Simplify Your Sourcing with Onliant

By Tracey Gorrell, Marketing Communications Lead

Have you heard about Onliant yet? Have you tried it? Onliant is our all-new online sourcing and order management system, available at onliant.com.

Onliant provides Griffin customers of all types with a single platform from which to source seed, cuttings, young plants, hard goods, production equipment and retail inputs. The site replaces and improves upon Griffin’s separate e-commerce websites: orders.shsgriffin.com, orders.gmgriffin.com and VIA.

Log in to Onliant to place orders against current availability for live goods, or against current inventory from your nearest Griffin branch for hard goods and retail supplies. Onliant enables you to edit open orders and track shipments, and to rebook from order history. Get quick and easy access to open quotes, orders and invoices, too, among other account data.

“Onliant represents a significant advance in horticultural sourcing,” explains Craig Hyslip, Griffin chief operating officer. “The site unites every aspect of our product offering in one convenient, easy-to-use space. It exemplifies of our mission to provide end-to-end solutions to our customers.”

While Onliant has been very well received since its August 2016 launch, we’re always working to make it even better. Our team continues to develop new features and improve functionality, often based on customer feedback. Recent enhancements to Onliant include:

  • Global search by division: Skip the menus and quickly find specific products by keyword
  • Stuff I Order feature:An instant look at the products you’ve ordered most recently; sort by purchase frequency or product name
  • Repeat order function: Easily rebook an order from current or past seasons
  • Ordering template for Live Goods: Export products, fill in desired quantities and upload to create shopping carts for up to 52 weeks at a time
  • Pricing visibility: View pricing on your orders from any Griffin division
