From energy to materials, there have been significant price increases almost everywhere in recent months. But there are also plenty of ways to save money to stay profitable during these times, without raising your prices for the customers. How? We will let you know in our tips below!
1. Save time by ordering smartly online
Time is money, and we all have busy schedules. That is why we at ADI are constantly working to improve the website even further and make it more user-friendly. For example, you can use the favorites list, where you can put products that you need more often. In just a few clicks, you can find and order the right materials without having to search for a long time. Of course, it is also possible to quickly and easily convert quotations to orders or to reorder old orders.
2. Engage the ADI project team
The project team at ADI is trained to find the right solution for your customer's requirements. Let them know what requirements the system must meet, and they will find the right products. In doing so, the team looks at what is minimally needed, what alternatives there are and which systems you can combine to get the most economical out of it. In addition, ADI can stock materials for you as soon as you confirm the order. This way we can give you a price guarantee if the prices of certain parts increase after the project has started. This way you can also guarantee a fixed price for your customer. Our project team will be happy to advise you.
3. Make use of pre-configuration
Another way to save time and money is the ADI pre-configuration service. In doing so, we not only supply the products, but also ensure that everything is fully configured. Everything will then arrive at the right location at the right time, so you don't need interim storage. And of course we also label all products for you, and bundle the right parts together. For example, do you need 100 cameras for a construction project? Then we ensure that they are packed per floor so that they can be installed quickly and easily. Thanks to the pre-configuration, they are immediately ready for use.
4. Catch extra discount with bulk orders
Do you need large quantities of one product? Or are you working on a large project and would you like to order all materials through one distributor? Then it may be possible to receive an extra discount and save money that way. Of course, the ADI team will be happy to help you find out the possibilities and possible price advantages. Please contact your account manager for this.
5. Group your orders to save shipping costs
Did you know that you can easily save shipping costs at ADI? For example, we can ensure that several orders are delivered at once. You can request this through your account manager. This way you can continue to enter several small orders per week, without having to pay shipping costs several times. In addition, you do not pay shipping costs for all orders above € 250.
6. Register with affiliate programs
Many ADI suppliers have their own partner programs, which you can also use if you order through ADI. The various programs provide many benefits, often including extra discounts. Depending on the program, you will get more benefits if you order multiple products from the same brand. So it's definitely worth looking into this, especially if you often use a particular brand.
7. Stay on top of promotions and price changes
We regularly send emails about new promotions and upcoming price changes. By subscribing to our newsletter, you will not only stay informed of what is going on in the market, but you can also prepare for future adjustments. As soon as we receive an upcoming price increase from the suppliers, we will keep you informed. At the end of each month, you will receive a summary of the expected price increases for the next two months. This way, you can make sure that you replenish your stock at the right time.
