Distributors and importers
Distributors & importers
For importers and wholesale distributors who need a catalogue they can hand to their own sales team. We publish 239 patterns across four product lines, with 886 size rows and the manufacturer's figures where they are printed. We can supply the pattern list, the size list and the same fields as a file, and we mark clearly which figures are not published.
Who this is for
- Regional tire importers building a range for resale
- Wholesalers who need a size list their own customers can search
- Distributors consolidating several suppliers into one catalogue
- Sales teams that have to answer size and load questions without calling the factory
What goes wrong, and where our part ends
-
Problem
Supplier catalogues arrive in different formats.
Impact
The sales team cannot search across them, and answers take longer than the customer waits.
What we do
We send the catalogue as data: one row per size, with the same field set for every pattern.
Limits
We can only normalise what the source catalogues print. A field the manufacturer leaves blank stays blank.
-
Problem
Pattern codes differ between suppliers for the same duty.
Impact
Two codes look like two products, and the range appears larger than it is.
What we do
We list patterns by product line and by the machine type each is catalogued for, so the duty is visible independently of the code.
Limits
We do not rename or renumber a manufacturer's pattern code.
-
Problem
Customer questions are about load and dimensions, not about price.
Impact
A quotation without the figures invites a second question.
What we do
We return the published figures per size together with the quotation.
Limits
Where the manufacturer does not print a figure, we mark it as not specified rather than estimate it.
-
Problem
The range is expanded before the gaps are known.
Impact
Duplicated and near-duplicate sizes accumulate.
What we do
We send the size list as it stands, so the gaps are visible before anything is added.
Limits
We do not claim the range covers every size in a category.
