Measuring performance in steel raw material procurement has become increasingly complex. Volatile prices, global supply chains, stricter compliance requirements, and growing sustainability expectations place new demands on procurement teams. Despite this, performance is still often assessed using limited metrics that fail to capture negotiation quality, market competitiveness, and governance.

In this MetalshubTalks webinar, we examine how procurement performance is measured today in the steel industry and where the gaps remain.

The session explores:

• Why traditional indicators such as headline savings or budget variance are no longer sufficient on their own
• How a more comprehensive, data-driven approach enables procurement teams to demonstrate value
• The role of digital procurement platforms in capturing structured data across sourcing events, supplier interactions, and contract execution.

Drawing on Metalshub’s experience working with steel producers and industrial buyers, the discussion highlights practical performance metrics, including offer ratios, price variance against benchmarks, negotiation dynamics, approval compliance, and execution efficiency.

The webinar also shows how these insights can be aggregated into transparent dashboards that support continuous improvement and strategic decision-making.

MetalshubTalks host, Samir Jaber, Content Marketing Manager at Metalshub, is joined by Dr Sebastian Kreft, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Metalshub. Together, they discuss how procurement performance in the steel industry can be measured more effectively, combining market insight with practical examples from digital procurement workflows used by steel producers today.

Join the conversation.

This session is designed for procurement leaders, buyers, and analysts in the steel industry who want to move from reactive reporting to systematic performance management.
