The figure, based on orders for the first half of this year, also reveal that the majority of those placing orders online do so at the end of the working day or into the evening. Jody Vincent, National Sales Manager, Emplas said: “There is always still someone at the end of a phone line for anyone who wants to talk their order through before placement, or to place an order by phone but we have seen really phenomenal growth in online ordering in the past six months. “It delivers new flexibility outside of ‘normal’ office hours as customers can order 24/7, giving our customers time to focus on sales.” Emplas launched its online ordering system and Window Designer in 2013 and its new Door Designer earlier this year. Accessed via the manufacturer’s Online Portal, once set-up, installers simply have to log-on from any web enabled device, for example PC, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, to access a secure quoting and order processing system. This gives them instant access to an online ordering portal which allows them to input a specification, choose glass, hardware and furniture and then automatically applies their discounts, to provide an instant quote. Where an order is placed installers get an immediate Order Acknowledgement. It also gives installers ordering online full visibility of the product progress through the factory. This extends to Emplas’ own customer service team, who can access the same workflow tool to offer real time updates against customer deliveries regardless of whether they are ordering on or offline.
