SSI Stellar Service Awards Honor Suppliers With a Surplus of Service
Manufacturers, distributors and central stations that proved their mettle in challenging times earned SSI Supplier Stellar Service Awards.
As they say, it’s during the difficult and challenging times when you really learn who are your true friends. That has played out the past two years as a multitude of factors have snarled the supply chain in a manner professional security dealers and systems integrators have, fortunately, never before encountered. This landscape makes Security Sales & Integration’s SSI Stellar Service Awards even more meaningful.
Having to sometimes wait months to be able to obtain a product, or more often multiple products, necessary to complete a system installation project has wreaked massive havoc throughout the channel — costing dealers and integrators time, money, sanity and sometimes business.
The good news is this unprecedented situation is showing signs of improvement, but it is a long way from resolving itself and its effects will likely forever change how providers order, stock and plan. Most vendors were caught just as much off-guard by this disturbing predicament.
That left those that maintained stock and consistent deliveries, proved themselves to be especially agile or at least emphasized clear, ongoing communication and transparency throughout the ordeal clearly shining above the rest — and gaining market share from competitors.
Inside the SSI Stellar Service Awards
Recognizing the security industry’s top performing products manufacturers, wholesale distributors and third-party central monitoring stations, the SSI Stellar Service Awards program salutes those companies that set themselves apart from the thousands of providers to deliver the highest levels of service and support to the installing dealer and integrator community.
With voting tabulated from SSI’s readership, the Stellar Service Awards honor suppliers for outstanding efforts across a range of 29 total support/service areas, with 18 winners named. As in the Olympics, for each category achievements were recognized by gold, silver and bronze designations.
The top vote-getters were Alula among manufacturers, with 10 total “medals.” ADI and SS&Si Dealer Network tied atop the distributors list with seven, and COPS captured the most among central stations with six.
