Note that at present we cannot setup Ideal NZ OCI.
I have been advised that Ideal NZ is working on a new webstore that will be able to accommodate AroFlo - Ideal NZ OCI.
No Rexel or JRT online catalogue available for NZ clients

What does "You will need to do this every time your browser refreshes." mean?
Does this mean each time your browser does an update? Literally everytime you refresh a page?

That text referred to the fact that the login times out after one day. Within one day, it should not be necessary to re-enter login details. The text has been removed. Thanks for highlighting this.
