Master of online purchasing, owning IT on African continent

Clive Maher, Managing Director of EET Europarts
Clive Maher, Managing Director of EET Europarts

EET Europarts South Africa took control of the IT parts market in January 2013 by introducing a complete electronic Web platform. The system has been implemented and designed around "Saving You Time".

The online portal, viewable @ www.eeteuroparts.co.za, has proven and been commended by several of our large corporate clients on how quickly quotes and orders are placed without having to e-mail or even pick up the telephone to procure parts. Our system provides the Procurement or Sales team within your organisation with an instant quote and the ability to place orders and track orders online by the simple click of a button.

While this kind of technology is still new to South Africa, it provides the next level of technology, understanding and process management when it comes to streamlining and saving costs within your business.

EET Europarts South Africa currently holds the Official Lexmark Parts Channel contract for both warranty and out of warranty business in South Africa and Africa.

EET Europarts South Africa also holds the HP parts channel contract in South Africa and Africa, making it the largest HP distributor in the country today.

While ensuring EET Europarts procures through the correct channels and supports its network of 23 countries around the world, EET Europarts South Africa has access to just about any brand or part available for IT in the world today.

EET Europarts South Africa supports the likes of IBM, Dell, OKI, Epson, Brother, Sony, Samsung, NCR, Diebold, Philips, Acer, Canon, Lenovo, Apple, Konica Minolta, Panasonic, Tally, providing the most efficient and streamlined process in South Africa and Africa today!

The EET Europarts motto for South Africa and Africa is to become the largest, most well-known IT spare parts warehouse offering and guaranteeing the fairest deal in the market today.

Since January, the company's total buyer base has increased by 23% and its Web versus manual orders has and is steadily improving, showing a positive trend of customers moving over to buying online. To date, EET Europarts' Web orders equate to 75% of its business versus manual order placed totalling 25%. These kinds of statistics prove the need for the company's system in the market and prove that time-saving does equate to money.

Managing Director Clive Maher, noted and praised in the industry for several years of experience and having built the business in South African from a mere four-man business up to the current staff complement of 30 employees and still growing, relies on and openly maintains that business in South Africa and Africa is easy, provided you are able to build and maintain the right relationships with the right people. There are opportunities at every corner!

Not only are we providing an online portal to our customers, but we are offering an award-winning "product guide" free of charge to all users entering the Web portal. This product guide has been designed to assist you in finding the correct part you are procuring first time round! The guide allows the user to enter his/her machine type or model and then provides the user with all the parts available for that specific machine, which in turn the user can drill down by category until the correct part has been found. This product guide has over 400 000 parts available to it and is updated daily.

EET Europarts goes one step further and allows the user or company the benefit of using this product guide free of charge on its Web site, which springboards them into an immediate position of having the parts and descriptions by brand instantly. Many companies and online e-stores have taken up this offer and are utilising EET Europarts' product guide as intended to bring more business and search ability to their Web sites.

Maher firmly believes in his status line that "EET Europarts South Africa does not market themselves as the cheapest in the market today, nor are we the most expensive, but we will give you the fairest deal overall in the market today" - a fair and honest statement.

EET Europarts South Africa is only too pleased to provide training to your staff, free of charge, at a time suitable to you. There is no charge to the system and no charge to training your staff and making them the most senior and advanced procurement department In South Africa and Africa!
