New feature in the shop:
‘Request shopping basket as a quote’Greater efficiency for B2B procurement processes – now with seamless account integration

Many of our business customers work with clearly defined procurement processes: products must be checked, approved or budgeted internally. Traditional checkout processes often only reflect this reality to a limited extent. That’s why we developed the new ‘Request shopping basket as quote’ feature – a solution that supports internal workflows while simplifying the ordering process.

Why this feature is so valuable for B2B customers

1. Process-compatible

Buyers can send their filled shopping cart directly as an inquiry to our team – with all relevant data such as company name, VAT ID, address, and detailed product list. This allows for optimal internal preparation of quotation and approval processes.

2. Maximum Stability & Legal Certainty

The inquiry is sent via the user’s own email program. This ensures:

     

  • full traceability

    •  

  • stable communication without additional systems

    •  

  • GDPR-compliant data transfer

    •  

  • no server-side processing of sensitive content

3. Bilingual and immediately ready for use

The function is fully DE/EN capable. The email is automatically generated in the shop language used – ideal for international teams.

Login – Why a customer account is necessary

Registration in the customer account is required for the quotation request.
We consciously communicate this in a benefit-oriented way, as the login is not an obstacle but a real advantage for the

Users:

     

  • Company and billing data are stored

    •  

  • VAT ID & company information are automatically adopted

    •  

  • Follow-up questions are eliminated

    •  

  • Inquiries can be answered faster and more accurately

In short: Log in once – inquire more efficiently permanently.
In the shop, this is communicated discreetly and transparently via a short note, without interrupting the user flow.

How it works in detail

The ‘Request quote for shopping basket’ button is already present in the shopping basket and in the off-canvas shopping basket, but initially leads to the checkout page. There, companies can finally check or update their billing address and customer data before the actual quote request is triggered. The full function is therefore only available on the checkout page.

If users are logged in, one click is enough.
The system automatically generates a pre-formulated email with:

     

  • Customer data

    •  

  • Company information

    •  

  • VAT ID

    •  

  • Billing address

    •  

  • Shopping cart including quantities & article numbers

Shipping is handled via the local email programme – stable, legally compliant and without media discontinuity.

For whom is this solution particularly valuable?

Purchasing departments with quotation or approval processes

Companies that require internal approval before placing orders

Project- or order-related procurement teams

Organisations with regularly recurring product enquiries

Fazit

With ‘Request quote for shopping cart’, we are introducing a practical, legally compliant and process-optimised function to the shop that is ideally tailored to the needs of B2B customers.
The login ensures a high-quality database, fewer queries and significantly more efficient processes – exactly what professional purchasing organisations expect today.

Process optimisation & efficiency

Companies that work with hazardous goods labels, labelling solutions or safety-related labels require reliable and clearly structured procurement processes. Transparency is crucial, especially in B2B purchasing: products must be checked internally, approved and allocated to budgets. With our new function for requesting quotations directly from the shopping basket, we support precisely these requirements. It enables purchasing teams to prepare quotations efficiently, in a legally compliant manner and without media discontinuity – including all relevant data on labelling, labels and accessories. This makes the digital procurement process noticeably faster, clearly documented and optimally tailored to the compliance requirements of modern companies.

B2B procurement & labelling solutions

For companies that regularly require hazardous goods labels, legally compliant labelling elements or industry-specific accessories, the focus is on fast availability, clear information and smooth ordering processes. Our new shopping basket function greatly simplifies requests for quotations and integrates seamlessly into existing procurement structures. Purchasing teams can request all the labelling products they need with a single click – including item details, quantities and company data. This creates planning security, shortens internal approval processes and increases transparency along the entire procurement chain. A step that consistently advances digital purchasing for labelling and labels.

Compliance, security & digital workflows

When it comes to hazardous goods labelling and marking, it is not only product quality that plays a role, but above all correct, traceable documentation within the procurement process. Many companies therefore rely on clearly defined internal workflows and require quotations before placing an order. Our new solution makes it possible to generate quotation requests directly from the shopping basket – fully data-based, bilingual and compatible with all common B2B approval processes. For teams working with hazardous goods labels, warning labels or technical labelling accessories, this creates a digital process that saves time, increases precision and reliably supports compliance with legal requirements.
