Company Spotlight
Manuel Gonzalez, a seasoned welder, recognized the need for a robust welding umbrella while on the job. Frustrated by the offerings from existing brands, he decided to take matters into his own hands, leading to the creation of Pipeliners Cloud in 2019. Initially focusing on welding umbrellas suited for windy conditions, the company soon expanded its lineup to include welding caps and bespoke welding hoods, catering specifically to the needs of welders.

By 2023, Pipeliners Cloud had established itself as a brand built by welders, for welders, renowned for its durable products. The introduction of lightweight, customizable carbon fiber welding hoods further solidified its position as a preferred choice for welding professionals. However, the brand’s growth brought to light the necessity for a robust order tracking system.
Operational Hurdles
Pipeliners Cloud prides itself on its commitment to quality and timely delivery, encapsulated in their motto, “Small enough to listen, big enough to deliver.” Yet, the brand faced challenges with prolonged lead times and a lack of clear communication regarding order status, resulting in a surge of WISMO (Where Is My Order?) inquiries.
