ONLINE EXHIBITOR MANUAL & INFORMATION

Bunnings will provide POS (Point of Sale) and COS (Customer Order System) so you have the ability to transact and sell at all the Trade Expos! We have worked with the Loss Prevention Team to ensure processes for both our suppliers and our team is consistent. Please find the process below and if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your buyer or the Event Team. 

1. Business Rules

  • Supplier stock brought into the Trade Expos is managed in a way that keeps the process simple and minimises stock loss risk for Bunnings and the Supplier
  • Suppliers are responsible for bringing stock to the Trade Expos and for maintaining inventory throughout the Trade Expo
  • Bunnings is responsible for providing the Point-of-Sale (POS) infrastructure, transacting the sales, and securing entry exits to ensure the customer gets what they paid for
  • We would recommend you walk the stock up to the registers, if the customer doesn’t want to finalise the transaction straight away, you can leave it behind the registers with our team with the customers details for them to collect upon leaving the event
  • Prior to the commencement of each Trade Expo, and before Supplier invoices are processed, Bunnings will ensure stock on hand balances are zero for each location


2. Ordering Inventory for a Trade Expo

  • The Bunnings Buyer and supplier agree on ranging/items, item quantities alongside deals for each Trade Expo
  • Each Trade Expo is set up as its own site, please ensure all orders are made with the correct GLN and Event Address – as per the table below
  • An individual PO is raised for each Trade Expo under a “T” prefix with a copy sent to the Buyer or with a “A” prefix if raised by allocation
  • Additional orders and or top up orders may be required for each Trade Expo must follow the same process





3. Receipt Inventory into a Trade Expo
