Data is the fuel that powers the digital journey, and the ecosystem, for the electrical, plumbing and HVACR industries. Everyone from distributors, contractors and engineers need data from manufacturers. And whether it is transact…lnkd.in/gUJWQ--x lnkd.in/gHdyGEvf

Last week NAED hosted almost 500 people in Marco Island for the NAED National. If you went with specific goals, you could achieve much. The distributors who attended, which are typically top performing ones, have a "reasonable" outlook for the 2nd half o…lnkd.in/eG2e7M2w

Less than 3 hours left (session starts at 1:00 EDT today!) to our upcoming video for electrical, hvac and plumbing manufacturers and distributors on "Mastering Your Product Data. How to Win in the Product Data Revolution." We'll t…lnkd.in/gjwug-iz lnkd.in/gHdyGEvf

Looking forward to talking "all things digital" at tomorrow's Prokeep webinar to help distributors as they evolve on their digital journey. It's become an alphabet soup of acronyms as the basic concept of an ERP (Enterprise Resour…lnkd.in/gwnn8EpG lnkd.in/gHQ4pCFf

What a difference a year makes! Last year's lighting market was having price increases, supply chain issues and there was growth. This year has seen ... change ... perhaps a return to pre-pandemic activity? What does this mean?…lnkd.in/gscgP7-u lnkd.in/g66nx4zM

For many distributors in the construction trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, building materials) the market is slowing. Billings may be good in some of these segments but there is only so long you can live on backlog. The go-go d…lnkd.in/dQqZpsNZ lnkd.in/dVT_dTEV

The below "promotion" seems coincidental rather than causal. I very much doubt that the sole reason for the growth is eCommerce solutions. These companies have invested into eCommerce but a number have made acquisitions, opened locations, added salespeop…lnkd.in/g-5cPkMW
