How buying works today
The usual route to an order.
Engineers buy from plumbing and heating merchants, specialist distributors, local branches and manufacturer networks. Urgent jobs usually mean collecting from the nearest branch, and common parts are searched for again and again because each job site is different.
Where it breaks down
What slows buyers down.
- 01Matching parts to the installed model takes time.
- 02Stock is uncertain until a branch confirms it.
- 03Orders end up split across suppliers.
- 04Delivering to changing job sites is hard to arrange.
