Where are your customers buying?
By Howard Grobstein

There has been a lot of talk in the Industry about e-commerce capabilities and competing against Amazon and their eShopping Cart.

Consider this: Some Distributors are saying only 3 to 5% of their revenue comes from shopping cart type e-commerce solutions.

Distributors have said that upwards of 50% of their revenue comes from these types of software estimating programs for project bids.

With Track Lighting, It’s All About the Accessories
Chuck Ross

Few lighting-fixture styles offer as much flexibility as track lighting – once the track, itself, is installed, fixture heads can be clicked into place wherever they’re needed – and repositioned just as easily as room configurations change. And, as room styles change, the heads themselves can be replaced with newer models, giving designers and owners options recessed luminaires can never offer.





Datacom: Tools and Meters


What do rubies, sapphires, and carbide have to do with each other? All are types of scoring blades for fiber optic conductors, that's what. If you've done any fiber work, you know how delicate the cables can be.

That's why special tools have been developed just for installing fiber optic circuits. Fiber is a highly efficient way of carrying massive amounts of data in both commercial and now residential installations.
