What is the basic structure of the CERATIZIT online shop?
We have classified the innumerable possibilities offered by our E-TECHSTORE in the following three main categories.
On the left-hand side
… shopping basket - here you can create orders or send enquiries
… products / catalogues - the complete information at a glance
Central area = display window
Header data
… My transactions - very powerful service tool: all documents created online and offline can be displayed
… My data- complete information on your company
… My support - you will never be left alone
… News - up-to-the-minute information
In this way you will receive all essential information displayed in a compact way and at a glance. Quick and easy product search and ordering with only a few clicks - easy, quick and effective!
Here you can SEND us information.
The shopping basket can be compared to a shopping cart which you can fill with articles as you wish. The included items can be added to, changed or deleted at any time.
You can either fill the shopping basket with materials and create a new order or, alternatively, open an enquiry directed to CERATIZIT. Furthermore new order templates can be created or shopping lists compiled.
Tip:
If you wish to place an order AND also send an enquiry, this has to be done one after the other. It is not possible to work with two document types at the same time. As soon as you edit an order, only orders will be displayed in the shopping basket.
As soon as the order editing has been concluded, all document types can be selected again in the shopping basket.
You can access the shopping list in the shopping basket at any time.
If you wish to place a new order, there are a number of possibilities:
1. Issue new order DIRECTLY
To be able to fill out this order either use the product search in our catalogue on the left-hand side of the screen or enter the respective material number or material description into the material field.
Tip:
You may also use your own customer material code (provided that it has been entered into our system)
2. Order via the shopping basket feature
To order you only have to click on the following symbol for the shopping cart.
You will find this symbol frequently in our shop:
a. with every material in the product overview
b. in every product detail
c. with your recently ordered articles
d. in your recurring orders - materials can also be transferred to the shopping basket also from already completed orders1. see "My invoices"
2. see "My orders"
3. see "My quotations"
4. see "My enquiries"e. in the shopping list
f. in all order templates
Can I choose between partial and complete delivery?
Yes. This option can be chosen when creating a new order.
I would like to cancel or change my order. Is that possible after having placed the order?
Yes. An already saved order can also be changed and later even cancelled. This is however only possible up to the point in time when the goods are dispatched.
Under 'My transactions / orders' you will find the requested order. As long as it is possible to change something, you can see the button 'Change' in the lower left-hand image. By clicking on this button you can add new materials to your order directly in E-TECHSTORE. If you'd like instead to change quantities or cancel items, please get in touch with our customer service who will do it for you.
PLEASE NOTE:
Should the following message appear: 'You can only edit one document at a time', you have already opened a document in the shopping basket: This transaction must be completed as only one document type can be edited at a time.
How do I know that my order / enquiry has arrived at CERATIZIT? Will I get an order confirmation?
After having checked and forwarded your order, the order confirmation is shown as the last step of our ordering process. In this way you can be sure that your order has been entered completely and forwarded correctly. After checking all data we will immediately send you a non-binding order confirmation via e-mail.
Tip:
You can decide at any moment if you wish to receive an order confirmation via e-mail. As a standard, the automatic receipt of this confirmation is entered in your profile.
To deactivate this feature you only need to tick NO under 'My data / user profile'.
Can I change the ship-to party in the order and/or can I name several ship-to parties?
In an order there is always the possibility to choose amongst all the goods recipients entered for your company.
Furthermore you can add new ship-to parties. The new ship-to party can only be entered for the country in which your company site is located. The new address can then be used once for the current order, or saved permanently online. To do so you simply have to tick 'Save permanently'. In this way the data will also be available for further orders.
Will any shipping costs be charged?
Your shipping costs are predetermined according to the shipping terms already entered. These are listed on the respective invoice.
Will I be informed when my order is dispatched?
As soon as the goods have been dispatched, you can monitor the progress of transport at any time under 'My transactions / orders' using the relevant tracking data. You will however not receive any separate message via e-mail.
What is an order template and how can I use it?
In order to save time in the case of recurring orders, we offer you the possibility to create order templates. These may then be continually re-used and with a few clicks transferred to the shopping basket either in their entirety or by item.
An overview of all your order templates can be viewed under 'My transactions / order templates'.
All entered order templates are visible for every user, independently of the authorisation level (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW).
Tip:
Should only one employee of your company have the authorisation to order, the order templates can still be created and saved by employees without an order authorisation.
Thereafter the order template can be checked by an employee with a HIGH authorisation and converted into an order.
What is a shopping list and how do I use it?
Similar to an order template the shopping list also helps to save time and to make work easier. It is best compared to a shopping list for the supermarket.
Here you can collect products which you might want to order later on and save them as a template. They can then be transferred to the shopping basket quickly and easily. Another search is therefore no longer necessary.
Your shopping list is always visible in the area of the shopping basket.
To fill out the list you simply have to click on the following symbol:
This feature can be found for every product in the product overview and also in the product details.
You can of course delete the material from your shopping list at any time.
Is there a minimum order quantity or order value also for online orders?
For online orders the same rules are applied as for manually created orders. The minimum order value per order is EUR 150.00. For orders below this value we charge a flat rate of EUR 15.00 per order.
PLEASE NOTE:
There could be a minimum order quantity for certain materials.
For example, if you order only 1 insert where the minimum order quantity is 10 pcs., the order quantity is automatically adapted. This depends on the product and packaging.
Is it possible to make enquiries via the shop to receive a quotation?
Yes. Here you can select 'New enquiry' in the shopping basket, fill it with the desired articles and send it.
Your enquiry is immediately processed and you will receive a quotation accordingly from your CERATIZIT adviser.
Which products can I buy at CERATIZIT via the shop?
In our E-TECHSTORE you can order over 25,000 products online which can be chosen from 12 different online catalogues.
Our shop mainly contains CERATIZIT standard articles.
Can I also order products which are not listed in the catalogue?
Yes. The prerequisite however is that you know the exact CERATIZIT material number or material description of the special product. You can then order via the shop.
Tip:
When you find a special product ordered in the past amongst your documents, you can order it easily and directly with a click on the shopping cart.
Product search - how can I find quickly what I am looking for?
After entering a material number or material description in the search field you will receive a product suggestion as soon as you enter the first figures / numbers.
1. Example:
You are looking for a milling cutter with the description A270.100.R.05-15?
Enter only A270 in the search field, and you will immediately see a list of all materials which have a description starting with this number combination. The criteria may now be limited further until the suitable milling cutter has been found.
2. Example:
You would like to have a list of all inserts in grade CTP1235?
Enter the grade in the search field and put an * as a wild card before and after. On pushing the 'Search' button the entire list is shown including information on availability.
Tip:
This 'Suggestion' feature is also available in your order or enquiry.
Is it also possible to receive information on the product details via the E-TECHSTORE?
We offer you detailed product information on all materials included in our E-TECHSTORE: compact - well-structured - complete.
You will find the essential information on every product at a glance. This includes on the one hand technical information (dimensions), and on the other commercial information concerning availability from stock and net prices in real time. Furthermore we also provide you with details regarding components towards the machine and towards the work piece and which accessories can be mounted.
Tip:
You can also download lists of the displayed products in an excel file.
Can CAD data be downloaded directly from the shop?
Yes. It is of fundamental importance that the CAD data are available for download in the product details.
The necessary models are also available in the .step and .dxf format.
Information on the availability of products in the product overview does not match the display of the product details. Why?
In rare cases it may happen that the overview of available products does not match the stock information in the product details. The reason for this is that the availability in the product overview is updated once a day while the availability on the product level is read LIVE from the system. In this way we are able to offer you the quick CERATIZIT service in the usual reliable way.
I have further questions concerning the product. Who can I refer to?
