Checking suppliers stock on line

I already know that Arqadia provide the facility to place orders and check stock on line. Are there any other suppliers who also do this?

In future, I am interested in checking the availabilty of materials while the customer is still in the shop and giving a guaranteed collection date and if possible getting full payment (instead of just a deposit), with the order. This is a new approach for me, so I'm asking questions and looking for any tips.

Thanks in anticipation,
Mark

Mainline Mouldings do. Once you log in with a password you can see how many metres they have in stock of any moulding and if a particular moulding is out of stock then an expected delivery date for them to receive it is usually shown.

This may be shameless plugging or just interesting info ;-)

If any mouldings in your favourites section go 'low stock' or 'out of stock' you will receive an email notification and you will also be notified when it comes back into stock.

I can vouch for the Arqadia system, works very well- and if you order on-line carriage paid order is only £95.00.
I'm not a customer of Mainline but there system sounds very good as well - must be the way forward!
