Q. How do I use Email Tracking?.
A. Email tracking alerts you when the status of important orders has changed.
You will receive and automatic email whenever and order has been:
- Received by our warehouse (or not received and the reason why)
- Planned for delivery with an expected delivery date
- Booked in with the customer (or details of the refusal)
- Confirmed for delivery (Warehouse are instructed to load the vehicle)
- Delivered (or not delivered and details why)
- POD Scanned
To activate Email Tracking you must add the order you your My
Orders screen, this is done by viewing the order details and then
scrolling to the bottom of the screen. Once the order is on your My
Orders screen you will notice an envelope
next to the order. Click on this envelope and will be asked to confirm the
email address you want notifications to be sent to. Once you have clicked
'Activate' you will be returned to your My Orders screen
and the envelope will have turned green .If you want to Cancel Email tracking, click the green envelope and
on the confirmation screen click 'Cancel'. The envelope will now return to
yellow .
Q. When I try and log-in, I get told 'Access Denied'.
A. The most common answer is you have CAPS LOCK on. Your username and
password are case sensitive. If you still get this problem, double check
you have
entered the correct username and password. You may also get this message if
your account has not yet been activated, if this is the case, please refer
to the email containing your account details
Q. I am expecting an order to be delivered to me but it is in storage. What
does this mean?
A. An order goes into storage when we have tried to deliver it and it
has been refused, cancelled or if specifically requested by a customer.
An order will normally
stay in storage until we receive notification to re-deliver it, re-allocate
it etc. This can be done by viewing the order and filling out an Order Query
form.
Q. I cannot find an order I am looking for, how do I know if you have received
it?
A. Every order we receive is put onto our tracking system, the information
on HomeTr@k is exactly the same as we use at Fields Delivery Co. Please read the 'How
To Search' section for the best way to find your order.
Q. What does 'Prioritize an Order' actually do?
A. If you prioritize an order, our load planning department, responsible
for organizing and routing deliveries is notified on screen that this order
is needed ASAP, the order remains highlighted until it is planned. They
will then make sure they add that order to the next load planned for that
area.
The order is then added to My Orders so you
can quickly monitor it's
status. Please note only live deliveries can be prioritized.
Q. Why are there so many live collections?
A. When a manufacturer sends us a collection note, we immediately add
it to our system. It is normal practice for Fields Delivery Co to collect, only when
delivering to the same store, and only if the collection is available.
If you have a particularly urgent collection, please notify us and we will
organize a collection asap.
Q. What does the Recent Orders screen display?
A. The recent orders screen shows you all the orders we have collected or
delivered during the past month.
Q. Why can't I see anything on the stock screen?
A. The stock screen displays the details of items
we hold in stock for you. Stock items are items we hold in bulk until we
received distribution instructions
from manufacturer or retailer. If you cannot see any stock but you think
we hold stock for you, please contact customer
services.
Q. Why can't I see the POD?
A. Once an order is delivered, it can take up to 2 days before the POD
is scanned onto HomeTr@k. If it is more than 2 days since the order was
delivered,
please fill out an order query and we will investigate why. If the order
was a bulk delivery of stock, you will not see a POD, instead there will
be an entry onto the stock history as proof of receipt.
Q. I have placed a stock order using HomeTr@k but the stock level hasn't
been updated, why is this?
A. When you place a stock order on HomeTr@k, it goes into a holding area so
it can be checked by our warehouse. As soon as the order has been reviewed,
you will be notified via email. At this point, the order has been accepted
and the stock levels and stock history are updated. If a stock order has
been refused, you will be notified of the reason given via email.
Q. I have a reference number that begins with PEG_xxxxx, what does this
mean?
A. This is a unique number that we give to orders if we haven't been
give a reference number by the manufacturer, If you wish to update us with
the correct reference number, please fill out an order query form.
Q. What is the best screen resolution for viewing this web site?
A. 1024 x 768 is the minimum resolution recommended for this web site.
however you will be able to view most of the web site with a resolution
of 800 x 600.
Q. Sometimes the POD has a different delivery date that the history, which
one is correct?
A. There are a number of reasons for this,
- The POD has been dated incorrectly.
- If a vehicle is doing a delivery over 2.
- You may be looking at the date we write on the POD when booking in.
Q. I want to create a new stock order but the store i want to send it to
isn't on the list?
A. Recently opened stores may not automatically appear in your branch list.
Please email customer
services with the details and they will be happy to
help.

How
To?
If you are having trouble using HomeTr@k, you may find the answer in the
sections below:-
How to search.
If you want to know the status of a particular order, you can search
in a number of different ways, depending on the information you have.
The simplest search is by reference number. A reference number can be either
the manufacturers or the retailers order number. Click on Search and
enter order number. If you do not know the whole number, you can enter
just the first few digits and you will see all order beginning with that
number, i.e. entering 9012 will find orders 90121, 90122, 90123 etc. The
search looks at ALL the reference numbers we have, so if you enter the
number 123 you will see any order with manufacturers ref 123 or retailer
PO 123.
If you want to search for an order using the container number, go to the container
schedule screen. You will see all containers received in the past month
and any containers due into us. If you want to narrow down the list, or the
container you are looking for came in more than 1 month ago, enter the all
or part of the container number in the box at the bottom of the screen. It
is often better to enter a smaller number of letters in here i.e. TTNU rather
than TTNU 32456.8. If you find the container, click on it to see all the orders.
If you are not sure of the container number or the reference numbers, but do
know the delivery address, you can use the live
deliveries, recent and storage status
screens. If you want to narrow down the list on these screens, enter all or
part of the store name and city and click refresh.
If you cannot find the order using the methods below, it is more than likely
that we haven't yet received that order, if you are sure we have received
this order, please contact us on 0845 873 1350, or alternatively, contact the
manufacturer or sales agent that you placed the order with.
How to query an order / Get an estimated delivery date.
If you have any questions about an order that cannot be answered by
looking at the history, please fill out an order query form. The request
is immediately sent to our customer services team who will reply to you
as soon as they have the answer you need. It should be noted that when
a delivery is planned, HomeTr@k is updated instantly so we all have the
same information. If a planned or booked in date isn't shown on HomeTr@k,
this order has not yet been planned for delivery.
The best method for ensuring a quick delivery date is to Prioritize the
order, this immediately instructs our planning team that you have chased
the order
and are monitoring it from your 'My Orders' screen. You can of
course always contact our customer services on 0845 873 1350.
How to place a stock order.
If you hold stock at Fields Delivery Co and have the ability to place stock orders,
please follow the steps below:-
- Go to the stock screen and click the + next
to the product you want to allocate.
- You will see an on-screen form, please check the 'Product Description' has
the correct item in it.
- Enter the quantity you want to allocate.
- Select the delivery address from the list. (It should appear highlighted)
- Enter your reference number(s) in the boxes provided.
- Check you email address is correct
- Click Place Order.

then ask you to confirm the order. Click Confirm Order
- You have successfully placed the order, it will appear on your 'My
Stock Orders' screen. ALL Stock orders are double checked
by Fields Delivery Co to make sure all the details look correct, as soon as the
order has been checked, you will be notified by email.
How to use the order query list.
The order query list is a constantly changing list of specific order
queries. Adding an order to this list advises Fields Delivery Co that you may have
specific
concerns or require additional information about an order. Once an order
has been added to the list, you can add your own notes/questions allowing
you to keep track of what has happened to this order. Every note you add
to the order is recorded with the date and time, as are our responses.
The query list is controlled solely by you, Fields Delivery Co will not interfere
with your list, even if the order has been delivered or the query satisfied,
and we therefore ask that you keep the list up-to-date by removing any
order queries that have been dealt with.
- Add an order to the query list by searching for it, viewing its details
and clicking 'Add to query list' at the bottom of the screen
- View your query list, found under 'My HomeTr@k' at the top of the screen
- Add a comment to an order by clicking the
