last minute emergency stop states or provided unusual grades in limited time-slots, just because we have trained ourselves to protect the client relationship almost as we protect the order size.

Future of B2B sales is digital, responsive, and worldwide networked. Such platforms as Pipex.ai are not only contributing to quicker deals but are also making a seller like us (or sellers in general) smarter, efficient, and closer to what buyers really desire.

Being a seller with great interest in the tube market, I see it all in three points where a key to success is in understanding a buyer, abiding to obligatory changes into the digital world, and striving to provide unequals of consistency. This is what we are proud to do at Pipex.ai and we are only just beginning.
