“24/7 Sales Manager” to
revolutionise door sales
A number of people have woken
up to the need for 24/7 ordering
but very few have made it quick
or easy to use. Door-Stop has
now gone one step further with
its new “24/7 Sales Manager”
website plug-in.
This allows fabricators and
installers to use online ordering
and pricing for composite doors
on their own websites, linking to
Door-Stop production in the same
way www.door-stop.co.uk does.

“The 24/7 Sales Manager has
been developed by our longterm digital agency partner, The

Consultancy, to add another
dimension to customers’ sales and
marketing,” explains Managing
Director Nick Dutton. “It is a
revolutionary tool, a simple to use
plug-in, which slots seamlessly
into existing websites. It gives
fabricators and installers customers
their own version of the DoorStop configurator making it easy
for their trade or homeowner
clients to design, order and pay for
the door they want, at any time

of day or night. Our customers
approve each order before it goes
to Door-Stop, giving them control
of the process.
“If installers prefer not to
divulge prices to homeowners,
they don’t have to, their customers
can use the door designer and
request a quote at the end.”

SHOWROOM REFURBISHMENT
Flair Plastic Products has just refurbished
its showroom to display more of Solidor’s
impressive composite door range to
the trade and consumer sectors, as the
composite door pioneer continues to grow
at a pace.
Throughout the UK, installation companies
are looking to enhance their showroom
offering and Flair’s newly refurbished site
is particularly impressive, with 13 Solidor
composite doors on show, each with a different
exterior colour. Yet Solidor can now offer an
incredible 17 colours inside and out, along
with 18 colour combinations for its chamfered
or ovolo Kömmerling outer frames.

The showroom environment at Flair has
proven to be a great way in which to display
the solid core composite doors from Solidor,
along with many of their other key features
including exclusive hardware options, through
colours and wide range of glass designs. All
the PVCu materials used by Solidor are also
lead-free, something that Flair also support
with the use of Kömmerling window and door
systems.
Adrian Keegan, strategic consultant for
Flair comments: ‘It’s important for us as a
business to be aligned with the best brands
and products in the industry and that’s why
we solely specify Solidor.’

OCT 2013

‘Hurst Live’ is a totally bespoke system,
which has been designed and created by
Hurst to provide rapid access to a wealth
of information and live updates. Hurst
Live can be accessed through Hurst’s
recently revamped website and also via
iPhones, Android phones and Windows
Smartphones.
Customers will now benefit from live
order tracking, to view full details of every
single order and chart its real time status
through order processing, manufacture and
delivery. Hurst Live also provides valuable
information on a customer’s full order
history over the last two years so they can

see their buying habits at a glance. Online
ordering of composite doors has been
designed to be both secure and simple,
whilst significantly reducing paperwork.
The new portal has a wide range of
essential information available to download
from individual customer pricing structures
through to technical data such as U-values
and certification, as well as access to
the extensive library of Hurst’s product
images.
