Instruction Manual for Distributing Entities in 2024
In the Pro AV industry, equipment distributors play a vital role, but they also offer a range of additional services to support integrators. Here's a look at some of the key players and the value-added services they provide.
ADI Global, one of the leading distributors, integrates services from its acquired brands, notably Herman Integration Services. This service focuses on labor subcontracting for system integration. ADI also supports integrators with warehousing and logistics solutions, increasing their operational efficiency and geographic reach. The company's Digital Branch platform offers educational resources, product tutorials, and account management tools to support customers digitally[1][3].
Broadfield, another distributor, typically offers services such as technical support, project consultation, training, and flexible logistics to complement their distribution operations. While specific details were not found, these services are common among leading AV distributors.
Exertis Almo is known for providing sales support, training programs, and technical support. They often assist integrators with design consultation and workflow optimization, although explicit details are not included.
Full Compass usually extends services such as rental programs, in-house repair and service centers, and training. Starin offers integration services, extended technical support, consultation, training, and customization options. TD SYNNEX provides comprehensive supply chain logistics, financing options, consultation, and training services, while TecNec offers technical support, system design consultation, and managed service options.
The August issue of Systems Contractor News contains top stories for AV integrators, resellers, and consultants, and may contain new information about the Pro AV industry distributors. The Integration Guide to Distribution, available for free download, discusses how these distributors are taking the value-add concept to new levels[1]. The guide is a valuable resource for learning about these distributors' offerings.
The Systems Contractor News newsletter selects the top stories daily and provides updates on the Pro AV industry. It is a potential source of new information about the value-add concept in the Pro AV industry. The newsletter is relevant to AV integrators, resellers, and consultants, but it is not a distributor in the Pro AV industry. A daily newsletter from Systems Contractor News is available for sign-up.
