ACAL Technology adds new web tools to top-rated site

MyACAL (www.acaltechnology.com/myacal) introduces new self-service orderbook tools which allow users 24/7 access to real-time updates on their ACAL orderbook and access to a full year of orderbook history, as well as allowing them to track shipments in real-time. The service provides live updates on expected delivery dates in addition to signed proof of delivery.

Simon Rush, Divisional Sales and Marketing Information Manager, ACAL Technology, explains; “A change in work patterns and the development of a more self-service mindset mean that customers expect instant access to information, regardless of the time of day or night. MyACAL, provides users with more flexibility, choice, and control over the way in which they receive information which is vital to their work. This extends the lead role that ACAL has played in providing customers with the widest possible choice of communication channels by adopting new media such as Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube.”

MyACAL also allows users to manage their ACAL email newsletters and to create their own unique mix of RSS feeds from any external source and to view them online. This overcomes the problem of keeping up to date with industry and world events. MyACAL users can create their own custom mix of RSS feeds from their local ACAL branch and other electronics companies, as well as from news, sports or special interest sites and to view them on a single web page.

ACAL Technology’s website (www.acaltechnology.com) is ranked among the top 5% of global sites by the web information company, Alexa. In addition to the new tools, ACAL’s website offers parametric searches on over 150,000 line items and an extensive online library with technical white papers, e-catalogues and data on over 250,000 components, as well as online stock checking and purchasing.
