Greenwoods has continued to invest heavily in e-procurement. Although many businesses are investing in e-commerce, Greenwoods feels there is a distinct lack of sites with comparable functionality and the same degree of focus on the telecoms industry. Greenwoods has been supplying the telecoms industry for over a decade and has built up a vast amount of knowledge in the products required by operators and OEMs. This is being transferred to the e-catalogue, where it can be viewed by a global audience 24/7.

Product content on the e-catalogue has continued to expand since the initial launch. The product range now covers: Active & Test Equipment, Cabinets & Accessories, Cable, Connectors, Consumables, Patchcords & Assemblies, Steelwork, Tooling, Trunking & Conduit and Workwear & Protective Equipment. Industry knowledge when adding product content ensures the site consists of all the product families and products essential to an engineer’s daily job and makes finding products straight forward. The recent introduction of ‘Tooling’, includes a vast range of Hand and Power tools that are required for the most common repairs and installation.

“Customers are key to the success of Greenwoods’ e-catalogue, we will continue to listen to their requests for specific products and develop functionality around making the procurement process easier,” commented Steve Foster, marketing manager at Greenwoods and responsible for the e-commerce initiative. “The number of enquiries from customers across the world has been overwhelming since the site was launched. With a stronger international presence and a focus on customer retention we are continually looking for innovative ways to improve the customer experience of using our site. This year, Greenwoods will continue to develop e-commerce functionality to ensure the procurement process is continually made easier for our strategic customers throughout the UK.”
