How to Use a "Shared Carts" list to Re-Order in Seconds

Reading Time: 3 Minutes

If you are managing the procurement for a service fleet or a large facility, your biggest enemy isn't the price of a part. It’s time.

Searching for the same common gaskets, igniters, and filters every two weeks is a research drain that keeps you from tackling higher-level inventory challenges. At AllPoints, we built the "Shared Carts" tool specifically to solve this problem. It transforms a 15-minute search-and-add process into a 1-click re-order.

Here is how to set up your digital stockroom and get those orders off your desk in record time.

Step 1: Create Your "Digital Truck Stock"

Think of a "Shared Carts" list as a saved folder for specific jobs or trucks. Instead of one giant list, we recommend creating lists based on how you actually work:

• Truck Stock: High-volume "truck stock" essentials (fuses, thermocouples, tape).
• PM Kits: All the filters and belts needed for a specific quarterly maintenance contract.
• Monthly Replenishment: The parts you know you’ll need to restock at the first of every month.

Step 2: Adding Parts

When you are on a product page for a part you order frequently, look for the "Add to Shared Cart" button.

• You can select an existing list or create a new one (e.g., "Southside High School Dishwasher Parts").
• Pro Tip: Don't forget to check for the OCM equivalent while you're there. Saving the OCM version to your list ensures you get the best price and highest availability every time you re-order.

Step 3: The Quick Order

When it’s time to restock, you don’t need to search by SKU, part number, or model number .

1. Log in to your account at AllPointsFPS.com.
2. Navigate to "My Account" and select "Quick Orders."
3. Select the parts you want to re-order, and then click "Add selected to cart."
4. Checkout.

How This Helps Parts Purchasers

• Eliminate Errors: You don't have to worry about typos in a part number or ordering the wrong voltage because you were in a rush. The "vetted" part is already in your list.
• Onboarding Help: If you have a new assistant or junior buyer, you can share these lists to ensure they are ordering exactly what the technicians expect.
• Speed: By cutting out the search phase, you can handle a higher volume of orders without increasing your workload.
