Sell to the trade after you close
Builders plan the next day in the evening, and a lot of buying happens after your counter shuts. Otis answers those out of hours enquiries, prices the job and takes the order, so you wake up to sales instead of missed calls.
The trade does not stop at five
A groundworker finishing on site at six, a builder pricing a job on Sunday evening, a landlord sorting materials before an early start. This is real buying intent, and most of it lands when your counter is dark and your phone is on voicemail. By the morning the moment has passed and the order has gone elsewhere.
Otis keeps selling while you are closed. It answers the enquiry straight away, checks live stock and account pricing, produces a quote and captures the order into your system. Your team arrives to confirmed orders and warm quotes, not a list of people to chase.
What Otis does out of hours
Evenings and weekends
Enquiries at any hour get an instant, accurate answer, not a voicemail.
Real pricing
Otis prices from live stock and account terms, so the quote is one you can stand behind.
Orders ready by morning
Confirmed orders land in your ERP overnight, ready to pick and deliver.
Web, WhatsApp and text
The trade reaches you on the channels they already use in the evening.
Take offs any time
A photo of a list or a sketch becomes a priced quote, even at night.
No extra staff
You cover the out of hours window without paying for a night shift.
Common questions
How much trade really happens after hours?
More than most merchants expect. Much of the next day is planned in the evening, and that intent is easy to lose. Otis captures it.
Does it take a real order or just a message?
A real order. Otis prices from live data and posts confirmed orders into your system, ready for the morning.
Do we stay in control?
Yes. You set what Otis can quote and sell, and your team confirms and fulfils as normal.
Which systems does it work with?
Otis sits on top of your existing ERP, reading live stock and pricing and writing orders back.
