AIM - Automated Inventory Management

We've developed our own, all-in-one procurement system called AIM, which integrates and works directly with your storage facilities and stocked vehicles. AIM tracks live data across multiple inventory sites to automate your procurement / replenishment process.

AIM's web-based interface on ElliottElectric.com works seamlessly with the AIM software installed on your mobile devices. Compatible devices include Android tablets as well as Symbol wands, like Motorola's MC65 and MC67. AIM includes the following features:

• Track your live inventory levels, with streamlined replenishment options.
• Track multiple inventories and areas if, for example, you maintain stocked vehicles or multiple warehouses / branches.
• Set order points and order quantities on each inventory item so the system knows when it's time to replenish your supplies.
• Automatically place orders to Elliott Electric Supply when an item's stock quantity drops below your chosen order point. The system lets you review and approve before orders are placed.
• When AIM is installed, your mobile devices (like the MC65 and Android tablets) automatically communicate and work with our web-based system here on ElliottElectric.com.

Projects with Stored Materials

When you store and stage your material with us, you have complete oversight via ElliottElectric.com, compatible with any device. Per your instructions, we'll strategically organize your pallets to match the phases of your project, with everything carefully labeled, palletized, and all kits assembled and ready to go. Using our website, you can easily request shipments to your jobsite, or set up a shipment schedule. Run instant audit or recap reports on your inventory, get item-by-item order status, and much more. Read more about our capabilities for Projects with Stored Material.

Automated Purchase Orders

We are happy to receive your purchase orders electronically in cXML format for fast, automated processing. Just send the XML file to epo@elliottelectric.com and we will process the file, create an order, and send you an acknowledgement message, with further options for status & shipment tracking.

e-Procurement:

In addition to AIM, our own in-house system, we are also committed to supporting ALL of the most prominent business-to-business (B2B) service formats for e-Procurement (commonly called "PunchOut," "supplier exchange," or "procure-to-pay" software), including systems like Oracle, Oildex, Cortex, Ariba, GEP, B-PACK, Ivalua, and others.

Order/Ticket Notifications

Find out immediately when an order is shipped, delivered, or ready for pickup (will-call). To opt-in to receive Notifications via text message from Elliott Electric Supply, simply text "ELLIOTT" to "81411." (Please note, your carrier's standard text messaging rates will apply.)

Once you've opted in for text notifications, whenever you place an order you can tell your sales person what type of notifications you want to receive—for example: a text when your order leaves our warehouse, a text when our truck delivers your order, or a text when your order is ready for pickup (will-call).

Customizing Notifications:

Our Mobile App offers additional options. You can choose what types of notifications you receive when specific events, like status changes, occur for orders.

Notifications can be sent to you using any of the following methods:

• Text message
• Email
• Fax
• Notification via the Elliott Electric Supply iPhone/Android App

We can notify you for the following events:

• PO Acknowledgement
• Advance Shipping Notice (when your order is about to ship)
• Delivery Alerts (when your order is delivered; plus, in metro areas, when your delivery is our next stop)
• New Invoices

Advance Shipping Notices

We send advance shipping notices through EDI, or via email in PDF format, when an order is about to be shipped. Additional types of notifications, including real-time delivery alerts and more, are coming soon.

In addition to Advance Shipping Notices, you can use the recent orders page on ElliottElectric.com to check order status and drill-down into the shipment(s) for each order. As certain orders will have multiple shipments, our system lets you see which items are on each individual shipment, each shipment's status, and tracking number. Similar information is also available for non-shipped orders (like pick-ups, etc.), giving you the place, time, and method by which your materials left our facilities. For many areas, we even offer GPS tracking on our trucks, so you can know exactly when & where your stuff is!

In-Store Pickup Orders

You can pick up your orders at any of our convenient locations (at no additional cost). We offer a range of ways to pickup your order in store, shown below. Specific pickup options vary by location.

Will-Call Express

We've made traditional will-call pickups more convenient than ever. Order your items however you like, by phone, online, or in person. We'll let you know when your items are ready for pickup. You can then come to Will-Call at your convenience. Pull up, confirm your purchase, and go! Some locations even offer a dedicated Will-Call Express loading bay for a faster load-and-go!

Will-Call Curbside

Our 100% contactless option for paying and picking up your orders, Will Call Curbside uses our mobile app. When you arrive for a Will-Call Curbside pickup, simply park at the Will Call Center and let us know you've arrived. Our app enables you to confirm orders, input security PINs, and pay with your mobile devices. We hand-deliver your materials to your vehicle and can load them for you.

Pickup at the Sales Counter

You can also pick up your orders at the sales counter inside any Elliott Electric Supply location. This option is perfect if you think you might need to add more items to your order when you arrive.

Pro tip: Grab some complimentary refreshments before you go!
