Benefitting the Supply Chain
For manufacturers, the program introduces a unique marketing and training avenue that reaches jobbers and retailers who may not know about their products. It means less travel and broader reach. Most importantly, it guarantees instant access to new product releases, technical bulletins, news, and sales promotions. For jobbers, retailers, and installers, it’s one-stop shopping – product information from multiple manufacturers in one place, always accessible, organized and delivered in a way that markets and educates at the same time.
