Web tool for adhesives buyers

POD saves customers' time, provides flexibility and access to a wealth of information. Once the customer has registered, orders can be made instantly or created over time and stored for eventual upload. And in addition to product availability, pricing and packaging options, customers can download technical data sheets and store favourites. Order tracking is comprehensive, the company claims, with three months to view and access to archives. It provides a high level of detail including the date of manufacture, batch number, shelf life and best before date for each product. Any text in red, in this section and across the site, indicates further information is available. All the customer has to do is click to drill down. "The response to POD has been very positive," explained Helen Birch who is responsible for spreading the word on the new facility and POD training. "The scope of the site is what really grabs people. Many have taken to it straight away, others have asked for some training. Normally within 15 minutes they have the knowledge they need." To sign up for Henkel POD, readers should visit
