Company History
With over 50 years of experience, Gerdau Metaldom is a leader in the manufacturing and distribution of steel products in the Dominican Republic.
Due to the scarcity of information, commercial credit decisions could take up to 25 days. Additionally, the company used separate platforms to access national and international data, facing a lack of customer support that complicated the process

Pain Point
With a process split across two platforms, commercial credit information used to take up to 25 days to obtain. Gerdau also faced a shortage of local public information and general information about international companies.
To obtain a report from abroad, with two local companies, it used to take us up to twenty, twenty-five days to provide them with a number, in addition to the cost of the process. A single inquiry costs almost ten percent of what I pay in a year with you.
