BUSINESS UPDATES
Spring
Business is brisk as we enter May! While that’s great news, it’s important to still consider the supply chain challenges. Pipe and fittings are still on allocation from manufacturers with no end in sight. The myriad of price changes is unprecedented. Delays in shipping continue and lost product in transit is becoming commonplace.
 
Please make sure you are using current pricing when quoting upcoming projects. When you win these projects, let us know with as much advance notice as possible. Our goal is to provide the best possible service in the current environment. Any extra time you can give us to navigate the challenges and have the product ready when you need it is appreciated.
 
Have a great spring!!!

ARMADA PRO900: OLD SCHOOL MEETS 2021
Armada Technologies has recently added a QR Code to the Pro900 Digital Locator. The new QR Code is conveniently located inside the case on the left-hand side. If you are not familiar with these, simply take out your smartphone and line up the code on the picture or photo screen. It’s not necessary to actually take the picture since when it is focused, a link will appear on the screen. For some Android phones, this will come in the form of a small, yellow circle copy of the QR Code. If you click on the link or the circle, it will take you, or better yet your client, right to a 6-minute overview of the Pro900. This video explains the Pro900 in an efficient and easy-to-understand way. At 6 minutes, the video is not a boring commercial but is rather a quick way to understand what the heck it can do for a contractor. A picture is worth a 1000 words!
