Add configuration value for your customers without adding overhead to your business
With customers demanding great service and fast turnaround on technology deployment, you need to respond quickly on every order regardless of its size.
And when your business model is designed to integrate technology and add value, the challenge is clear: how do you resource for growth and high volume opportunities without adding up front cost? And if you don't invest, how will you ever be ready for more business without scrambling to meet commitments?
Add service without adding overhead
Tech Data has made the investment for you. With 160 benches and over 45 technicians on staff working multiple shifts, Tech Data Canada has built the largest integration centre of its kind in the Canadian channel. And that translates into greater power for you to leverage for your customers!
React quickly to customer needs
Whether you're selling to one of your small business accounts or to a large corporation or enterprise, you need to react quickly to their individual requirements. Tech Data's ability to supply and stage inventory, configure the product, and ship to you – or an end user directly under our private label program – can help you manage a specific customer install date and potentially save days off delivery time.
We offer fast standard order turnaround as well as a rush order program, so you can deliver customized, user-ready products to your customers without missing a beat.
High volume capabilities
The facility's bench capacity can accommodate up to 360 desktops/laptops or 270 servers at any time, which can equate to a throughput capability of over a thousand units a day. From small projects to multi-destination roll-outs, we can help you secure opportunities and deliver results.
Full range of services
Tech Data's ISO 9001:2000 Registered integration centre features Gigabit Ethernet at each bench, KVM switching control at twenty-five stations, and several new servers to manage image uploads and back-up capabilities. Plus, you can make arrangements to utilize our resources for pre-testing or pre-project development.
