What is Value-Added Distribution?
A value-added distributor (VAD) is a type of distributor that adds value to the products they distribute through various services such as technical support, training, marketing, and customization. The goal of a VAD is to provide more comprehensive and personalized solutions to customers, beyond just selling products.
VADs typically specialize in a specific product or technology area, and they have a deep understanding of the products they distribute, as well as the market and industry trends. They work closely with vendors to develop and deliver customized solutions to customers, often combining different products and technologies to meet specific needs.

(But we do that very well!)
In addition to providing technical support and training, VADs may also offer services such as pre-sales support, post-sales support, integration services, and consulting. By offering these additional services, VADs can help customers achieve their goals more effectively and efficiently.
Overall, a value-added distributor is a partner that adds value to the products they distribute, providing customers with more comprehensive and tailored solutions to meet their specific needs.
