Purchasing – Jane

Posted: May 10, 2012 by Jacci B in Purchasing
Tags: , ,

Hello all, my name is Jane and I work at Discount Ramps in the purchasing department as Jeff’s assistant.  My job is to work with our manufactures to deliver the best quality product to our wonderful Discount Ramps customers.  I also view the purchasing department as having internal customers; these are my co-workers here at DRC.  My job is to work well with them and follow through on their requests of our vendors.  I love working in the purchasing department-every day comes with a new challenge to improve our company internally and externally.  I have never had one day the same as the last and I love the variety.

After finishing my degree in business management, I joined the team at Discount Ramps in May of 2011. I thoroughly love working here and this is truly a team effort; I always feel my opinion matters.  The team of managers that is in place here is a dream team, they are always looking to encourage ideas from their members to help the department grow in the right direction. This company really has no boundaries on growth, which is one of my favorite parts about working here. We truly have no walls to hold us back. We deliver a great quality product to our customers and we continue to grow in an economy that is not. I also enjoy being a part of a company that helps the disabled be more mobile in the world around them with our wheelchair ramps and wheelchair carriers.

Outside of work, I have been married for 22 years and have two wonderful girls ages 16 and 12.  We live on what has become quite a little hobby farm with horses, ducks, cats, rabbits, and of course, what farm would not be complete without a dog to chase everybody around–that is our Lola.  In our free time, we love to see this great country by way of camping with family and friends.  We have been as far east as Maine, as far west as Yellowstone, as far south as Missouri, and as far north as Canada with a lot of great places in between.  We feel the best way to teach our girls about North America is to experience it firsthand.

Hello, my name is Peggy and I am the Customer Service Manager for Discount Ramps.  I have been with the company for almost 8 years, and I have worn many hats over the years.  My current job responsibilities are to work with our customer’s to make sure their experience with Discount Ramps is a positive one. Happy customers = return customers.

The most fulfilling part of my job is being able to help our customers find an item that will possibly improve their quality of life.  We work with a lot of medical or health type situations where wheelchair ramps or lifts are required for our customers.  For some customers, a wheelchair ramp allows them to be able to leave their house and no longer be confined.

My main job responsibility is to help a customer if they are having issues with their purchase.  It could be that the item was damaged in shipping or it is just not compatible with their vehicle or application.  We try to make the return or exchange process as easy as possible for our customers.  Discount Ramps also stands behind the products, so if there is an issue with the quality we take care of it.

I think the best thing about working at Discount Ramps is the team of employees that we have.  It truly is a team effort and all departments work really well together. This is by far the best place where I have been employed.

I joined the team in March of 2004 after being in the printing industry for over 12 years.  I was given the opportunity and ran with it.  When I first started there were only about 7 employees and now we have 40.  We have experienced tremendous growth over the years and are very thankful for it.

Outside of work I enjoy reading, biking, walking and family camping.  We camped a lot as kids growing up but then got out of it.  We are now finding a new appreciation for it. I do not have children of my own, but I do have 2 nephews and 7 nieces and I love spending time with them all.

Discount Ramps very own Big Boy III Trike Ramps were recently featured in Motorcycle Baggers Magazine April 2012 issue!

Thank you for visiting Discount Ramps.Com’s Blog.  My name is Greg and I am the department lead in Shipping and Receiving.  I graduated from MATC-Madison in 2003 with an Associate’s degree in Fire Science.

I started my career with Discount Ramps.Com on a part time basis in 2008 working during the winter when my other job was on hold.  In November 2011, I joined the warehouse team as the lead shipping warehouse member.  I joined the team full time because I know that I can grow as a person and my career with Discount Ramps.  The crew that I work with is an exceptional group of individuals that make this a truly awesome place to work.

As an avid hunter, I enjoy the wide variety of hunting accessories that Discount Ramps.Com sells.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife, Jackie, two sons, Cooper and Camden, and our newest family member, Bentley, who is a yellow lab puppy.  Discount Ramps.Com is a growing company and I am proud to be a part of this exceptional workplace.

Prior to joining Discount Ramps.Com as a web designer, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from UW-Green Bay and am currently finishing up a technical certificate in web design. I joined the Discount Ramps.Com team because it gives me the opportunity to work in a field that I love. One of my greatest influences is my grandmother who was manipulating and coloring photos by hand long before computers and Photoshop were prevalent. When not at work, I enjoy photography, reading, art, working on craft projects, and most importantly spending time with my family.
