• Get more information. Once you are
viewing information about a product,
you have direct access to vendor
websites for more detailed product
specifications. The site also has MSDS
for many products.
• Create reports. Getting information is
easier as you can run sales and purchase
history reports receivable via email.
• Pay Your Bills. Pay your Blish-Mize bill,
make returns and file credit requests.
• Search easily. One of the latest features
allows you to find an item just by typing
the last five digits of a UPC. You can also
search each vendor product listing by
product category.
• Get ready for the Market. You can view
and print the Spring and Fall Market books
and coupons.
If you would like to see a demonstration
of the Blish-Mize online catalog, stop by and
see Rich Clem in the Retail Services booth at
the Market.
ONLINE TOOLS
From Blish-Mize Customers
“The Blish-Mize website is a lot better than others (from other
wholesalers) we’ve seen. It’s a lot simpler to work with and is faster.
For example, if you have a return, you can do it right there on the
computer and not have to wait for a sales rep.”
Mike Wendt, Anita Supply Center, Anita, Iowa
“Every month, we look at the virtual promotions and see all the
information on pricing. Having it online is better than having it on
paper. It’s all in one place, and you can look at it on your own time.”
Susan Crewdson, Kildare Lumber, North Platte, Neb.
“I find it very useful because it always has the right price, unlike the
paper catalogs that can get outdated. I also like the way everything
is categorized. It’s easy to find what you’re looking for.”
Leroy Lipska, Lipps Lumber and Hardware, Pine Bluffs, Wyo.
