Top 3 Reasons to use e-PRO
1. Real-Time Information

System is available 24/7 for use
-
See your preferred price on items rather than having to call for pricing or
seeing standard catalog price
-
Know instantly if an item is in stock or not
-
Offers more products and information than can be found in our print catalogs
2. Simplified Operation
-
Offers one-stop shopping

If you logout with an open shopping cart it will still be there when you log
back in until you either finish it or you delete it.
3. Approval Routing
-
Users can be setup to submit orders for approval only, with no limits or with
dollar limits by order, day, week or month.
-
Requisitioners can create a shopping cart and submit it to purchasing
electronically for approval.

Buyers can simply review requests submitted to them rather than reenter them
into a fax form or have to phone the order in.

Security
The issue of security is addressed in a number of different ways to ensure that
only you have access to your account information. We require users register
with us and be given a unique user ID and password, the site is encrypted using
SSL Internet technology, plus we use management of rights and permissions to
restrict access to certain screens based on the agreed parameters.
Support
You can access support for the site by email or by phone. Emails should be
directed to Support and
will be answered within 2 business hours of when they are submitted. For phone
support using the e-PRO website please contact your assigned account rep first.
They will work with you to solve any issue you might have. However, if they
cannot solve the issue to your satisfaction, they will escalate your call to
one of our system administrators who will personally work with you to resolve
it.
