Welcome to the Oil Consortium Site
About
The site makes it easy to have an on-line presence for the members to request, amend,
track, and record their domestic oil orders. In addition, the group administrator(s) can
see current requests, to coordinate and send requests for quotes to several oil
delivery companies. They also have the ability to add, amend and delete companies
from the list for their area.
Usage
To use this site you must have registered and logged in. During registration you will be asked
to enter your email address, contact phone number (landline or mobile), home address, and any
comments that may be relevant (e.g. 'Must be notified 24 hours before delivery so the tank can
be unlocked').
Upon login you will be able to place a new request with your consortium. This will consist of
the amount required (in litres), whether this is an exact amount or an estimate for top-up,
any additional comments concerning this particular request/delivery. The request will then be
saved and will appear on the list of those on the current main order (only visible to administrators).
However, until such time as the main order goes to tender, you will be able to amend/delete
this request if required.
Administrators
In addition to being able to place and monitor your own requests, upon login you will also have
the option to monitor all those requests awaiting fulfilment. When you decide to start the
ordering process an email will be sent to all those companies you have selected telling them
the total amount required and asking them to quote best price, delivery dates ...
When you choose the best company, a simple click on a button will email the company that they have
been chosen, and all those members whose requests make up this order. (Let me know if you want to
tell all others that they have not been chosen).
