PPE & Safety suppliers

PPE Ordering Portal for Safety Suppliers

Supervisors and crew each see only the range their role is approved for, stock is tracked by size, and a low-stock alert lands before you run out.

How it works

How it works for your clients

The right gear for each role. Nothing else.

  • Supervisors and crew, each under their own role

    Each person signs in under a role such as Supervisor or Site Crew, and the range they see is exactly what that role is approved to order, nothing more.
  • Each role sees only its approved range

    A role decides which products appear at all: a Site Supervisor can see the hi-vis range and an office role simply does not, so nobody has to police what gets ordered.
  • Stock by size, with an alert before you run low

    Stock is tracked down to the size, and a low-stock threshold you set triggers an alert so you can reorder before a size runs out mid-project.
  • On account, with manager approval per site if they want it

    Orders go through on account, and a site that wants a manager to sign off first can have approval switched on for just that branch.

The rules

The rules that matter for this kind of client

  • Role-based ranges

    A role such as Supervisor or Site Crew decides exactly which products that person can see and order, so staff only see the kit their role allows.
  • Stock by size, with low-stock alerts

    Stock on hand is tracked by size, with a low-stock threshold per product that raises an alert before you run out of a size altogether.
  • Approval per site

    Switch on manager approval for a site that wants orders signed off before they ship, and leave other sites ordering freely.
  • Allowance in dollars or item counts

    Give each role an allowance in dollars or a straight item count, with a bigger initial issue for a new starter and a scheduled top-up after.
  • A CSV import for a new crew

    Bring a new site on board by importing its staff, roles and contacts from a CSV instead of setting each person up by hand.
What it looks like

What their portal looks like

A new starter's kit is usually a list somebody remembers from last time, chased down in an email. Here the role decides the kit: put a person in the Site Crew role and their approved range and their allowance are already set.
  • A role decides the approved range, not a memory
  • Stock tracked by size, with an alert before it runs out
  • Approval per site, only where it's wanted
  • On account, invoiced through Xero

Before and after

Today a new starter's kit is a list in an email. Here the role decides the range, so staff only order what their role allows.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can we stop people ordering outside their approved range?

Yes. A role controls exactly which products a person can see and order, so a Site Supervisor can have the hi-vis range while an office role simply does not see it.

Will we know before we run out of a size?

Yes. Stock is tracked by size, and a low-stock threshold you set for each product raises an alert before it runs out.

Can one site require approval and another not?

Yes. Manager approval for orders can be switched on per site, so it applies only where a site wants that extra step.

Can allowances be in dollars instead of item counts?

Yes. Allowances can be set in dollars or in item counts, per role or per person, with an initial issue and a scheduled top-up.

What does pricing look like?

Pricing depends on how your business is set up, so it is quoted after a conversation rather than published as a number.
