McLane Grocery Ordering

Overview

McLane Grocery Ordering allows stores to order products from the McLane company.

Users can retrieve product lists for multiple stores and order product for each store. Use of an external scanner (Socket Scan CHS Series) allows the user to quickly production.  

Getting Started

When the application first launches, the user must choose a type of authentication to use. The choices are using a Device Identification Number (DIN) or User Id and password.

Once the choice has been made, the user will be presented with the appropriate login page and will need to enter the correct DIN or McLane user id and password.

If you do not have a DIN or user id, you can self-resister by clicking the New User Register button and provide your name, phone, company name and an optional email address.

Once the registration process is complete, you will be prompted to enter a 4-digit DIN or PIN to be used when accessing the application and communicating with McLane Company. If your password or PIN is forgotten, you may call the help desk to reset your password. McLane will not supply forgotten passwords.
