of spare parts ordering system, Dial247, which is now available to authorised dealers via the internet. www.dial247.co.uk Designed as a combined ordering and Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) package, Dial247 now offers the user ‘live’ access to information including stock availability, order entry, back order status and full order history. Up to the minute pricing information showing dealer discount terms and bulletins on the latest special offers will be available on line. As this is an internet based service, Dial247 can be accessed from any PC with internet connection. By using Dial247 a wide range of business functions can be performed, some of which are outlined below. User Access The user identity that is initially supplied to the dealer will give full access to both the EPC and ordering functions of Dial247. It is essential that each username is logged on no more than once at any one time, as this will affect your access to various areas of the website. If additional login details are required they are available by contacting the Dial Support Team via email dial.support@barrus.co.uk. Also available are accounts which have restricted access for users only wishing to view the EPC, but without the ability to order parts. Security Due to the flexibility of being an internet based service your account details, such as user name and password, should be kept secure and only given to authorised personnel. The Dial support Team can change the password/account should any staff or circumstances change. Please be sure to contact us Once an order has been placed the information is held on our computer infrastructure at EP Barrus, so if you do have any technical issues on site this will not affect the order. 4 Dial247 Training Manual Getting Started Enter the address below into your web browser address bar. www.dial247.co.uk Please be advised that you must use Windows Internet Explorer as this site has content which is not compatible with Mozilla Firefox or other web browser products.
