Yes. You can register as a purchaser on “Wer liefert was” under “Purchaser registration” and use functions such as “Notepad” and “Saved searches” to manage your suppliers. This makes your own supplier management easier. The tool is provided to you free of charge by “Wer liefert was”.

All companies on the search results page have links. Simply click on the company name. On the following page, you will find plenty of further information about that company. If you click on the “To the website” link, you will be taken directly to its homepage.

The numbers indicate how many service providers, manufacturers, wholesalers and dealers are entered in the respective category. Please note: the total number of providers on the search results page is usually lower than the sum of the numbers in brackets. This is because many companies are manufacturers and dealers at the same time, for example.

The supplier type is displayed for each individual company. This type is indicated by certain icons in the company profile, e.g. a truck = wholesaler. In addition, you can specifically limit the results and therefore the number of companies of a particular supplier type.

When you enter a search term, our intelligent search facility compares it both with the designations for the existing categories and with the terms that are linked to these. A category is linked to as many as 25 search words. These include, for example, synonyms, abbreviations and words with a similar meaning. You may therefore see a search results page, even though the search term itself does not appear on it.
Example: you enter “chopper” and categories that include “helicopter” are displayed.

If you already know exactly which product or service you require, you can start your search with a specific term such as “concrete screws”. If, however, you would first like to gain an overview of the various types of screws available, it is best to start with a general term.

Our tip: You will get more hits by using wildcards. Simply insert an asterisk or a space at the end or in the middle of a word. With “Screws*”, the hits page shows all results from “anchor screws” to “zinc plated screws”.

Yes, if your terms are entered in succession with spaces, you will see hits with all of the words you are looking for. But we recommend not entering too many terms in combination

First check your spelling of the search term. Try to repeat your search with a different keyword. Or formulate your search entry in the plural. Check whether you have also clicked on the “Provider” button in the search box if you are looking for a specific company or quotation – or “Products” if you are looking for a specific product.
If you still do not get any hits, get in touch with us by sending an email to info@wlw.de. We are happy to help.
