CertainTeed Expands Online Resource for Bufftech® Vinyl Fencing for Ease, Efficiency
(Valley Forge, Pa.) – CertainTeed is expanding its Bufftech® Websource, an online resource for Bufftech® vinyl fencing dealers and distributors, to improve functionality and make it even easier to select products, secure pricing quotes and order bulk quantities of the company’s industry-leading fencing materials.
?The upgraded Websource service includes new features that provide ease and efficiency for both dealers and distributors. The new “truckload calculator” enables distributors to determine optimal bulk orders for the most cost effective shipping method and to reduce their overall carbon footprint. One of the new features for dealers is “Distributor-Dealer-Direct,” which enables them to create customized quotes and order product directly from Bufftech fence distributors. An enhancement for all users — either buying direct from CertainTeed or through a Bufftech fence distributor — quotes and orders can now be saved and accessed later when ready for purchase.
“As the online market grows and business is increasingly conducted electronically, CertainTeed is upgrading online tools to meet customer needs. Our value-added tools, like Bufftech Websource, are designed to help our customers, and now our customers’ customer, be more efficient and effective in many aspects of business,” says Doug Mucher, product manager for CertainTeed’s Fence, Railing and Deck Business. “Bufftech Websource is yet another advantage of doing business with CertainTeed. Our customers get high-quality fencing products with an advanced and easy-to-use, full service online resource.”
Available since 2003, Websource initially launched as an electronic price book for Bufftech fence products — allowing customers to customize pricing, draft quotes and create purchase orders. The program was designed to automatically apply discounts, profits and product numbers making the process easy, quick and accurate. Websource also provides installation instructions and marketing support for the customer. Orders are electronically sent to CertainTeed for processing and customers also can easily access their order history. Additionally, Websource serves as the portal to CertainTeed Business Connections, an online site for ordering Bufftech's entire selection of industry-leading literature, displays and samples.
