"We are very excited about this new relationship with BlueTarp," said Scott Stanford, President of ECi's Lumber, Building Materials and Hardlines division. "Working with building contractors is very important to our Advantage dealers. BlueTarp takes away the risk and hassle that comes along with offering in-house credit it's just one more tool to help keep the independent dealer competitive."
Along with receiving guaranteed cash flow, dealers who offer BlueTarp commercial credit can focus their staff on delivering excellent service and providing specialized knowledge for customers, rather than chasing down all the daily numbers and phone calls associated with an in-house program. In turn, their customers can take advantage of request-based credit lines and flexible terms that make it easy for them to purchase custom materials for a job from multiple local suppliers.
The integration of BlueTarp and Advantage will allow the information from BlueTarp to flow seamlessly into the Advantage system so that dealers can continue to manage their business without adding additional software or extra training. "We're excited to join forces with ECi Advantage," BlueTarp CEO Scott Simpson said. "Integration right at the register makes it even easier for dealers and contractors to enjoy the benefits of BlueTarp's commercial credit program."
