Complementing sales instincts with real-time AI insights

At ArcelorMittal, one of Brazil’s largest steel companies, client relationships were strong, but salespeople often relied on intuition, handwritten notes, and incomplete information to make day-to-day decisions. Without a unified system, performance varied widely.

To address these challenges, ArcelorMittal partnered with McKinsey to redesign its sales model and build AMis, an AI-powered digital “sales companion” that put real-time pricing, inventory, and delivery information at representatives’ fingertips. The result was a new, data-enabled way of working that empowered teams to make faster, more consistent, and more profitable decisions without sacrificing the relationships at the heart of sales.
