Vancouver, BC (March 25, 2010) -  Raymond Building Supply, headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida has purchased and implemented Progressive Solutions’ bisTrack suite of products for its 6 branch operation located in Southern Florida.

Designated by ProSales Magazine as a Dealer of the Year, Raymond is a company dedicated to quality—they were the first supplier in Florida to attain Home Builders’ Quality Assurance Certification and National Housing Quality Certification.
 
Tyler Banken, Implementation Specialist for Progressive Solutions (PSI), commented on the great fit bisTrack is at Raymond, and how they are taking advantage of the fully featured and flexible solution that bisTrack offers.
 
“Nearly every  branch at Raymond sells different products and operates differently from the other branches.  Raymond manufactures moldings, doors, trusses and rebar so they use bisTrack kits heavily.  They also have a cabinet and appliance branch that makes full use of the Installed Sales module.  Additionally, with their cabinet and appliance branch and their windows, Raymond has many internal and 3rd party installers they support.”

John Matterson, Vice-President of bisTrack for PSI, had this to say, “Raymond sees in bisTrack the intelligence and tools they need to run their business more efficiently and profitably. We look forward to seeing some great things happen with this highly technical customer, and we anticipate a long and successful business relationship.”
