Memphis, TN, June 4, 2018 – Vending machine and inventory management software supplier 1sourcevend, a provider of automated VMI solutions for distributors and their customers, has joined the Association of Independent Welding Distributors as a new vendor.

The decision to join came after several positive interactions with AIWD members and leaders over the past year, including a presentation by Sales and Marketing Manager Brett Canale on vending to AIWD members at the association’s 2018 convention in April.

1sourcevend Founder Mark Hill says he is encouraged by the conversations he’s had with AIWD members. “Smart distributors are looking for ways to sell more broadly to their customers,” he says. “We’re excited to help them do just that by providing inventory management solutions that support not only their primary lines, such as welding consumables, but also their complementary lines including safety products.”

1sourcevend completed a formal membership application in May. The AIWD board of directors approved it unanimously.

“Our affordable coil and locker machines will put AIWD distributor members on equal footing with Fastenal and other national competitors, allowing them to profitably provide VMI solutions for even their smaller accounts,” Hill says. “This will empower them to go after a greater share of customer spend.”
