Panelform EasyOrder select an easier working life

Panelform has led the way in supplying style, colour, manufacturing, and service innovations, becoming part of thousands of New Zealand’s most beautiful homes for nearly 30 years.

The door, panel, and component company’s CEO Greg Allison says they continue to strive to provide their clients with quantifiable advantages. “Our goal is to add profitability and success to every business we work with. We want to give them greater output, without them having to invest in manufacturing.” Reducing their stress is also a focus, which has resulted in the latest of the company’s advances – the new Panelform EasyOrder, a personalised online system.

Online ordering has been popular since Panelform began the option in 2014. “95% of our customers now choose to order that way. It saves them time, streamlines their businesses, and eliminates any human inputting error.”

But, he says, Panelform always wants to do better.

The new system puts Durostyle, Prestyle, Touchtex, ZeroLine, StyleLite, and Sleekform products, colours, dimensions, and detailed specifications at the users’ fingertips.

When investing time and effort into EasyOrder, Panelform especially considered the needs of busy small to medium businesses.

“We wanted to make it simple.”

Panelform EasyOrder is also optimised so it can be used on tablets, meaning quotes can be provided instantly on the job as soon as measuring up is complete.

The ordering system, which has its own unique URL (panelformeasyorder.co.nz) is feature-rich and flexible.

Among the features that will stand out for users is the ability to change the colour on entire quotes at a single touch. “One of the most frequent questions we get is when our customers’ clients have a change of heart about colour on a project. This option saves them having to go back and individually change items.” Customers can also save as many quotes as they like and open, update, and submit them when needed. “They can take a quote they have done previously and copy and tweak it.”

Quotes and orders can also be printed.

The level of detail and precision available, particularly on the Durostyle product, makes ordering seamless with the ability to specify details including door handing, hinge dimensioning and rail positioning. In the popular Durostyle and Prestyle ranges, the system also allows for choosing individual edge profiles, to deliver a distinctive look.

Fail-safe features provide prompts and ensure that all orders are compatible with product specifications available.

The new platform is also fully integrated with Panelform’s production system which means orders are processed efficiently and can be tracked by the customer who also receives email updates as the order progresses through production. Greg says the benefits which this provides to Panelform’s workflows also translate into benefits for clients and additional certainty of delivery.

Preferred delivery dates can be entered at the time of ordering and feedback is provided, ensuring projects can be managed and completed on time and on budget. (Orders over $1,000 are freight free.)

Although the intuitive site is designed to minimise user queries, there’s also a live chat and some very handy “how to” videos which guide users through the different steps of the quoting and ordering process.
