How the Bunnings Trade PowerPass App update works

Whether you’re running a big job, working to a tight client deadline or coordinating with other trades, getting the materials and equipment you need, when you need them, matters – a lot.

A new update to the Bunnings Trade PowerPass App is set to streamline online and in store ordering, saving you time and keeping jobs moving smoothly. Here’s how it works and benefits your business.

How does the new upgrade to the Bunnings Trade PowerPass App help your business?

The update to the Bunnings Trade PowerPass App means you can:

• Shop anywhere with the app, either in store or online from site, home or on the move.
• Save time and money by purchasing from site through the app and arranging for delivery.
• Keep digital receipts for online orders and in store purchases in one secure place.
• Keep your cart synchronised between the PowerPass App and the website.
• Build out separate in store and online carts in tandem.

#1: How do I switch between online and in store modes in the Bunnings Trade PowerPass App?

There are now multiple ways to shop when you have the PowerPass App. These are:

• Online mode: A new upgrade to the PowerPass App introduces an online mode which allows you to shop from the app in the same way you’d shop on the Bunnings Trade website. This means you’ll still reap all the usual PowerPass benefits, but without having to leave the jobsite to head in store.
• Tailor your delivery method: You can use the PowerPass App to Click & Collect when you’re on the go or to order materials when you’re onsite and get them delivered. “Within the app you can toggle between the in-store and online modes,” Josh Peppiatt, Senior Product Manager for Bunnings Trade, explains.

#2: How does the new PowerPass App update save me time and money?

Choosing whether to buy what you need through the app online or in store gives you more flexibility to fit purchasing around your workday, saving you time and keeping jobs moving – especially if you're running a business, Josh says. “Instead of having your staff make a 20- or 30-minute round trip to Bunnings, you can get it delivered from the PowerPass App. It cuts down on travel time and wages,” he explains.

#3: Keep digital receipts

Whether you shop online or in store, your receipts and purchasing information are stored in the PowerPass App, helping to make record keeping easier and tax time less stressful. The app also allows you to view your online order history in the app just like on the website. This means no more searching for paper receipts in the back of the van and more time onsite completing jobs. “Having both the online order histories and in store receipts in the app is definitely a big benefit because everything is in one place,” Josh says.

#4: Shop across the PowerPass App and Bunnings Trade website

The new update means PowerPass members can shop online or in store and maintain separate shopping carts in each. “If you add 10 products to online with the intent to get them delivered, and then on the way home from work you stop at Bunnings because you need to get a few packs of screws or a personal item, you can switch to in-store mode and scan those items to purchase them without disrupting your online cart,” Josh explains. You can also add items to your cart on the website and they will appear in the online mode of the app, and vice versa, helping to streamline purchases.

#5: Freedom to shop your way

Being able to synchronise your cart between the PowerPass App and the Bunnings Trade website gives you ease of flexibility. Ever wanted an easy way to scan items into your online cart? No problem. Scan them using the app, and finish the purchase on your computer. Or what about starting an order on the website, getting distracted and wanting to finish it on the train on the way home through the app? Can do. “You can start in one place and finish in another,” Josh says.
