Vendor Center chief applauds new alliance

The Vendor Center president Darrell Wabschall said the recently announced alliance with PRO Group Inc. will improve the information flow between retailers, distributors and vendors.

PRO Group vendors will be able to use the secure business-to-business website to allow qualified independent retail members to access a wide range of vendor information including: pricing, catalogs, educational and demonstrational videos, and even order products online with all billing processing via the appropriate PRO Group distributors.

“We are thrilled to be affiliated with the PRO Group and look forward to working with all their distributor members and vendors,” Wabschall said.

PRO Group managing director Shari Kalbach stated: “We are always looking for value-added service providers to offer our distributor members, their retail members and our PRO Group vendors. The Vendor Center represents a powerful tool leveraging today’s technology to effectively connect all stake holders in the supply chain.”

The Vendor Center will be presenting to the group’s distributors and vendors during the 2015 Executive Planning Conference in Palm Desert, California, Nov. 18-20, 2014.
