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.

Re: Checking suppliers stock on line
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!
