Lots of Fortune 500 companies already do their bidding online. Also, the decentralized nature of the HVAC industry precludes the typical contractor from improving his buying power by implementing an Internet strategy. Recognizing these obstacles, Taft created a website service that allows multiple contractors to consolidate similar bills of material to improve their overall purchasing power. By creating these economies of scale, suppliers can concentrate their bidding decisions on larger potential purchases. The website allows contractors and suppliers to coordinate bid deviations and special considerations for each project.
Contractors have the ability to define, in dollars, a preference amount for specific suppliers.
HVAC contractors, like everyone else, will move with the times and eventually come to appreciate the easier approach and broader reach of the World Wide Web. Competition will demand it. This is the wave of the future. For more information Click Here to email Richard Taft.
