Otis for steel and metal stockholders
Otis helps steel and metal stockholders handle enquiries for sections, sizes and grades, checking availability and account pricing and capturing orders at any hour.
Built for steel and metal stockholders
Stockholding trade means fielding enquiries for specific sections, sizes, grades and lengths, often with cutting requirements. Otis reads the enquiry, resolves the right product, checks live availability and account pricing and captures the order with the detail your team needs, so demand is caught even when the office is closed.

What steel buyers actually ask
Steel and metal enquiries turn on section, grade and processing. A customer wants beams, box, angle, flat or plate in a specific grade, often cut to length or processed, and they need the weight, the price and the turnaround for site. They may also need mill certificates for the job. Every one of those details has to be right before an order is placed.
Otis reads your live stock list, grades and processing options and answers those questions instantly, so a fabricator working late gets the section and the lead time confirmed rather than leaving a message and waiting.
