Where are your customers buying?
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. When architects and engineers are designing and building large structures, more than likely the contractors are using estimating software programs to bid on the projects. Distributors have said that upwards of 50% of their revenue comes from these types of software estimating programs for project bids.
As an example: A contractor probably will not enter 2000 or so items in a shopping cart e-commerce solution from a bid they are working on for a multi-story hotel complex. They will look to use one of the estimating software programs. These programs are becoming more and more sophisticated.
