Kloeckner Assistant is our newest digital tool that will help us improve our ability to service our customers in a more
efficient manner. KCi, our software development division in Berlin, has created a scalable way to extract pertinent data
from a PDF and put it into a format that can be sent to Steel II as a Digital Order. This functionality will save time on the

Greenville & Alpharetta so we have transitioned to on-boarding as many customers from other branches as we can that order via PDF
format with Part Numbers. Currently we have 60 active customers, 14 active branches, and 43 active inside sales reps using the tool.
I am proud to share that we started 2020 strong and Kloeckner Assistant brought in $6.7 Million dollars in digital revenue in January.
