Care Home Supplier Directory

Free Supplier Listings

Recently we have been working on a new section for our website which we feel will integrate nicely and is relevant to our sector and will provide our visitors with a useful service.

The service provides free listings for providers of services and products in the care sector so they can connect with care and nursing home owners. You can find the sign up form for this service by following this link.

Service Features

Our initial version provides all the base functionality we feel is needed for the service and we have plans for future versions to add even more functionality to the system.

Signup is free to all businesses and once you login to our panel you can create the content for your new listing and also upload your companies logo (1Mb in size).

You can add your social media links, email address, telephone, fax and more we currently support Google+, Facebook and Twitter.


Screen Shots

Below are some screen shot of the service the first one is the listing editor located in the supplier control panel. This allows users to add content to their page and manage their logo image. Our editor is similar to an office document editor and is simple to use.

The main listings page is shown in the below screenshot this is the homepage for the supplier directory and it lists the current suppliers. We plan on adding some promotional areas to the layout of this page at a future date.

Final screen shot is the actual listing page for the supplier, we allow a single supplier per single account. Each single supplier gets a listing page which they can edit using the online editor via their browser.

Feedback

All user feed back is appreciated and we would welcome working with a supplier to improve the service even more. If you would like to send feedback or participate in improving your listing please contact us using this form and we will email you back. You could also contact me using Google+.

Conclusion

With the release of our new service we hope to connect care and nursing homes with suppliers who can provide them with quality services and/or products.

As with all software this will be an iterative development cycle trying to add specific features one at a time. We hope to build a great service for our visitors.
