Update Product Costs Tool

The Problem: In a Market This Volatile, Static Pricing is a Liability

If you’re running a metals business right now, you already know the drill. Prices from the mills can change overnight and sometimes, even midday.

You get a new pricing sheet in the morning. By afternoon, your catalog is out of date. Again.

That means quoting risks your margins. Order accuracy takes a hit. And customers? They get confused or frustrated when prices don’t match.

Even worse, if updating your prices means submitting a spreadsheet to someone else, to then get it into your ERP or online store, you’re already behind.

You need control. Right now.

The Solution: Update Costs in Seconds, Inside Stella

That’s why we built the new Update Costs tool inside your Stella Source Supplier Hub.

With it, your admins can search, filter, and edit single or multiple product costs at one, time instantly, right inside the platform. No uploads. No bottlenecks. No waiting.

Whether you’re updating based on new mill sheets, inventory fluctuations, or supplier shifts, you can do it all on your schedule. Right when you need to.

What It Looks Like

Inside the Product List Management module, here’s what you can do:

• Download your full product catalog and costs for easy and fast reviews
• Search and filter by grade, thickness, width, length, and more
• Update individual or multiple product costs at the same time
• Update costs by supplier location, material type, or product shape
• See the last updated date for every product
• Apply changes instantly, no waiting for syncs or approvals
• Admin-only access keeps control tight and secure

One note: This tool is built for editing existing product data. If you want to add new variants, you’ll still go through our team.

Why It Matters

Your pricing isn't just numbers on a page, it’s your margin, your reputation, and your competitive edge.

In a pricing environment where change is constant and uncertainty is the norm, being able to act immediately gives you more than just efficiency. It gives you peace of mind.

With the Update Costs feature, you can:

• Respond to market changes faster than ever
• Avoid quoting errors and pricing disputes
• Preserve margin and customer trust
• Make real-time cost updates easy, finally!

Most importantly, it gives your team confidence to price and sell in a market where hesitation can cost you.
