Saving, Sharing and Retrieving Shopping Lists
Why save a Shopping List?
- Reordering: Customers who frequently replenish their supplies of UNICOR products have built and saved lists of those products and, rather than 'shop' the store, they retrieve a list, add-to-cart, and edit the quantities for that specific re-order.
- Procurement Workflow: A typical federal acquisition runs through a market research phase to review capable vendors, an 'RFQ' phase for gathering 3 or more quotes, an approval phase where a budgetary official approves a purchase, and finally a purchase from an authorized procurement agent. It is unusual for one person to conduct all four phases, and many customers have learned to save a list and 'share' that list with the next colleague in their purchasing chain.
- Still doing Market Research: Some customers create a list with UNICOR products that meet their agency's requirements. After a final list of eligible vendors is complete, it's easy to pick up where you left off with UNICOR.
How do I share a list?
From the list page you may click the Share This List button. The next page invites you to provide the name and e-mail of your colleague with whom you wish to share your cart and a space to provide a brief message. Upon submission, your colleage will receive an e-mail with your message and a link to your list. You will be cc'd on that e-mail.
How do I retrieve a list?
Sign in to Unicor.gov and from the menu (or your My Account Dashboard), you may pick a list from your list of 'My Shopping Lists'.
