How electrical trade buyers order
An electrician or contractor is buying against a job: specific ratings, specific standards, specific quantities, often the same list repeatedly. They need trade pricing, live stock at the branch they are driving past, and certificates for the installations they must certify. A retail-style catalogue that hides prices behind a login and stock behind a phone call loses them to whichever supplier let them check from the van.
What we build for a distributor
First, search and filtering by rating, standard and specification, which is the working vocabulary of this trade. Second, trade accounts with contract pricing and reorder from history, since repeat lists are most of the revenue. Third, live stock per branch with collection reservation, because the decision is often made in transit. Fourth, certificates and conformity documents per item, which contractors need for handover paperwork.
