MOORESVILLE, N.C.,
Aug. 10, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) today
announced its latest tool to help Pro customers save time, money
and run their businesses more efficiently: a newly enhanced
LowesForPros.com. Through the upgraded site, Pro customers can make
and track purchases of more than 500,000 items to run their
business from the convenience of a computer, tablet or smartphone
and can choose to buy online and pick-up in-store or have orders
delivered directly to their business or jobsite.
Lowe's listened to the Pro customer and designed the new
LowesForPros.com to be a complete online solution, offering more
efficient functionality that allows Pros to develop requisition
lists, access purchase history reports and create custom catalogs.
These catalogs enable customers, such as property management
companies, to maintain their brand and design standards across
multiple buyers and locations while saving time creating new
orders. The website also allows Pro customers to manage their
company spend by setting purchase approvals and providing the
ability to process tax-exempt transactions.
Conrex Residential Property Group, a Lowe's Pro customer and
leader in the single family rental aggregation space with more than
2,500 homes and growing by 200 homes per month, provided valuable
insight along with other leading Pro businesses during the testing
phase of LowesForPros.com.
"As a company we needed more control over purchasing and
reporting from field operations. We also love the idea of
placing orders conveniently online without having to go to the
store. Lowe's For Pros is a valuable tool to meet these
needs," said Tyson Schuetze,
director of renovations for Conrex Residential Property Group. "The
catalogs help to standardize the look of our homes throughout our
footprint. Email order confirmation helps our Renovation
Managers in the field to manage budgets and stay organized.
By being part of the testing phase of this new site, we were able
to give suggestions and direct feedback, which made us feel that
Lowe's really cares about the customer's needs."
The site also provides Pros with the most relevant content,
offers and industry resources to help grow their businesses,
allowing Pros to take 5 percent off online purchases every day with
Lowe's Business Credit and to take advantage of savings for
tax-exempt purchases.
"LowesForPros.com helps Pros save time, money and run their
businesses as efficiently as possible," said Mike Horn, Lowe's vice president of ProServices.
"Pros have the ability to buy online and pick-up in-store or have
orders delivered directly to their business or jobsite while taking
advantage of the 5 percent discount every day wherever they choose
to shop with us – through their mobile device, tablet or computer.
This new website was designed by the Pro, for the Pro."
