HBSDealer’s digital issue is live

Now available in HBSDealer’s digital-edition library, the June issue (volume 49, no. 6) brings attention to technology. 

Tools to build store traffic, workforce support, customer centricity—it’s all included in the special report with some of the biggest names in the business. Included are reports from The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Builders FirstSource and more. Plus Five steps to boost your business’ tech performance.

“Across the industry, new tools are making inroads on business,” begins the article. And among the Five steps building supply dealers can take to improve their tech is this concept from Brad Cumiskey, vice president of product at TOOLBX: “In an increasingly digital world, offering online purchasing options is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury.”

Complementing the cover story is a special report that examines Fort Wayne, Indiana-based Do it Best’s effort to build a better path to purchase with an ambitious plan for omni-channel upgrade.

Also in the June issue:

• Independent Profile: Krogen’s celebrates 90 years in Wisconsin.
• Orgill CEO Boyden Moore offers a distribution update from Memphis and beyond.
• Top Women in Hardware & Building Supply features Katrina Ralston of Feeney.
