From list to trolley to checkout - buying smarter via the internet

Buying supplies via the internet is now very similar to shopping at the supermarket.


One big difference though, is that you can use the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - all without leaving your office or home. Just4Dental has established an easy-to-use, web-based purchasing system that operates much like a supermarket (and uses much the same terminology).

Intending buyers register on the internet (through a completely secure transmission) and gain access to the full on-line "shopping mall". This mall incorporates internet "shop windows" for 11 well-established suppliers of dental supplies - for surgeries as well as labs.

The Just4Dental web site uses a powerful search facility that assists in locating products, as well as providing additional information on the product, current prices, packaging specifications and gives you the option of paying by credit card or on account.

Unlike your local supermarket however, you can get into the Just4Dental mall any time of the day, anywhere you have access to the internet. And, you don't have to search for a parking space or wait at the checkout line!

One of the great advantages of the Just4Dental buying system is access to what they call "shopping lists". Products that you buy regularly (or would like to have readily accessible), can be set up in lists under names that make it convenient for you to find them, such as "monthly disposables", "composites", or whatever. The products in the shopping lists can be added or deleted, as you desire.

Buyers can peruse their customised lists, selecting only those products they want to order - adding them to their "trolley" - making sure their order is all correct - and then proceeding to the "checkout" to place the order - all done at a time and pace convenient to the buyer.

The shopping lists make the buying process extremely efficient. The inclusion of current prices (including any specials) also makes the process very effective. The option of amending the lists to your own needs ensures that the lists are highly flexible and always relevant.

If you want to purchase a product not already in one of your shopping lists, you can select that item from the "shopping mall" and then add it to your "trolley" as well as your shopping list for future reference.

Once an order has been placed, the Just4Dental system allows you to print a copy of the order - making the handwritten purchase order a chore of the past. This time-saving benefit almost alone justifies using Just4Dental as the preferred buying option.

Starting from the shopping lists, putting products into the "trolley", and then proceeding to the checkout - the buying process may be familiar but the benefits are truly special.
