Question:

Question:

Is there any control mechanism of who is permitted to order? We want our people to access the webshop but we don't want particular sales engineers to order gifts directly by themselves because we have to follow a certain approval cycle and all the time they need their Business Line Manager's approval. We also want to be sure that there is nobody ordering to our company account without any control.

Answer:

Regarding the authorization of users, the previous system, Atlas Copco Gear was open to all employees (the userid and pw was well-known by all Atlas Copco employees since it was published in The Way and all Brand Manuals as a public document) as employees are supposed to respect the local procure regulations and invoicing approval workflow, but anyhow, I can understand your concern so you can discuss with Creon to look for the solution that suits better to your country. Anyhow, if you just want to authorize/unauthorize certain people in your company, we can arrange that with Creon. Please, come back with more detailed info and we can discuss with them.

Answer:

Divisional/ Product specific items will not be shown in the Profile Store. It's the intention of the shop to only show Atlas Copco branded general products and not Divisional ones. These items have been selected by the project team and approved by the Group, so no other items appart from these will be shown. When campaigns, fairs, etc... , contact Creon (profilestore@creon.se), they will be back with a proposal. (Creon has been trained on Atlas Copco branding guidelines) and advise you about quantities. These divisional items will be invoiced and sent to you but they will not be published in the shop.

Question:

What’s different about ordering an OnDemand-item?

Answer: 

OnDemand items are finished upon reception of your order. They are not kept in stock like regular assortment items. As a result, the delivery time for OnDemand items is longer than for other items, and adds about a week to regular delivery times. When you purchase regular items and OnDemand items in the same order, the delivery time adjusts to accommodate the OnDemand-items. Should you wish to split the delivery and receive the regular items within standard delivery times, contact us at profilestore@creon.se
