ATAS Distribution vs. Self-Service Online Ordering
ATAS International manufactures metal roofing panels, wall systems, and trim products sold through an authorized dealer and distributor network. Like most architectural metal manufacturers, custom trim profiles are quoted through a rep — which means calling, providing specs, photographing a sketch, and waiting for a response before you know whether the trim fits your budget.
Trimgy is built for a different use case: you need a custom brake-formed trim profile, you need to know the full landed cost today, and you want to place the order without a phone call. It's a drawing and ordering tool — you define the profile on a 1/4-inch precision grid and pricing updates in real time. Add your delivery zip code and the LTL freight quote appears immediately.
Common reasons contractors search for an ATAS International alternative:
- The required profile isn't in the ATAS catalog and needs to be custom-fabricated
- Pricing needs to be in the bid before the rep responds
- Freight cost is unknown until after delivery, creating bid risk
- Weekend and after-hours takeoffs can't wait until Monday for pricing

From Takeoff to Order in One Session
Open Trimgy, draw the cross-section of your trim profile on the precision grid — each segment snapping to 1/4-inch increments. Select material and gauge. Enter linear footage and your delivery zip code. The complete landed cost — material plus LTL freight — appears on screen. Check out with Stripe and your fabrication drawing goes directly to production.
There's no rep to reach, no sketch to photograph, no quote to wait for. The profile is defined by coordinates, not by handwriting on paper — so what you draw is exactly what gets fabricated. If you adjust a segment, the price updates immediately. The whole process for a new profile takes 8–12 minutes.
Note: Trimgy is a drawing and ordering platform — not an ATAS International dealer or authorized distributor. If your specification names ATAS products by brand, verify whether a custom brake-formed alternative satisfies the requirement before ordering.
