Illustrative electrical product request ## The selected item arrives with a usable quantity. Sales can review the requested item and delivery context together. Clear identifiers and units reduce ambiguity before the team prepares a quote, especially when a product is sold individually, by pack or by length. What your customer fills in ### The selected part, in its selling unit. A contractor chooses an approved product, checks the manufacturer reference and enters quantity with its selling unit. The request includes pickup or delivery, ZIP code and timing, with a notes field for project requirements or help identifying a part. **Selected item**: DEMO-EL-020 · electrical accessory **Manufacturer reference**: DEMO-MFR-020 **Quantity and unit**: 20 individual items **Delivery**: Jobsite ZIP 10001 **Timing and alternatives**: Needed next week · ask before substituting What your team receives ### Identifiers your sales team can review. A line item with both your catalog reference and the manufacturer part number, plus the requested quantity and unit. Delivery details stay attached, and any request for an alternative remains a question for sales rather than an automatic substitution. **Catalog reference**: DEMO-EL-020 **Manufacturer part number**: DEMO-MFR-020 **Quantity to quote**: 20 each **Delivery context**: Jobsite ZIP 10001 · date unconfirmed **Buyer instruction**: Alternative requires a discussion Workflow reference: [Rexel USA product listings: item, catalog and UPC identifiers](https://www.rexelusa.com/s/search?other=new-products&stock=all) Work with us ## What we would build. From $4,500 USD Starting website package. Your written proposal confirms pages, content, currency and timeline. 50% at start, 50% on completion. [How we work](https://1968labs.com/method) - Up to eight agreed pages, with supplied product families and a clear quote-request journey. - Custom desktop and mobile design, with product identifiers and approved document links easy to find. - An inquiry form retaining the selected item, quantity, unit and delivery details, with tested delivery and errors. - Page titles, descriptions, sitemap, recorded accessibility and performance checks, source files and editing guidance. Your team confirms suitability, substitutions, availability, price and delivery. Live branch stock, trade-account pricing, checkout, installation advice and ERP connections are outside the starting website package; custom integrations require a separate written scope. ## Plan the right starting point. ### Prepare one accurate product family Supply internal and manufacturer identifiers, descriptions, selling units, images and approved data sheets. Keep wire gauge, ratings or other attributes exactly as supplied for the relevant family; do not infer them from a similar item. ### Make ownership clear Choose who updates discontinued items, replacements and pack conventions. Agree the inbox and follow-up process so an incomplete identification request can reach a person who understands the range. ## Before you decide. **Do we need ecommerce or a quote-request catalog?** Use a quote request when stock, project pricing or substitutions need sales review. Checkout makes sense only when product data, account pricing, inventory and fulfillment can support it. Review an existing commerce tool before scoping a custom connection. **How should cable and packaged products show quantity?** Label the actual selling unit beside the quantity. Preserve the manufacturer’s units, whether feet, a reel, individual items or a pack. When a pack has a stated count, carry that count with the request; do not silently convert the buyer’s quantity. **Can a buyer request an equivalent part?** Yes, as a request for your team to review. Keep the original reference and the reason for seeking an alternative. Product filters can help discovery, but a matching rating or appearance must not be presented as approval for a replacement. ## Plan your next step.
