The problem

AV product data is everywhere.

Every manufacturer sends price lists in its own format. Distributors keep their own.

Integrators retype it all into proposals and D-Tools.

The fix

One hub for industry data.

Manufacturers send their data once.

Everyone who needs it gets it current.

Who's in it

The whole channel, in one place.

Each member connects to the hub, and through it to everyone else.

What's in it

Five levels of data.

Start free with Budget.

Each level includes everything below it.
