Online ordering for hire companies
Your a site foreman places the order at 9pm on a phone instead of ringing at 8am, sees their own prices, and reorders from history. The order lands in your system, not in someone's inbox to be retyped.
What is included
- Trade accounts with per-customer pricing and minimums
- Catalogue and live stock from your back-office system
- Reorder from history, saved lists, delivery or collection
- Integration to your accounts package
In practice, for hire companies
For hire companies ordering is booking: dates, depot, delivery or collection, and payment or account. For dealers it is parts and consumables. Either way the flow is the same: what, when, where, pay or charge to account, confirmation by email and text.
Why hire companies in particular
- Customers ring to ask whether you have something, because the site does not say.
- Rates are in a spreadsheet the office guards and the site quotes nothing.
- Repeat customers still book by phone at 7am because there is no other way.
Typical ticket in your trade: €200 to €5,000 a hire. One enquiry that comes to you instead of to the hire directories covers a lot of website.
Questions hire companies ask about this
- Account customers must not have to pay by card.
- They charge to account after login; the public pays by card.
- Hire needs a start and end date.
- Dates, duration breaks and off-hire online, with the rate applied automatically.
