Why have we moved to web based pricing and away from physical price books?
We are empowering everyone with the benefits of us manufacturing in Australia by putting the tools to meet specific customer requirements into everyone's hands.
These tools are now available 24/7 and are designed to work on desktop, tablet and mobile. They can be frequently updated and not locked into a price book print cycle.
From a distributor's point of sale perspective we recommend having a tablet or computer to work with the end customer.
For customers and designers this means more information is easily available from the start of an enquiry, and can be accessed while onsite via mobile devices.
The top menus, along with instant search and detailed filters have provided a significant improvement in the time it takes users to find the information they are looking for when compared to our previous website.
Quick Delivery Times
We can supply standard and customised items with fast delivery times and quality because we fiercely manufacture locally and continuously invest in local jobs and machinery.
We understand the details
We pour molten metal from brass ingot, we forge brass, we machine it, we polish it... and crucially we know what goes into our products.
When you work with us we have an understanding of what it takes to make a product from scratch.
