Online shopping for engineering consumables
Fourth Quarter 2022
News & events
BMG’s online shopping portal, which was launched in South Africa two years; ago, is constantly upgraded to meet dynamic market requirements. “The BMG E-Commerce platform – which was developed to enhance the convenience for customers to procure engineering consumables – is gaining popularity at a time that our country faces rising fuel costs and consumers are reluctant to use their motor vehicles,” explains Darryn Wright, group marketing executive, Engineering Solutions Group (ESG), part of Invicta Holdings. “Feedback from our customers indicates that in spite of Covid-19 restrictions being lifted, the ease of buying industrial products from the comfort of their homes and offices, without having to drive or wait in a queue, is an important advantage. Although our online delivery service saves fuel, money and time, digital shopping does not detract from the technical support and personal service offered by the BMG team.”
The online portal, which is benchmarked on international best practice, is efficient, user-friendly and customer-centric. BMG Online is an easy-to-navigate platform, that enables 24-hour browsing and ordering. Over 75 000 BMG products are available on this platform, including bearings, seals, fasteners and power transmission components. Hand and power tools, abrasives, brushware, spanners, wrenches, and sockets are also available. Added to this are agricultural-specific components, including PTO shafts. BMG constantly adds more products to this electronic platform, to meet market demand.
BMG Online offers many benefits, including easy product browsing, selection and ordering; click and collect from the nearest branch; swift delivery for existing customers; and a fair returns policy.
