Hi and welcome to Partsquip. For the past 20 years or so we have been, in one form or another, Importers' Agents in NZ for the equipment industry. In that time we have seen many changes from businesses going broke to businesses booming. The biggest thing and the most guaranteed thing to happen is change and the same thing goes for today’s business. Whether it be climate, economic, staff, brands or locations change is going to happen. As business people we have to embrace change or where is our business?

The cost of marketing, advertising and the printed page is increasing all the time, yet the readership of printed material is falling as the new generation of Online purchasers evolves. People TXT rather than phone, they look at the Internet for the latest news rather than waiting for the 6-o’clock TV broadcast and they either purchase, or at least locate, the goods they want Online rather than spending hours or even days looking around in shops.
The Internet is the tool we can all use for the betterment of our business – and by doing so we are future-proofing ourselves and our businesses. Today it's not about working harder to achieve better results, it's all about working smarter. Using the Web as a business tool just makes good sense. We are future-proofing but we’re also opening our business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without actually having to be there. We can talk to and make our stock available to a vastly increased audience – not just Nationally but Internationally as well.
