Trade is Partnership
As a trading company we understand your business. Over the years, our organisation has built up a huge amount of expertise that we would like to share with you. This not only involves product knowledge, but also knowledge of marketing and the logistics process. We believe this is partnership too. Kobout consciously works on long-term relationships and invests in these.
Our strong tools with which we can fully serve you:
Front office staff focused on the trading segment
The employees of the Trade team department know what is going on in the hardware trade. You will also have your own contact person who serves as your point of contact and knows your requirements and your organisation.
View and order online stock and prices
On our website you can easily and quickly view our stock and order directly. You can also hide the prices so that only the stock can be viewed. A function that is very valuable for desk staff who have direct contact with the customer.
Order with user-friendly EDI or webshop
Kobout has two user-friendly ordering options: EDI and the webshop. If you use the EDI system, you can easily and quickly place your orders and send them to Kobout. Kobout also provides the feedback per EDI, so your system is up-to-date.
Orders can also be placed on our webshop. Here you have a clear overview of the stock level, any order or shipping costs and you can find images and technical data of the products.
Delivery before 8am by night transport
Kobout offers night transport in close cooperation with our regular carrier Transmission. Orders are always delivered to customers at 8am pre-arranged location in or near their warehouse. The big advantage is that customers still have the full day to process and deliver the order. This easily saves an entire day on the delivery time. The Kobout warehouse will soon be an extension of your warehouse.
Neutral packaging for easy delivery
Kobout also supports the hardware trade when it comes to packaging. With neutral packaging orders can be easily resold.
With the Blue Line packaging and racks it is also possible to create a universal and sleek appearance without compromising the neutrality of the packaging. And the Blue Line boxes always have the same dimensions, so that a shelf plan does not have to be adjusted in the interim.
Customer-specific labeling and packaging is available
Kobout can also take care of various other matters, such as specific labelling or packaging. Kobout can take care of small packaging in blisters, pre-assembling, embossing, adjusting packing units etc., for example.
Set up a private label
A private label can also be set up, if required. Kobout can take care of this from A-Z, entirely according to customer requirements. Kobout will deliver the items in customised packaging and appearance at the desired times.
Threaded rods are cut to size for the customer
The metalworking department is the fastest growing department within Kobout. Sawing, bending and drilling are the main activities of this department. Kobout has an enormous capacity for this work with six sawing machines and various column drills. Because Kobout keeps 1, 2 and 3 metre thread ends in stock, we can act quickly.
