How buying works today
The usual route to an order.
Buyers use specialist tool merchants, local counters, brand distributors and online trade catalogues. With large ranges and similar-looking items, orders are often placed by phone or in person to confirm the specification, and teams hold accounts with several suppliers.
Where it breaks down
What slows buyers down.
- 01Large ranges make the right item hard to find.
- 02Specifications are ambiguous between listings.
- 03Several supplier accounts cover the same products.
- 04Job-site replenishment is often urgent.
