Digital, fast, error-free – this is the new way orders can be made by using the K2 Base planning tool. A new K2+ feature has made it possible. Thanks to this innovative interface, PV professionals can directly add their desired items to the shopping cart of leading European PV and electrical wholesalers after completing the design of the mounting system. The ordering process is thus significantly simplified – without error-prone manual transfer work and without additional intermediate steps in email programs.
Thanks to this digital connection with renowned wholesalers, a total of 23 European webshops will be linked initially, with more wholesalers joining in the following months.
Willem Haag, Co-CEO of K2 Systems, is delighted:
“True to our motto ‘Connecting Strength’, with this new interface, we are connecting even more closely with our long-standing distribution partners to speed up the planning and ordering process. This creates a more comfortable data transfer that reduces unnecessary transfer errors and improves collaboration.”
The advantages of the new K2+ interface at a glance:
- A faster, easier, and less error-prone ordering process
- No more manual handling by the planner (for example, by needing to send the list of items via email to the respective wholesaler)
- Elimination of possible errors associated with manual transmission
- Quick selection of preferred wholesalers (in MyK2)
- Transparent data transmission, as K2 Base indicates whether all items could be successfully added to the distributor’s shopping cart
- Continuous additions of wholesaler webshops
To set up the interface with preferred webshops, the administrator of the company account can select favorites from the list all available wholesalers in MyK2. After planning a PV project in K2 Base, the employee receives a summary with a list of all required products for the project-specific substructure. Then by clicking on the button ”K2+ Wholesalers Webshop” he will be able to see the preferred webshops. He can then select the appropriate webshop and the automatic transmission starts.
