Dedicated Product Category Experts that Drive Cost Savings

In 1970, the American futurist Alvin Toffler coined the word ‘overchoice.’ Essentially, it refers to the inability to make a decision when faced with too many choices. It’s hardly an uncommon experience, but it can be overwhelming. With an enormous range of quality safety and industrial products, Heatleys’ knows how important it is to help ensure you don’t experience ‘overchoice.’ That’s why we have dedicated product and solution experts that can help streamline your purchasing processes.

We partner with our customers to really understand their projects and operations. The better informed we are about your objectives, the more targeted we can be with our suggestions and recommendations. At the end of the day, our product and solution experts have the same goal as you – to improve productivity on your projects and reduce consumable wastage.

When you have a range as large as Heatleys’ you don’t have to settle for a solution that simply works – you can have the perfect solution. Take, as a case in point, a product like safety glasses. Heatleys’ has dozens of options for you to choose from. Our product experts know the range inside out, so they might begin by asking about the length of the project, whether the glasses will be assigned to individual workers or whether they’ll be communal. They might want to know whether they have to be worn at all times on site or only when completing specific tasks. Based on your requirements, they can recommend the ideal product.

If, say, it’s a short project where the glasses will be communal and only used when completing a small number of tasks, then an entry level product may suffice. On the other hand, if it’s a long term project and workers are to be assigned a pair of safety glasses to wear at all times while on site, then a premium product might be required, ones with anti-fog coating and adjustable side arms for enhanced comfort and fit. 

Customised access solutions

Heatleys’ product and solutions experts can also help you unlock value in ways you may not have considered. For instance, if your procurement department is struggling to manage high volume ordering, it might be more cost-effective to set up an on-site inventory store stocked with all the safety and industrial consumables you require. 

Alternatively, Heatleys’ offers vending solutions so you can store and issue safety, PPE and industrial products on-site, ensuring goods are always in close proximity to where you need them. Vending machines provide a controlled process for issuing products, making inventory management easier, enhancing visibility of consumable usage and waste and, ultimately, improving your bottom line.

A Heatleys inventory solutions specialist can partner with you to provide a tailored solution based on your specific requirements. They can assist in determining which solution is most appropriate for your site and needs. We can also staff the store and provide a number of other on-site services, like conducting regular cycle counting or providing scanning and automated technological solutions.
