TradeStore Account Benefits & Ordering

What a workshop GETS from having a trade account on WeldCo TradeStore, WeldCo's B2B ordering platform — and how trade customers get more out of it day to day. The territory is the VALUE OF HAVING the account, not the process of getting one. Every question here should be answerable by pointing at something a TradeStore account holder can do that a cash/walk-in buyer cannot: - your own negotiated contract pricing on every product, instead of list price - a named WeldCo sales rep with real welding and industry knowledge — product, application and job advice, not a call centre - saving favourites to build your own price lists for the items your workshop actually uses - one-tap reordering from favourites and order history, at the desk or off a phone on-site - analytics on what your business buys most, to plan consumable stock and spend - online quoting, and live order and delivery tracking with proof of delivery - multiple buyers, sites and delivery addresses under one account Audience: Australian workshops, fabricators, trades and industrial buyers who already buy welding consumables, gas, abrasives, PPE and machines — purchasing managers, workshop managers and owner-operators. OUT OF SCOPE — do not grow questions about any of this: how to apply for or open a trade account; approval times, required documents, ABN/proof-of-trade checks, why an application was declined; credit limits, credit checks, credit scores or business credit; payment terms (net 30 / net 60 / EOM), late fees, personal guarantees, invoices, statements, reconciliation or bookkeeping; closing, freezing or transferring an account; and anything comparing or recommending OTHER suppliers. Those are generic business-credit topics, not what WeldCo sells, and several of them send the reader to a competitor.

What a workshop GETS from having a trade account on WeldCo TradeStore, WeldCo's B2B ordering platform — and how trade customers get more out of it day to day.

The territory is the VALUE OF HAVING the account, not the process of getting one. Every question here should be answerable by pointing at something a TradeStore account holder can do that a cash/walk-in buyer cannot:

  • your own negotiated contract pricing on every product, instead of list price
  • a named WeldCo sales rep with real welding and industry knowledge — product, application and job advice, not a call centre
  • saving favourites to build your own price lists for the items your workshop actually uses
  • one-tap reordering from favourites and order history, at the desk or off a phone on-site
  • analytics on what your business buys most, to plan consumable stock and spend
  • online quoting, and live order and delivery tracking with proof of delivery
  • multiple buyers, sites and delivery addresses under one account

Audience: Australian workshops, fabricators, trades and industrial buyers who already buy welding consumables, gas, abrasives, PPE and machines — purchasing managers, workshop managers and owner-operators.

OUT OF SCOPE — do not grow questions about any of this: how to apply for or open a trade account; approval times, required documents, ABN/proof-of-trade checks, why an application was declined; credit limits, credit checks, credit scores or business credit; payment terms (net 30 / net 60 / EOM), late fees, personal guarantees, invoices, statements, reconciliation or bookkeeping; closing, freezing or transferring an account; and anything comparing or recommending OTHER suppliers.
