For UK businesses # Catalogue websites for UK industrial suppliers. 1968 Labs builds websites and enquiry workflows for UK businesses. Help a buyer identify the right part and send an enquiry your sales team can start quoting. Keep approved product references and selling units with the quantity, required date and delivery postcode. [Discuss your website](https://1968labs.com/contact?need=industrial-suppliers&source=/uk/industrial-supplier-websites) ## A part reference belongs with the enquiry. When a buyer moves from a PDF catalogue to a general email, your team may need to ask which item, which variant and which selling unit they mean. A product-specific request carries that context into the sales inbox. Your team still confirms specifications, stock, price and delivery.

Start with one product family and supply an approved spreadsheet, specifications and images. Keep the PDF as a download where useful. Agree who maintains the online records before expanding the range. **How do you handle metric and imperial product sizes?** Keep the manufacturer's approved units beside each measurement and distinguish an item, pack or length. Where both unit systems are needed, publish approved values rather than inventing conversions or treating differently sized parts as interchangeable. **What should a UK quote request collect?** The selected part or specification, quantity and selling unit, required date, delivery postcode and country, contact details and relevant notes. For made-to-order parts, agree whether a drawing upload or a clearly explained email route is appropriate. **Do you need ecommerce checkout?** Use a quote request when your team must confirm price, availability or suitability. Choose checkout only when the business can support dependable product selection, prices and order handling. Those are separate scopes. ## Prepare the request before the build.
