 Product Standardization Information

If you feel that you are overwhelmed with requests for a huge variety of office products you are not alone. One of the biggest expenses in our industry is the time it takes a customer to select the products they need and create an order. If you create an order try timing yourself to see how long it takes to go through the catalogs, write down all the stock numbers, make sure you understand the unit of measure and then place the order. With some companies if you do not have the exact number you don't get the product.

Our solution is to create "easy" or "quick" order forms for our customers. These forms are a one part, customized form with our client's, name, account number, and other helpful fields as required. The forms also list the most commonly used items by that customer so they don't have to look up numbers and units every time they need basic, everyday office supplies. There is usually a section at the bottom to add items not listed in the main body of the form.

These forms can quickly and easily be filled out by end users and faxed to us, or you can leave it on a network server, let users fill out a copy on their screen, and then e-mail it to us. This saves our customers $TIME$. These forms also help direct end users to the items that are priced lowest to the company, reduce returns and the associated cost of the paperwork involved, saving even more money.
