‘Stocklink’ FREE!

I just received a letter from Parts Center advising me because I’m “a valued customer”, I can now enjoy ALL the benefits of STOCKLINK absolutely FREE from now on!!

Well ‘ard 😉 Thats an annual saving of £300 !!!!

Thank you Parts Center 🙂

Re: ‘Stocklink’ FREE!

That’s odd as our new rep from Partscentre or Washvac whichever you wish to call them had an appointment with me last Friday to install Stocklink on a free of charge trial basis as previously I have refused to pay for it.

I don’t believe I should pay for software that ultimately only benefits the supplier by increasing their sales, especially as their main competitor’s version is free.

I had to cancel the appointment due to call volumes etc, I will be requesting that it is installed free of charge permanently when he returns now though.

Thanks for the info Martin.

TBH if Wash Vac did offer this free it would sway a lot of people I think, but it’s their call.

Yeah, its free I was told last month but also told to “KEEP IT TO MYSELF” as they couldnt cope right now with an influx of new customers until they get sorted out at their new distribution centre.

So is this confirmed or not as being correct? Can someone please verify it with Wash Vac?

😆 What part of the word “yes” don’t you understand Ken 😆

Stocklink is now a free service, to the delight of many a Scotsman I expect 😉

Re: ‘Stocklink’ FREE!

It would appear that it is only being offered at the moment to “good” customers or prospective “good” customers with a view to removing some custom from Connect.

TBH, I did have Stockling before on a trial basis and found it to be quite the most horrendous piece of software I ever laid my hands on, so it never got used and was eventually uninstalled, that was 4 years or so ago.

Have there been any improvements ?

I have emailed Wash Vac and asked them to clarify the position.

Re: ‘Stocklink’ FREE!

OK here is the ‘Official Line’ on Parts Center (Wash Vac) Stocklink software as told to my by Eurorealm Ltd (the software providers/administrators).

and I quote…..

“Stocklink will be a free service to ALL EXISTING Parts Center account holders from now on!” (New customers on a ‘trial only’ basis until account is established)

And to answer Daves querie on how effective the software is?….Well its just fine and dandy I reckon since it has Broadband capability. Besides it incorporates lots of GIAS ‘parts identifier’ software and others nowadays, so its very good over all.

IMHO….it will come to pass that they will be able to include Merloni/ Whirlpool/Distriparts software within Stocklink in the not too distant future….. mark my words 😉 😉

Re: ‘Stocklink’ FREE!

The lovely lady at Parts Center (aka Wash Vac) telephoned me today regarding Stocklink to add that it stood for “Existing Account Holders only at this time, new customers will get a Free Trial Period and after that depending on turnover of business as to whether Stocklink is given free”.

She also mentioned one Kenneth Watt and Dave Conway did email and she asked me to forward the message on to you. :tup:

P.S. I have edited my previous posting to cover all points now established.
