e-Shop provides simplified customer experience

~ HardwarePT, the industrial computing division of SolutionsPT, launches e-Shop with iPod Shuffle prize draw competition ~

Cheadle based automation hardware expert HardwarePT has announced that its new industrial automation e-Shop is live and open for business. The shop features a range of industrial computers and keyboards, HMIs, remote I/O modules, uninterruptable power supplies and network solutions including DeviceNet, Modbus and Profibus. To celebrate the launch, HardwarePT is automatically entering everyone who registers into a regular prize draw to win an iPod Shuffle.  The shop can be found at www.hardwareptshop.co.uk.


The HardwarePT eShop provides a comprehensive range of industrial automation hardware and connectivity tools suitable for all industrial environments.  These include branded products from companies such as Advantech, Portwell, Red Lion, InduKey, Molex and SPowerUK.

The Web site also offers integrated solutions for key industrial applications such as Ethernet, embedded computing, wireless technology, data acquisition, industrial connectivity and high availability servers. All products withstand harsh industrial environments and can help improve return on investment and decrease manufacturing downtime. 

“The HardwarePT e-Shop is all about improving the efficiency of doing business with us,” enthused Mike Lees, HardwarePT business manager at SolutionsPT. “It provides easy access to pricing information and at-your-fingertips technical details. The expectation from old and new customers is that everything they need should be available online and this move is another way of us helping fulfill that expectation,” he continued.  

“This mode of selling can help simplify the customer’s process and reduce their internal administration,” explained Lees. “The crux of the matter is choice though; we aren’t going to put a stop to our traditional consultative sales process. Instead we are going to give clients the option to either buy a part online and have it delivered for free or work with us in the normal way. Irrespective of the approach, our focus is always a high level of service both before and after the purchase.”

Once registered with the eShop, HardwarePT clients can manage their personal data and delivery details, track the status of their order and manage their shopping lists. 

Delivery is currently free to all UK customers and all orders for stock items are dispatched within 24 hours.
