Hotpoint Joins Forces with EQ Software

Hotpoint, one of the UK’s favourite brands, has joined forces with EQ Software to make their full kitchen appliance product portfolio available electronically to EQ’s strong database of 6,000 users.

EQ Software is the market leader in supplying business management software and eCommerce websites to the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry. Originally developed as Easyquote in 2000, EQ Software is now used by one in three KBB retailers.

The key to all solutions for the retailer is accurate pricing catalogue data, which is why EQ Software continually manages and enhances the largest library of accurate KBB supplier data in the UK.

Products such as the Hotpoint Class 9 built-in collection of cooking appliances, which matches a modern state-of-the-art aesthetic with clean lines and a refined appearance, are available to the retailer through EQ Software.

Jennifer Taylor, Senior Brand Manager, Hotpoint says: “EQ Software is a great asset and provides additional support for retailers. EQ Software makes it easier for retailers  to provide accurate quotations and generate orders quickly, including product images and specifications, helping them to run their businesses more profitably and efficiently.”

Leigh Martin, Managing Director, EQ Software says: “We are delighted to bring on board a leading manufacturer like Hotpoint. EQ plays a vital role in supporting Hotpoint retailers with accurate pricing and product information, in addition to opening up new brand opportunities for more retailers.”
