VECTOR
Intelligence
Our Philosophy
At its core, Vector Intelligence is driven by a simple idea:
​
Bid More. Win More.
​
By removing bottlenecks in the estimating process and empowering teams with better data and visualization tools, Vector helps businesses focus less on manual work and more on winning projects and driving growth.
About Vector Intelligence
Vector Intelligence began in 2023 as an independent software company with a singular mission: to modernize and accelerate the structural steel estimating process. Built by experts in both software development and steel construction, Vector was designed to eliminate the inefficiencies of manual takeoffs by replacing time-intensive workflows with intelligent automation.
​
Today, Vector Intelligence has evolved.
​
Following its acquisition by the Reliance Carbon Structural Group (CS Group) in March of 2026, Vector is no longer a standalone software provider. Instead, it has become a fully integrated, proprietary technology solution that is purpose-built to support and enhance the capabilities of Reliance’s network of structural steel companies and their partners.
From Software Company to Strategic Advantage
What started as a powerful digital tool is now a core component of a larger, end-to-end solution. By bringing Vector in-house, Reliance CS Group has transformed it into more than just software. It’s now a competitive advantage embedded directly into the steel supply and fabrication ecosystem.
Vector Intelligence enables partners within the Reliance network to:
-
Automate material takeoffs directly from PDF drawings
-
Reduce estimating time by up to 80%
-
Generate detailed outputs, including annotated drawings, data files, and 3D models
-
Improve bid accuracy and win more projects
This integration allows customers to move faster, make smarter decisions, and scale their operations, while seamlessly connecting estimating with material supply.
