Death of the Drives & Motor Salesman?

Consumers in the UK are using their devices to shop more than ever. Figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that six out of ten British adults use the internet to buy products such as food, clothing, music, holidays, engineering products and services.

This is twice the average of the OECD’s 34 member states, which include the US, Germany, Australia and France.

On average, just three out of ten people in OECD nations buy goods or services online.

Britons spent £68.2 billion on the internet last year, an increase of almost £10 billion on 2010, according to IMRG, a body which represents the UK’s online retailers.

"We are seeing a change in the way our clients are sourcing Variable Speed Drives and Motors today," says Kevin Brown, Managing Director of Quantum Controls, the UK’s leading supplier of ABB Drives and Motors since 1994.

Engineers and procurement professionals all have internet access today and buying online is becoming a preferred method. In the past it had been a problem as company credit cards would not generally be issued hence making a on line transaction impossible. But this is not the case today even if a company credit card is not available buyers can purchase through Quantum’s innovative web site using Pay Pal or the traditional official order number method making it the easy option for buyers of engineering goods and services.

You don’t have to be an existing client either, simply place your order online with Quantum and the order will be processed.

"It’s never been easier to order ABB Drives and Motors on line, full technical specification, part numbers, GA drawings and net prices are accessible in seconds” says Brown. "Our clients have more pressure on their time than ever before so buying online provides a quick and reliable way to shop in our industry; it is inevitable that the buying methods within engineering follow society as whole."
