QUICKSTOCK, QUICKSCAN, QUICKORDER, website, phone, email….what’s with all the different ways to order consumables at Euromarc?

 

Simply put – there’s different strokes for different folks. Keep reading to find out which method would be best for you!

SOME BACKGROUND

Like most suppliers, Euromarc started off with customers ordering the usual ways of phone, email and online. But we could see that these methods simply weren’t good enough.

 

Common issues with old school ordering:

 

  • Time consuming process
  • Mistakes happen (miscommunications)
  • Difficult to track

 

Keeping in mind customers want ordering to be FAST and EASY, and they want the correct items to arrive on time…we started developing our QUICK solutions to consumable ordering and inventory management…

QUICKORDER™

QUICKORDER was our first ordering solution for really speeding up online ordering of your regular products. It’s basically a favourites list allowing customers to find all their regularly ordered products on one page rather than searching and finding each product and adding to cart.

 

A further update has also allowed for filtering of the list to make products in large lists easier to locate.

WHO IS QUICKORDER FOR?

ANYONE! Most Euromarc customers find QUICKORDER useful in some form. Here’s a few examples:

 

  • Regular purchase orders – a bit of an obvious one, but customers who place weekly or monthly orders enjoy the convenience of having all their products available in one place.
  • Price checking – some customers like having a favourites list to quickly scan through and compare pricing.
  • Inventory management – it can also be useful to use the list on your phone or print it out to take to the storeroom and check what consumables you need.
  • QUICKSTOCK™ – even our QUICKSTOCK customers use it for quickly ordering items not stored in their cabinets!

QUICKSTOCK™

QUICKSTOCK is more than just an ordering solution – in fact to some extent it eliminates a lot of the need to place orders all together!

 

QUICKSTOCK is a vendor managed inventory solution where Euromarc stock is held on site, we manage the regular stocking and tidying of the cabinets, and you only pay for what is used. It’s like having consignment stock, but everything is managed and monitored to ensure you always have stock on hand to keep production moving.

WHO IS QUICKSTOCK FOR?

Engineering companies who consistently churn through consumables and would like to spend less time organising consumable purchase orders, and more time on production.

 

QUICKSTOCK doesn’t have to change the way you operate - it just takes a load off your shoulders in having all your regularly used consumables available on site, greatly reducing the amount of inventory management and purchase orders that need to be made and followed up on.

QUICKSCAN™

QUICKSCAN is Euromarc’s most recent development. It’s a customer managed inventory solution utilising mobile technology and our website. Customers can simply scan the product barcode, enter the desired quantity, rinse, and repeat to fill up your order. The idea is to be able to combine the stock management and purchase tasks together, but also make it easy for anyone to place an order and not worry about whether they are ordering the right product.

WHO IS QUICKSCAN FOR?

Anyone can use QUICKSCAN. It’s free to set up – get in touch and we can organise barcode labels. It is especially good for:

 

  • Easily ordering stock right from the storeroom
  • Making sure you’re ordering the right product – just scan the barcode
  • Keeping up with Kanban or min/max lean ordering practices
