Tech that’s worth the investment

Looking to simplify day-to-day operations running a metal business? Look no further – Central Link is the platform to have! 

In a conversation with Megan Ellsworth during an episode of the MetalCast podcast, Zach Coats and Delton Rhodes from Central States Manufacturing discussed the power of Central Link – the brand’s digital quoting platform. With Central Link, users are able to access a wealth of helpful tools designed to elevate the quoting process.  

For many industry professionals, finding the time to prepare quotes with accuracy and precision can be a hassle. This platform takes the weight from contractors’ shoulders and allows users to put that time and energy elsewhere, thanks to Central Link’s intuitive design and functionality. Zach shared, “We offer users the ability to self-service in Central Link. They can actually quote, design and get a price output for both pre-engineered and self-storage buildings. That way they can manage their business and price appropriately to their customer type that they're in contact with.” 

From offering PEMB and the brand’s very own 3D Building Designer visualizer, to a wide variety of other useful functions, Central Link is the perfect tool for any metal professional to add to their arsenal of productivity tools. Central Link allows users to simplify their daily workflows, taking a long and tiring day full of operational tasks to a more mindful and productive routine elsewhere.  

As Central States continues to refine and hone the platform’s functions with new updates and versions, as they’re now on version three, Central Link will only become easier to navigate, customize and integrate. Delton shared, “What's nice about our new system is the flexibility. Depending on what you like to do, maybe you have your own quote in order entry, if our system is already designed to connect with yours, it’s easy to bolt on since it's already designed that way. Or if it's not, because the system is so flexible, we can make it work that way. It's something we can continue to improve, evolve and like I said, fit the customer's needs depending on what they do.”
