FAQ: THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS

As a classic B2B company, HAHN+KOLB aims the sale of its products exclusively at trade customers. This is therefore the basic requirement to be able to register in the online shop.

The registration process depends on whether you already have a customer number at HAHN+KOLB. If you do, please use our registration form for existing customers. If you do not have a customer number with us, please use the form for new customers.

Do you not yet have a customer number at HAHN+KOLB? Then please use our form for new customer registration.

Are you already a customer of HAHN+KOLB and have a customer number? Then please use the form for existing customer registration.

Registering in our online shop provides you with a wide range of options:

Among other things, you can order from HAHN+KOLB 24 hours a day, you can see your individual price for each article in the online shop and you will have access to a comprehensive range of functions within your customer account (budget settings, approval workflow etc.), which can be set up according to your individual needs.

You can find more information about the online shop and our e-business solutions on our overview page.

We will try to complete your registration as quickly as possible.

However, as we need to check your registration manually for both your security and ours, it may take a short time to confirm your account.

After you have completed the registration in our online shop, your details will be checked manually. You will then receive the details to access the online shop via email. As soon as you have received your access details from us, you can log into the online shop and make purchases.

To do this, go to the "Settings" area under "MY ACCOUNT" and then choose the "Basic settings" section. You can now change your password in the "login credentials" section.

Please enter your customer and partner number and select "Forgotten your password?". The stored email address will then receive an automated email that contains a link to assign a new password.

If you have forgotten your access details, you can contact our online shop support (tel.: +49 (0) 7141 498-5050 / email: onlineshop@hahn-kolb.de / Monday to Thursday from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm, Friday from 7.30 am to 3.30 pm).

The partner number is available only from the online shop support. Please contact our colleagues: tel.: +49 (0) 7141 498-5050 / email: onlineshop@hahn-kolb.de (Monday to Thursday from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm, Friday from 7.30 am to 3.30 pm).

Easier, faster and better to remember: From now on, you can optionally use a user name for your login instead of the customer and partner number.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to "settings" under "my account".
2. Click on "Access data".
3. Select a user name, for example your e-mail address.
4. Click on "Save".

Only the administrator in the customer account can make this change. To do this, go to the "Settings" area under "MY ACCOUNT" and then choose "User administration". You can now create a new user. To do this, fill in the appropriate form in full.

This involves changing the master data, which can only be done by HAHN+KOLB. Please inform your personal contact about the change you wish to make. The contact details for your personal contact can be found under "MY ACCOUNT".

There are several ways to do this. The correct option depends on for whom it is you wish to make the change. Please follow the steps below as needed:

1.) Creating a personal delivery address:
My settings → Delivery addresses → Create new address → Save
Presetting delivery address*: My settings → Basic settings → General settings → Activate the "Preselect standard user address as delivery address" field

2.) Creating a delivery address for all online shop users in the company:
As an administrator, you can also add delivery addresses of other users for your company to your personal delivery addresses. To do this, follow these steps:
Customer settings → Delivery addresses → Create new address → Save

3.) Creating a delivery address for individual online shop users:
User administration → Select action → Delivery addresses → Create new address → Save
Presetting delivery address*: User administration → Select action (with actual user) → Basic settings → General settings → Activate the "Preselect standard user address as delivery address" field

* "Presetting" an address is the definition of a default address within a user account. Your orders will therefore always be sent to this address. This means that a user cannot make any selection in the order process (despite any additional addresses created); only this address will be available for selection.

If you are the administrator of your customer account, you can make this change via your "Settings" in the "Order parameters" section. If you do not have administrator rights, you can contact our online shop support (tel.: +49 (0) 7141 498-5050 / email: onlineshop@hahn-kolb.de / Monday to Thursday from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm, Friday from 7.30 am to 3.30 pm).

To create new cost units, you must have been saved as administrator of your customer account. Under "My settings", you will find the "Cost units" area. Here you can create a new cost unit by specifying a name/description.

The cost centre is then assigned to a user. To do this, please go to the user administration area and follow the steps listed below:
User administration → Select action (with actual user) → Cost unit → Activate cost unit at order level and/or cost unit at item level → Select account assignment form → Save

To be able to save a budget, you must be the administrator of your company's customer account. In "MY ACCOUNT", go to "Settings" and select the "My settings" section. Here you will find the "Budget" section. Please enter the appropriate values and save the changes.

As an administrator, you can set the budget for the entire company or for individual users. Please follow the appropriate steps as needed:

1.) Budget for the entire company:
MY ACCOUNT → Settings → Company settings → Budget → Enter values → Save

2.) Budget for specific users:
MY ACCOUNT → Settings → User administration → User administration → Select action (with actual user) → Budget → Enter values → Save

To set order value limits, you must have administrator rights for your customer account. In "My ACCOUNT", go to "Settings", "My settings" and select "order / approval settings". You will find the "Order value limits" section here. In the next step, you can enter and save the appropriate values.

There are two different procedures, depending on requirements. Please select the variant that fits your needs and follow the appropriate steps:

1.) Order value limits for the entire company:
MY ACCOUNT → Settings → Company settings → order / approval settings → Order value limits → Enter values → Save

2.) Order value limits for specific users:
MY ACCOUNT → Settings → User administration → User administration → Select action (with actual user) → order / approval settings → Enter values → Save

As an administrator, you can store an approval process in the "Settings" of your customer account in the "User administration" area. Please select "User administration". You can then select the "order / approval settings" action directly from the respective user. Under "Approval process", you can now specify an approver from the drop-down menu. Please save your changes when finished.

Order templates can be used by only one user ("separate order template") or by several users ("shared order template") of the same customer account.

1.) Create a separate order template:
You have the option of creating an order template or generating an order template from a file. To do this, select the "Functions" section of "MY ACCOUNT". In the "Order templates" section, you can now create an order template or generate one from a file.

2.) Create a shared order template:
To do this, also select "MY ACCOUNT", "Functions" and "Order templates". You can now fill in the "Name" and/or "Description" fields under "Create order template". Please save these details.
In the next step, you can save the articles and the respective quantities. Finally, you have the option of converting the template into a shared order template.

You can design the favourites list as well as the order template according to your individual wishes and requirements. You can create an order template from the product details page or the shopping basket, for example. You can fill in your favourites list using the corresponding function on the product details pages. The key difference is that you can share an order template with other users of the same customer account. A favourites list remains unique to each user and cannot be changed by other users within the same customer account.

In both templates, you can add individual products or the entire list directly to the shopping basket.

Products that you have ordered several times in the past from HAHN+KOLB are grouped and saved for you in a separate area. You can find this overview under "Functions" on the "Top Products" tab.

You can view your invoices and credit notes from the last six months after logging in under "MY ACCOUNT" in the "Settings" area. Here you then select the category "My office" and then "Invoices".

Here you can now view either only the open invoices, or all positions of the last six months. In addition, you can display the provided overview or open, save and print individual invoices as PDF.

With 120,000 different products, HAHN+KOLB offers you a comprehensive selection of high-quality tools, ranging from machining tools and general tools to workshop equipment and machine tools. Among these, you will also find more than 35,000 products from our ATORN brand!

Yes, all catalogues are also available in digital form as a flip catalogue! Intelligent links mean that you can access the online shop directly from the product in the flip catalogue in just a few clicks.

Yes, you can order all products from the catalogue in the HAHN+KOLB online shop, provided that the products are currently available at HAHN+KOLB. The online shop also offers you a wide variety of products that you will not find in the standard catalogue.

If you do not find the product you want in the online shop, please give us a call (tel.: +49 (0) 7141 498-4848 / Monday to Thursday from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm, Friday from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm) or send us an email (email address: bestellung@hahn-kolb.de).

The HAHN+KOLB online shop has a few options to help with this:
Use our extensive filter options, which you can find above the products on many pages. If you already know which article number you would like to order, you can use our quick add-to-basket feature.

Looking for clamping jaws, gloves or safety shoes? Then please use our interactive product finder! The finder will use targeted questions to guide you to the right product for your needs.

Yes, if you do not know our article number for a particular product, you can alternatively enter the 13-digit EAN number in the search field. Please confirm your entry by pressing the Enter key.

Since a search with EAN numbers may overlap with one of our article numbers and therefore it is not completely excluded that you will be redirected to the product with the corresponding number, we would ask you to check the target product before purchasing. For this purpose, you can call up the "Data sheet" in the "Documents" tab. The data sheet contains the EAN number of the product.

To place an order via our online shop, you need to register yourself and your company first. The registration process differs for existing HAHN+KOLB customers that are registering in the online shop for the first time and for those that are not yet HAHN+KOLB customers.

Once you have registered, you will receive your log-in details. You can now log in and conveniently order the articles you need online.

You can view past orders under "MY ACCOUNT" in the "Functions" section. To do this, select the "Orders" section. Alternatively, you can access a comprehensive overview via "Settings", "My office" and "Orders".

Essentially, you can view any promotional article like a regular article. There is only one small difference when ordering: when you enter the article number, you must include the two letters before the article number (e.g.: AB12345678). This relates both to the search bar and the add-to-basket feature.

Yes, this is possible. The articles will be transferred after your registration.

You can enter and redeem a voucher code in the shopping basket.

All purchases via the online shop are made as a purchase on account and invoiced.

Yes, you can store a second email address under "Settings" on the "Order parameters" tab.

An approval workflow is a sequence of steps leading up to ordering from HAHN+KOLB. If an approval workflow is stored, a user's order is not forwarded directly to HAHN+KOLB; first, it goes through the stages defined in advance by your administrator. The selected shopping basket is submitted to an approver in your company for approval. The approver can either approve, modify or reject the order.

Yes, as well as rejecting or approving the shopping basket, the approver is also able to delete or add individual items. The approver can also increase or decrease the selected quantities.

No, you as a customer can no longer process the order from this point. However, you can cancel the order within 15 minutes. The only way to make changes to the order is via the online shop support (tel.: +49 (0) 7141 498-5050 / email: online@hahn-kolb.de).

If you submitted an order but were not logged in at the time, the system will not be able to assign the order and will not submit or process it.
