Why SLOI AI
Built for serious
steel buyers.
Everything your procurement team needs to source MENA and Ukraine steel and metals — faster, cheaper, and more compliant than going through traders.
🏭
Mill-direct, no trader markup
SLOI AI connects you directly to Ezz Steel, Emirates Steel, EGA, and Hadeed — not to middlemen who add $30–80/MT to the price. Our trader network are mill agents and offtake holders, not spot traders. You pay the mill price, not the market.
📋
Mill test certificates standard
Every steel shipment comes with a complete Mill Test Certificate (MTC) — heat number, chemical composition, mechanical properties (yield, tensile, elongation). Third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek arranged on request. No document surprises at destination port.
🛡️
OFAC & sanctions built in
Every mill and every counterparty is screened against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists before LOI issuance. No Russian-origin steel. Ukraine shipments get enhanced KYC. Steel trade faces growing compliance scrutiny — we handle it before the deal starts.
📄
Signed offtake LOI in 72 hours
Steel sourcing typically involves weeks of back-and-forth mill enquiries, quote comparison, and negotiation. SLOI AI runs up to 7 automated negotiation rounds, checks compliance, and generates an ICC-standard signed LOI — ready for your finance desk, bank, or project owner.
🚢
Incoterm flexibility — FOB to DDP
We arrange FOB, CFR, CIF, or DAP to any major port — Rotterdam, Houston, Mombasa, Karachi. MENA to Mediterranean is 5–8 days transit. MENA to US East Coast is 18–22 days. Full freight, insurance, and customs documentation package included on CIF deals.
💰

A 500 MT rebar order or a 50,000 MT billet contract — same flat LOI fee. No success fee on deal value, no monthly retainer. Your procurement savings stay yours. Predictable cost your project budget can absorb without rounding errors.
