Convert to order quickly, easily and independently

Once you have received your quotation from a Hilti Account Manager or Customer Service Representative, you can quickly and easily convert to order through IQC independently.

Only 3 steps to convert quotation to order through IQC.

2. Fill in the required fields

A new webpage will open with the “Quote Go Ahead” form generated.

All you need to fill in are preferred delivery datecustomers’ request (change of delivery address and contact person if necessary) and click “terms and conditions” in your quotation.

3. Click “Place Order”

Your order has now been placed!

You will receive an emailed order confirmation shortly.  Our Hilti Customer Service team will then review your request and update your quotation as necessary.

Besides IQC, We have

Direct EDI Connection

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a direct link between your system and Hilti. It’s particularly useful if you’re a frequent customer.

EDI supports several transactions including Order, OrderResp, ShipNote and Invoice. It’s also available in a range of formats, such as ANSI x12, cXML or SAP iDoc.

Punchout/OCI link to Hilti Website

If you'd like to buy directly from Hilti Online, we can link to your system with Punchout/OCI. This transfers your Hilti shopping cart directly into your procurement system, helping to simplify your purchasing.

Email Ordering

If you prefer ordering via email, we can also speed up your order by converting your email into an automated order.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT HILTI B2B E-PROCUREMENT

Electronically submitting orders reduces errors and speeds up order processing.

“The Rollins and Hilti EDI integration through the Ariba network allowed us to gain significant benefits across the procurement and billing processes. Our custom Hilti eCatalog on Ariba makes it easy for us to browse Hilti’s product portfolio and gain price transparency prior to placing orders. Electronically submitting orders reduces errors and speeds up order processing. EDI order confirmations and advance ship notifications improve our tracking and provide supply chain visibility. Finally, EDI invoice transmitting dramatically reduces the workload for our AP department by eliminating the need for manual processing, reducing reconciliations, saving on paper and helping speed up payment lead time.”

Barbara Peek, Manager of Supplier Relationships, Procurement Services, Rollins Inc.

“eB2B communication is one of the key functions between Hilti and The Home Depot. The ability to submit and receive purchase orders through electronic data interchange eliminates the need for manual order entries, reduces errors, prevents lost POs, and speeds up the overall order processing time and accuracy. The advanced shipping notice alerts The Home Depot stores of the inbound shipment and reduces the number of phone calls made to Hilti regarding delivery details. Electronic invoicing eliminates the need for paper invoices and reduces the payment lead time to Hilti. Well-functioning EDI process results in significant efficiency improvements and cost reduction over time.”
