IDEA OrdrTrak℠ is Transforming Communication Between Manufacturers, Reps, Distributors & Contractors in the Electrical Sales Channel
In the fast-paced electrical sales industry, questions like “When will my order ship?”, “Has it shipped yet?”, and “Can I get a tracking number?” are asked daily by contractors, distributors, and manufacturer reps. With IDEA OrdrTrak℠, these frustrations are fading. This platform connects the entire electrical sales channel, enhancing efficiency and value. Manufacturers like Acuity Brands, Cree Lighting, FSC Lighting, ILLUMUS (powered by GREEN CREATIVE and ILP), Linmore LED, RAB Lighting, Signify, and SLG Lighting are already using OrdrTrak to save their channel partners time and money.
Streamlining Information Exchange
The smooth exchange of information is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Delays in communication or inaccuracies in data can have a ripple effect, leading to missed opportunities and lost revenue. OrdrTrak addresses these challenges head-on by providing a universal platform for information exchange.
When OrdrTrak first launched, it offered only order status updates. Now, manufacturers can share order status, inventory, and pricing details all through one intuitive platform. You can track stock and project purchase orders, check inventory across multiple locations, and even view your local representative's stock for all the manufacturers you work with.
Seamless Integration with Business Systems
OrdrTrak also integrates with existing business systems, including ERP systems like Eclipse, Salesforce, SAP, and TTS. These integrations centralize data, streamline processes, and boost productivity by reducing manual data entry and ensuring consistent, accurate information across departments.
Data Analytics and Pipeline Sharing
The platform also integrates with third-party apps without the inconvenience of managing extra usernames and passwords. One such app, PICKAXE™, provides agencies with enhanced business analytics by connecting to their management software. This integration also facilitates the sharing of real-time pipeline data with manufacturers, helping to reduce lead times by offering insights into upcoming orders. Manufacturers, who have long sought visibility into pipeline data, can now access it from one centralized location via a single, secure API connection.
Connecting is Easy
The OrdrTrak team is committed to ensuring a quick and efficient setup process for all users. For manufacturers, we'll collaborate with your team to establish a secure API connection, allowing you to start sharing your data with your partners in as little as a week. For representatives, distributors, and contractors, onboarding is even simpler. You'll receive your login credentials promptly, enabling you to begin checking orders and accessing critical information within 24 hours.
