Hyundai Steel has started the pilot operation of “HCORE STORE,” its new e-commerce platform, to further reinforce its steel product sales and secure digital sales channels.
HCORE STORE is a platform that allows manufacturers, distributors, and consumers to mutually benefit. It not only involves more than 50 partner distributors handling various products such as rebars, section steel, and steel pipes but also secures a nationwide sales network through more than 70 distribution centers throughout Korea.
The products involved include steel construction materials such as reinforcing bars, section steel, and steel pipes. During the pilot operation period, basic services such as product purchases and quotation requests will be available. The platform will collect user feedback during the pilot operation and supplement the necessary details. The store’s official opening is scheduled for July. After online sales take hold, there are plans to expand the product lineup to include items like plywood.
If stock is available, HCORE STORE’s “Buy Now” feature allows you to enter the quantity of the product you want to buy and matches the lowest price through product comparison. The platform also includes a “Find a Partner” function, which enables customers to make regular purchases from preferred suppliers or check for special deals. In addition, customers can request quotations for products that are out of stock at their preferred price and make a purchase through bidding using the “Request Quotation” function.
These features will enable customers to conveniently purchase H CORE products at reasonable prices online using their computers or smartphones. The platform is also expected to be beneficial to Hyundai Steel as well by securing new customers through online sales.
