Hobart Launches ‘Complete Package’ Sales Solution for Dealers

ceda Platinum Partner, Hobart, is set to unveil a dealer exclusive ‘complete package’ sales solution offering a warewasher, delivery, installation and a two-year all-inclusive service plan for less than the published price of a machine on its own.

Helping distributors drive equipment sales into the second half of the business year, the Complete Package offer is available across a selection of the company’s best-selling models on a 24-month interest-free payment plan, allowing end users to spread the cost of ownership and manage cash flow more effectively.

Hobart has created an exclusive online margin calculator, with all relevant information in one place, so dealers can work smarter to build bespoke ‘one stop shop’ quotations, adding in desired discount as required. The package includes class-leading glasswashers, undercounter and hood type models and has been created to offer ultimate simplicity for both dealers and their customers alike.

Crucially, by using a finance plan, dealers can upsell customers to the high spec machine they require, not just the one they think they can afford. As sole lender, Hobart immediately assumes all the risk at the very outset of the deal and approves 99% of all applications, leaving dealers free to chalk up the sale and add it to the bottom line.

Tim Bender, Sales Director, Hobart Equipment Division comments: “We’re in constant dialogue with our distributor partners and when it comes to sales solutions, the call from them is always emphatic, ‘give us simplicity and the right tools to develop new business!’. The Complete Package is a wholly unique proposition that means distributors can quickly and efficiently specify the right package deal for end users, helping them realise their own operational and sustainability ambitions while driving margin.”

Hobart’s Complete Package is exclusive to UK catering equipment distributors. To find out more, visit: www.hobartuk.com/tcp today!

Hobart UK has now aligned its Warewash and Cooking divisions into one single sales and administration known simply as the Hobart Equipment Division. To learn more, visit: www.hobartuk.com or call 0844 888 7777.

Aqua Cure’s iMeter Further Optimised for Espresso Machines

After considered consultation with their customers, Aqua Cure have revised their exclusive Bluetooth / WiFi connected flow meter especially with espresso machines in mind.

The new iMeter mini features a high sensitivity turbine (the wheel which measures the literage passing through the meter) which provides more accuracy in speciality coffee applications. This accuracy is crucial when a single shot of espresso measures around 30ml.

The iMeter provides water volume and filter capacity data to users’ smartphones via Bluetooth and can also send data to cloud based software via WiFi using the optional iHub. This allows users to check remaining filter capacity without ever having to visit site – currently a unique proposition.

The iMeter and iHub can be easily retrofitted to existing filter system installations and is suitable for
all major brands.
