What's the worst list a customer ever sent your counter?
@Tinyv73@FinalCutTile Six to ten jobs on the go is exactly when memory fails. A written list per job gives the supplier something to check the order against. Does he ever send one, or is it all phone calls?
The costly quoting mistake is not the slow quote. It is the wrong line nobody flagged. Section 7 is a fair test you can run in one afternoon with three of your own lists.
@ltgiv@ZacharySisson3 The pickup confirmation is the easy call for the counter. The harder one is the bot emailing a list: "half inch elbow" can match several lines in a supplier's catalogue. Does yours send part numbers or plain descriptions?
@PartsTownUK Having the hand tools on the counter next to the parts makes a lot of sense. Engineers on a commercial kitchen callout rarely have time for a second stop, so one counter visit that covers both is a real time saver.
@Graybar Earlier planning is the big one. We keep hearing that switchgear and transformer lead times are still being quoted in months, so getting the release in before the design is fully final seems to be the only way some jobs stay on programme.
@supplyht November price increases always catch out quotes that went out in October. Are many supply houses honouring the old pricing on open quotes, or putting a hard expiry date on them now?
@ConstructionEnq Merchants will feel this one quickly. When brick volumes drop, the yards usually get pushed on price for whatever orders are still moving, so it'll be interesting to see if list prices actually hold into spring.
@contractormag Worth adding a quick parts check to the triage step too. Half the delay on frozen pipe callouts is a second trip because the van didn't have the right couplings or push-fit fittings on board.
@contractormag Spot on. A lot of that evening admin is retyping the same info into three places. Crews we've seen get the most back just by agreeing one place where site notes, material requests and change orders live.
