At ABP Tech we care about doing things right and having an effective system that ensures we are on track.

A few years back we switched to an "all-in-one" ERP platform which gave us a robust platform to develop our own processes. Working as a distributor that also does a lot of customized fulfillment for our partners was somewhat of an IT challenge that could not be served out of the box.

Our first online store was thightly integrated into our platform and enabed fast turn around and state of the art QC and order turnaround but was not as intuitive and friendly as we wished. So we went to work and within the framework of our platform created a new Partnerstore that is integrated into our Partnerportal.

Our goals were to make it fast and easy for partners to find things, provide additional information on products including data sheets and manuals and even videos when possible.

We broke our product lines into three logical groups:

• IP Communications for Voice and Video
• IP Surveillance & Physical Security
• IP Infrastructure & Network Security

As you will notice our partner store shows MSRP and after you sign-in your own pricing. We wanted MSRP to be visible to counter the tradition of the online "Race to the bottom" and give our partners a reference point of where prices should be so resellers can make a sustainable profit for their organiztions. 

You will notice that instead of subcategories opening up a list of new items we made subcategories within a vendor or main category to become filters. That show more items at first and speeds up the search for items. We also added a new concept of co-related items at the bottom of the page that shows what other partners are buying along with what you are looking at to help you remember to get all items needed for your project. 

Last but not least after logging, in partners will also have access to seeing if a product is in stock, out of stock or pending replensishment. (One or two day lead time).

We know our Partnerstore will stay work in progress and want to take a moment to thank all our resller partners for their patience, feedback and continued support.
