The internet…you know it’s a great resource for product information, technical drawings, industry news – all the data you need. But have you ever thought about how you could take advantage of the web to automate your internal procurement process or share materials lists with your co-workers? ... We have. I’m Debbie, a web manager at Swagelok, and I’d like to talk to you about the “Forward Cart” functionality on Swagelok.com.
Today, many companies are using procurement processes where engineers or other specifiers are responsible for selecting products, while a second group is responsible for the procurement of those items. The challenge is to relay the details of those orders between the two teams.
One of the features of Swagelok.com, called “forward cart”, enables users, purchasing from their local sales and service center, to specify product online, then, without re-keying, forward those items to the person responsible for completing the purchase process. Let me show you how it works…
First, talk to your local sales & service representative.
They will set up your Swagelok.com account with the “forward cart” functionality. The next time you log in, the “forward cart” button will appear.
Then, use the resources, tools, and configurators on the site to add items to your cart. When you’re done, click the forward cart button. (point)
This will generate an email to your purchasing agent. Just enter their email address, and your shipping address.
They will instantly receive an email with a link to automatically add the items from your cart to their cart. They can select whether to append those items to an existing cart or start a new cart. Then, they just checkout. That’s Forward Cart.
It is one of many features available to you for the easy selection and procurement of Swagelok products. So, no matter what your purchasing system or process, Swagelok can help. Talk to your local sales and service representative today.
