1. Updated Look and Feel

​Trade Service Live (TSL) provides a more modern web experience. We removed the side panels so you can view more information on your screen! 

Home Page Comparison

In TSL, we are tidying up the home page! We are highlighting your commonly viewed sections such as Industry News and Copper Pricing chart. By moving the navigation pane to the side, TSL allows for more room to work.

Search Results Comparison

TSL TRA-SER Search Results allows for easy filtering along the left hand side and pagination along the bottom. You also now have the ability to customize the columns that are displayed in the results.

Item Details Comparison

TRA-SER Item Details at its very simplest… utilizes the space on the screen! The rest of the information you need, such as the Specifications, Distributor Pricing and Custom Fields are conveniently tabbed along the bottom. Less scrolling!

2. Enhanced Site Navigation through the "Wheelbarrow"

Just like a wheelbarrow carries materials around the worksite, our Wheelbarrow carries your content around the TSL website! After selecting items through TRA-SER, your items will automatically be added to the Wheelbarrow. From there, you can create a Bill of Material, Request for Quote, Export, QuickBooks or an Item Price Rule.

In the example below, the user has selected 2 items from TRA-SER results. By checking the boxes to the left of the product, the items have been automatically added to the Wheelbarrow. You will see there is now a "2" displayed in the corner of the Wheelbarrow.

By clicking on the Wheelbarrow, a panel will open on the right hand side. Here you will see the items listed out. You have the ability to send your selected items to another part of the website. As indicated in the dropdown, you can choose BOM (Bill of Material), RFQ (Request for Quote) and more!
