Stella Source is one of North America's largest steel fabrication providers, processing thousands of custom quotes monthly. With limited data infrastructure, disconnected systems, and manual estimation processes, profits suffered while competitors gained ground.

Data trapped everywhere

Quote calculations locked in spreadsheets. Pricing formulas in emails. Material costs in disconnected systems.

Margins under pressure

No visibility into cost breakdowns. Inconsistent markup strategies. Competitors winning on speed.

Systems that can’t change

Core fabrication software embedded in operations. No budget for rip-and-replace approach.

Stella Source’s quoting process was slow, manual, and spread across multiple systems. Sales reps had to hunt for pricing, inventory, and customer history, making it difficult to respond quickly to opportunities. Operational data lived in silos, meaning leaders lacked a single source of truth for performance or customer behavior.

The Stella Data Platform quickly became the go-to tool for fabrication teams, cutting quote times, boosting accuracy, and driving profitability. With rapid adoption and strong feedback, it's now central to Stella's fabrication workflow.
