More about Community of Allen-Bradley Distributors Chooses NxTrend Distribution Software for National Accounts Solution

To better compete for large national accounts, Vanguard National Alliance made a careful analysis of the market and what national customers were looking for from their suppliers. The typical needs of a national customer include single-source purchasing, total cost reduction, level pricing, process improvement, and overall inventory reduction. While VNA was ready to deliver these needs both contractually and operationally, they knew they needed a sound technological backbone for their efforts. The other technology options they explored were not quite ready for such a large undertaking. “NxTrend clearly has the most complete solution for private trading exchanges and national accounts strategies in the industry,” said Pratt. “From the very beginning they demonstrated a deep understanding of the needs of our members, our national customers and electrical distribution.”

NxTrend Distribution Software bizLinx is Proven and Trustworthy
The Vanguard National Alliance turned to NxTrend because of their history of reliable Distribution Software solutions and their particular experience in developing private trading exchanges. NxTrend has successfully developed many private trading exchanges in the distribution industry using its bizLinx solutions and will bring that experience to the Vanguard National Alliance. “We looked at several technology providers,” said Pratt, “but only NxTrend had the proven experience we needed to develop our exchange quickly and efficiently as well as the long-term commitment to private trading exchanges that we were looking for in a partner. They are the clear leader in e-business technology for distribution, and with so much at stake, we knew we could trust NxTrend to deliver.”
