Electrical wholesale supplier sees steady growth A NEW ECOMMERCE SITE HAS MADE ORDERING EASIER, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO OFFERS AND TECHNICAL DATA, ACROSS CORE DISTRIBUTION’S RANGE OF CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS…
O rdering cable management systems from Core Distribution has just got a whole lot easier thanks to the firm’s investment in a new ecommerce site. Already live in the Republic of Ireland, the new site will be operational in Northern Ireland in 2024, offering online ordering, offers and technical data across Core’s €2m of stock in its Dublin and Belfast warehouses.
The new site enhances features for Core’s electrical wholesale customers including quick, easy ordering, access to account history and product updates and offers such as buy-10, get-one-free, price break items and Coupon Code discounts. Non-account holders will be able to access product ranges, technical specifications and video demonstrations. For design and operation of its new
ecommerce site, Core Distribution partnered with Expertlogix and its Aphix software suite. Expertlogix has built e-commerce platforms for electrical distributors, manufacturers and wholesalers across the UK and Ireland. Two years in the making, the project required changes to Core’s enterprise resource planning system to accommodate the ecommerce platform across the group of companies. The new software then had to be up and running for six months before a soft launch of ecommerce operations back in July. Dan Fisher, Managing Director of Core Distribution, said, “We wanted to make sure that we didn’t have issues and problems that could cause delays for our customers, so we selected customers to promote it to in a phased basis. “This worked well, and we have seen steady growth since that date. Over the next two years, we aim to have the majority of our standard orders come through the site, with project pricing and larger bulk ordering still dealt with in the current manner.” About 70% of the range is currently on the system, with more products added daily.
“Over the next two years, we aim to have the majority of our standard orders come through the site.”
