We know that topping up supplies and resources for your school or nursery can be a time-consuming task. But it doesn’t have to be. That’s where our Smart Ordering toolkit comes in. Designed to streamline your ordering process, our toolkit offers a range of easy-to-use, time-saving solutions that take the hassle out of admin — and the best part? They’re completely free and effortless to set up! Join the smart revolution today — and take a look below at the range of options available to help make your ordering quicker and easier.
Whether you need a fully integrated solution that connects with your Financial Management System (FMS) or a simple procurement approval workflow, our quick and easy-to-deploy e-procurement solutions have you covered.
Take the hassle out of ordering with Smart Connect — our smart e-procurement solution that links directly with your Financial Management System (FMS). Designed for schools, MATs, and nursery groups, it streamlines every step of the process. With punchout technology, you can browse and shop on our website while staying connected to your FMS.
Orders are transferred smoothly between systems, invoices are sent automatically, and reconciliation becomes quick and easy. Less admin. More control. Total convenience.
Smart Flow empowers you to manage procurement effortlessly, giving you full control over budgets and spending across multiple departments or sites. You define who can place orders, set approval hierarchies, and establish spending limits - all without the need for additional software.
Just build your basket online and submit it for review and approval. It’s procurement, made smarter.
With 'Share Basket', collaboration is easy. Instantly email your basket to colleagues, your finance team, the school office, or anyone else involved in purchasing - no account or login required.
Just build your basket, click ‘Share Now’, and enter the recipient’s email address. They’ll receive a notification with your list and, if needed, can add the items to their basket with a single click. It’s quick, hassle-free, and keeps everyone in the loop.
With Quick Order, you can place your bulk orders quickly by adding items to your basket faster and easier than ever.
Simply input your product code and quantities or upload a list using our Excel template, and in no time, your basket is ready. It’s a hassle-free way to get the products you need with minimal effort. There’s no software to install, build your basket and submit for review/approval.
If our integrated smart ordering solutions aren’t the right option for you, the Excel Basket solution could be exactly what you need.
After building your basket, just click the “Save to Excel” button. Once you have the downloaded file, you can easily upload it to your FMS or proceed with your usual approval process.
Our FMS files offer a downloadable version of our full product range. Updated three times a year (January, April, and September), these files ensure you always have the latest pricing and product information.
They’re free to use, easy to set up, and require no IT support. The files are formatted for seamless import into your system, helping you stay efficient and accurate.
With My Account, managing your orders is both simple and efficient. Access your full order history, track deliveries, view delivery notes, and easily pay invoices and statements. Quickly reorder your frequently purchased items and effortlessly manage your product lists. Plus, keep your account up-to-date with personalised settings — all in one convenient place.
We offer two great options to help you keep track of your favourite items. You can simply ‘heart’ items you love and access them anytime in the Product I Love section within My Account.
Alternatively, you can create and save Lists — easily accessible from your My Account area. You can name, edit, and even share them with a colleague. Converting a list into an order is also quick and simple with our Buy Now buttons.
Looking to reorder items quickly? My Account makes it simple. Browse your Order History, search by purchase order number, or use the ‘Past Purchases’ tab to see everything you’ve previously bought.
Want to save even more time? Head to ‘Frequently Purchased’ to find your most common items — and with just one click, you can ‘Buy Again’, whether it’s a single item or a full order. No need to re-type product codes, just reorder and go!
I love the download to Excel, which gives me flexibility when I have to split costs between departments. This time I even used a previous order to create a new basket, you just seem to think of every functionality.

I like the fact that I can order and it is sent through to the finance department without me having to act as the middle ground. It makes it fast and efficient for me as a teacher.
Stockport Grammar School
The quick order button makes it much easier when you have a long list of items to order and you have the codes. Website very easy to use and the next day delivery option is very useful as well.
