Our award-winning ToolShop offers intuitive operation, state-of-the-art search functions and complete transparency about product information, pricing, delivery times and availability.
Decision drivers when selecting suppliers: Online tracking and sales portal access are key.
It's easy to generate shopping lists or conveniently purchase products through your cost centre structure. But that's not all! Comprehensive tools are available to you right up to the point where the system connects directly to your ERP system. This reduces the amount of time purchasing processes take out of your day and allows you to focus on your tasks.
