Bill Of Materials Feature Added To Web Store

Bill of Materials feature

The "bundle" is stored under the assigned name, so when customer returns to the store in the future, the entire Bill of Materials can be added to the shopping cart with one click.

Automation Direct has added a new feature to its Web store which allows customers to create, save and order Bills of Materials (BOM). This feature is especially useful when placing frequent orders for identical "systems."

For example: A customer creates a Bill of Materials named "Remote Pump Station," and include all the parts necessary to build this unit. The BOM can be created from the items added to a Favorites List or from parts entered manually to the BOM.

The "bundle" is stored under the assigned name, so when customer returns to the store in the future, the entire Bill of Materials can be added to the shopping cart with one click. The customer can create and store as many unique BOMs as needed.
