How Do You Currently Order?

Take a second to think about your business and how you currently order your products. Do you place your orders in-store or send an email through? How many hours does it take you? How do you pick up your orders? How many times a day do you have to go back to the store to get more products? How long do you or your team spend waiting for your orders to be packed and ready to go?

‍

Chances are that you’re spending unnecessary extra time and resources throughout the ordering process that are cutting into your business’ profit margin. Luckily for you, ordering online with Trak could be the game-changer your business needs.

‍

Reactive vs. Proactive Ordering

Consider this: You arrive at the job site and realise you still need to order your products for the job so you spend the next 30 minutes writing out a list of supplies needed and send two employees down to the local supplier’s store. They order at the counter and wait for half an hour before they get the order, then head back to the site.

‍

During this time, you’ve lost 30 minutes of your day and between the travel and wait time for the two employees, you’ve lost 2 hours of billable time for them. With the average cost of an employee with expenses being around $75 an hour and the margin you’d normally add for their billable rate, you’ve just lost around $200. And that’s provided this only happens once throughout the day!

‍

However, if you had placed an order online from your phone the night before and saved just 2 hours a day by removing potentially multiple trips to the store and wait times as the order is ready to go, you’re saving that $200 per day. Multiply that by a standard work year (approximately 260 days), and you're looking at an incredible $52,000 in annual savings.

‍

Beyond cost savings, the time freed up allows you and your team to focus on completing more jobs. Faster project completion leads to increased customer satisfaction, giving you a competitive edge in the market.
