If you've ever quoted a job from an out-of-date price list, or spent your evening re-keying a supplier order into AroFlo by hand, this one's for you.
AroFlo has partnered with Ideal Electrical Suppliers NZ, bringing their online catalogue directly into the platform, giving electrical and HVAC businesses across New Zealand a faster, more accurate way to browse, price and order materials without ever leaving the platform.
What's changed
The integration is delivered as a live punchout catalogue connection — the same proven approach behind AroFlo's existing supplier integrations, including Rexel. In practical terms, that means:
- Live punchout catalogue access. Jump straight from any quote, purchase order or invoice into Ideal Electrical Suppliers' own catalogue, with your dedicated account pricing, full product range, technical info and images — from the office or the field.
- No more manual price files. Product and pricing data stays live on Ideal Electrical Suppliers' side, so you're always working from current information — no downloading, no importing CSVs.
- Purchase orders that build themselves. Once you punchout on Ideal Electrical Suppliers' site, your order flows straight back into AroFlo as a purchase order automatically. No re-keying, no double-handling.
Why it matters
Before now, that meant bouncing between Ideal Electrical Suppliers NZ's portal and AroFlo — checking prices manually, wrestling CSVs, or typing item details in by hand. All of it added up to the same result: errors, outdated quotes, and hours lost to admin.
That gap is exactly what this closes. Businesses that connect their supplier and accounting workflows inside AroFlo consistently see the same result: less time spent on admin, and more accurate numbers on every quote and invoice.
It's the same principle behind results like Sangster Electrical. The NZ electrical contractor cut time-consuming double-handling by running everything, from quote to final invoice, through one system. This integration just extends that same benefit to materials ordering specifically.
For businesses ordering from Ideal Electrical Suppliers specifically, that same principle now extends to materials ordering — live pricing, automatic purchase orders, and accurate costs from quote to invoice.
