ABC Supply Redesigns Orlando Showroom
by Jennifer Neighbors
11/11/2009 — The ABC Supply Co. Inc. Solution Center at 1216 W. Amelia St. here, a major supplier of roofing, siding, windows and other select exterior building products for area contractors, has recently been redesigned. It is now a premier destination for product information and selection for contractors and their clients.
The reconfigured Solution Center features an innovative use of a specially designed “wing panel” system that literally puts information at customers’ fingertips. Visitors can quickly understand key features and benefits and make comparisons among different product lines and different manufacturers’ offerings.
The Solution Center also incorporates a storage system that organizes product sample boards so contractors can quickly find and take with them the samples they need to assist their customers with product selection outside the Solution Center.
ABC Supply stores nationwide are being updated with this new design as part of the company’s commitment to providing world-class service, explained store manager Keith Juhant.
“We’ve always offered a wider range of products and services than we have been able to adequately display, and this new Solution Center design system allows us to display a lot of product in a relatively small space,” he said.
“Many of the features of the redesigned Solution Center are the result of feedback from contractors who were looking for better ways to educate themselves, their employees and their customers about the options available to them,” Juhant added.
“Homeowners want to see their options, but many contractors find it’s not feasible to have their own Solution Center,” he explained. “Our Solution Center fills that need. It’s a tool for professionals; a comfortable, welcoming place they can bring their clients. We want our customers to feel our Solution Center is their showroom.”
It also is an educational resource for contractors, helping keep them up-to-date on the latest new products.
Juhant emphasized that the new store design does not change ABC Supply’s basic mission, which focuses exclusively on serving professional contractors. The store will not cater to do-it-yourselfers and will continue to carry the hard-to-find specialty tools and supplies contractors need.
ABC Supply is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing in the United States and one of the nation’s largest distributors of siding, windows and other select exterior building products. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Beloit, Wis., ABC Supply operates more than 360 branches and other facilities in 45 states and the District of Columbia. The company has distinguished itself by following a single, simple guiding principle – take care of contractors better than any other distributor by understanding their businesses and offering products and services carefully selected to meet their unique needs.
