Your supplier quote to a benchmark comparison in three steps.
Drop in a supplier quote as a PDF, or paste the line items as text. Multi-line quotes are read in one pass; a single item can be entered by hand.
The material, alloy, shape, size, quantity, and price are pulled out for you to review and correct before anything is compared.
Your $/lb is placed against the negotiated market range for the same spec, so you can see whether you sit within it, below it, or above.
The benchmark is Ryerson's best published volume-tier price with a typical relationship discount applied, on a Los Angeles basis — the same market range shown on our price pages. It reflects negotiated pricing at volume, so smaller or one-off orders usually run higher; treat the gap as how far you sit above the volume floor. How the benchmark works
