PowerPass App: How to save time in store

Bunnings Trade PowerPass app expert Josh Peppiatt shares how to get the most out of your membership by using the app. The application is free to tradies, builders and relevant businesses, and you can take advantage of exclusive pricing, as well as our team of trade specialists. Read on to discover all the ways the PowerPass app can help you streamline your small business.

Tip #1: Save time with the PowerPass app every time

Register your PowerPass card on the app before you head in store. You only need to register once and then the app will remember the details. It just takes a couple of minutes and means you’re ready to go. Plus, you can add multiple PowerPass cards into the app, then switch between them.

Tip #2: Create job lists and check stock

The list function allows you to build clear product lists within the app, which can then be shared with your team so everyone is on the same page. The PowerPass app also shows if a product is in stock at your preferred location, saving you the trek from store to store to find the item you’re looking for.

Tip #3: Keep digital receipts

Having all of your eReceipts stored in one organised place within the app helps at tax time and saves you having piles of paper to sift through.

Tip #4: Skip the registers

Get this feature going and you’ll unlock the real benefits of your PowerPass membership. Scan items as you pick them up, pay in the app and then just show the receipt to the Team Member at the door. This means you can skip a visit to the registers altogether, saving you on average two minutes for every transaction.

Tip #5: No need to lug heavy items around the store

It’s a regular sight to see tradies taking photos of the barcodes on heavy items and walking them to the trade desk to pay. Avoid this entirely by paying for your items directly in the PowerPass app.

Tip #6: Use the location finder map for quick in store navigation

People often wander the store trying to locate exactly what they need. Instead of walking aimlessly, search for the product in the app, then click ‘View on Map’. The PowerPass app will highlight the exact location of the item you’re searching for. To make it even faster, tap on ‘Show Path’ to give you the fastest route to that bay.

Tip #6: Pick your payment option

You can use multiple payment options in the app, including credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal and ZipPay. When you check out, simply pick the payment method that suits you. Even better, if you save your debit or credit cards in the app, there’s no need to pull out your bank card and enter the details each time, speeding up the payment process. We’ve also introduced two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection.
