Notes for using these guides
Prepare and compare the order
Start with the enquiry checklist, then examine what drives cost and which parts are included. A panel price is only one line in the supplied package.
Keep the drawing revision and delivery basis consistent when comparing offers. An unresolved item is not a zero-cost inclusion, and a proposed alternative needs technical review as well as a new price.
Preserve identity through packing and receiving
Packing needs to protect the finish while allowing the receiver to identify components and reconcile quantities. Use these guides to organise those checks around the actual delivery.
Special panels, gate hardware and phase-specific parts should retain their references. A correct overall count can still delay work if the required components cannot be located or distinguished.
Manage repeat supply and delivery issues
The following articles address the records needed after the first purchasing decision. Preserve accepted specifications so a reorder or a problem report can be resolved against the supplied item.
For FencingWise's supply arrangements, use project supply, distributor supply and packing and shipping. For a specific enquiry, include product references, quantities, destination and the documents that define the required configuration. Commercial conditions belong in the written quotation and order.
Samples, private labels and the completed shipment
Resolve batch and sample scope before production. For dispatch, reconcile physical packages, documents and commercial responsibilities against the same order.
