ValueAdmin was created for Administrative Professionals. It is the first site to truly cater for all the needs of Admin Staff, to help them do their jobs more efficiently, and provide a sense of community. We cater for admin people in a whole range of industries, locations and job descriptions. We aim to become your home page of choice. The site is personalised for you, and therefore unregistered users only get access to the basic information on the ValueAdmin site as provision of a few personal details really releases the true potential of the site for users. Registered users get content, merchants and productivity tools, all tailored to their specific needs, based on job description, location and Industry. When a registered user clicks on a procurement service to order a product, some information may be passed on to our merchant partner and therefore the user does not have to re-enter details that they have already supplied us. Everything is focussed around efficiency and helping you to do your job more easily Also registered users get the valuable opportunity to become part of a community of like-minded professionals. They can enter our forum and discuss issues relevant to their work and they can also ask ValueAdmin a question that they are having trouble answering. Registered users are eligible to enter our competitions and access specials from our partners. Registering also gives you access to the ValueAdmin Credit System. How do you buy things through ValueAdmin We have conducted extensive research to try and partner with the best service providers and merchants in each of the categories that we thought you wanted quick and efficient access to. Value Admin does not sell products or services to you, but enables you to get "user friendly" access to all the services you need, right from your desktop. The transaction is actually between you and the Partner directly, so if you have any comments, problems, or words of praise, we want to hear about them, as our relationship with you is paramount. You can contact us by email or via our 1300 number. Why do you have Online Partners ValueAdmin has identified leading suppliers across a whole range of supply categories. We have worked with these suppliers to get great deals for our customers and make the online experience as convenient and quick as possible. All of our partners are committed to providing the highest level of quality and service so that using the web through ValueAdmin will be enjoyable, convenient and efficient for you. Remember however, the final transaction is directly between you and the Partner. If you sell goods or services online that would be useful to the admin sector or have any suggestions for new partners or categories then ValueAdmin would like to talk to you. Please send an email to admin@valueadmin.com telling us about your business or suggested Partners and give us a web site to look at. What is the purpose of the Office Tools? ValueAdmin is committed to making your job as an admin professional easier. We believe that one of the key aspects of admin roles is finding and organising information. In order to help you do this more easily, ValueAdmin has brought together a wide range of information sources, tools and resources in one convenient place. Where relevant, the tools have been customised to automatically go to pages that are relevant to you, either by location, job or industry. If you know of other information sources or tools that you think other admin staff using ValueAdmin would get benefit from using, please let us know. Email us on admin@valueadmin.com . What is the ValueAdmin Credit System? ValueAdmin has created a system that lets businesses get credit from a range of quality merchants with one simple application. Our credit application process is simple and the credit approval is done by a trusted third party agency. Once your credit has been approved, you can select the merchants that you want to have accounts with and they will be opened automatically. For more information please go to Credit Application How can I find an article I saw before?
