Ordering a huge range + certified trust

Dealer ordering for electrical makers — the whole range, all certified, in one order.

Self-service dealer ordering + credit-limit enforcement + automatic per-product, per-state tax — run standalone, or above your ERP via API-based integration. Not a DMS. Not a SFA.

Electrical distribution runs across thousands of SKUs — switchgear, wire, luminaires, controls — and a single project pulls from most of them. Buyers now demand proof of certification, because counterfeit product puts the distributor on the hook. Concord lets dealers and contractors self-serve the whole range, with certification on every line, and order mixed-category kits in one go.

The problem

A huge range, mixed-SKU orders, and buyers who want proof.

Taking a mixed-category project order by phone — switchgear, wire, fittings, luminaires — is slow and error-prone across thousands of SKUs. And with counterfeit and sub-standard goods a real liability, contractors and inspectors increasingly want certification shown, not assumed. Both are ordering problems Concord closes at the catalogue.

Thousands of SKUs

A range this broad is hard to order accurately from a message or a call.

Mixed-SKU project orders

One site needs many categories at once — keyed by hand, line by line.

Certification demanded

Counterfeit risk means buyers want proof of ISI/BIS/UL — a liability if it’s missing.

Your catalogue, structured for a huge range

One catalogue across every category a site needs.

Electricals isn’t one product line — it’s many, and a single project pulls from most of them. Concord holds the whole range with the rating and certification on each SKU, so a dealer filters to the exact part across categories without a call.

Each SKU carries its rating (A / V / W, phase, IP), voltage class (LV / MV / HV) and certification (ISI / BIS · UL / CE) — the compliance detail a buyer now expects to see.

Contractors and consumers, one catalogue

Supply contractors by the project kit — and sell fittings to retail buyers.

Electricals sells to trade and to retail off one range: contractors order mixed-SKU project kits on account, while consumers and small electricians buy a switch, a light or a coil of wire. Concord runs both, certified, priced for each side.

Order project kits on account

Mixed-SKU orders and saved kits, contract pricing, credit-checked — all certified, in one place.

B2C · retail & small trades

Buy a switch, a light, a coil

Retail buyers pick certified product by rating and buy singles — at retail pricing, same catalogue and stock.

One certified catalogue, one inventory — trade and retail priced independently, compliance shown for both.

Concord for electricals, trust first

Order certified product — and carry the proof, not the liability.

Counterfeit and sub-standard electrical goods put a distributor on the hook. The defence is simple: order and sell only certified product, with the certification attached. Concord builds that into the catalogue and the order.

Projects & kits

Quote a project kit, not a hundred separate lines.

Contractors buy a project as a kit — a mix of switchgear, wire, fittings and luminaires at a project rate, often on contract pricing over months. Concord lets you bundle a certified kit, quote it, and convert the accepted quote to an order, credit enforced.

FAQ

The questions manufacturers ask before they buy.

Straight answers on the range, certification, mixed-SKU orders, contract pricing, credit, tax and how electricals works with the systems you already run.

How do dealers order across such a huge electrical range?

Electrical distribution spans switchgear, wires and cables, luminaires, controls, MCBs and conduit — thousands of SKUs. Concord gives dealers self-service search and faceting across the whole catalogue, so they find the exact rating and category themselves instead of your team keying every mixed line by hand.

Can a single order mix many categories for a project?

Yes. A site pulls together a mixed-SKU order — wire, switchgear, fittings, luminaires — in one go. Concord handles a single order across categories, and lets you bundle a project kit, so a contractor orders everything for a job in one place.

How does Concord help with certification and counterfeit risk?

Sub-standard or counterfeit electrical goods raise a distributor’s liability, and buyers increasingly demand proof. Concord keeps certification and ratings — ISI/BIS, UL/CE, IP rating, voltage class — visible on each SKU, so a dealer orders certified product with the compliance detail attached, not a mystery line.

Can I run contract pricing for contractors?

Yes. Contractors often work to fixed project pricing over months. Concord supports per-account and contract pricing, quoted bundles for project kits, and quote-to-order — with credit enforced at order time and tax applied automatically.

How are credit and tax handled on electrical orders?

Every order is checked against the dealer’s or contractor’s credit limit at order time — control, never lending — and per-product, per-state tax is applied automatically and shown on the invoice.

Is Concord a DMS or SFA for electrical manufacturers?

No. A DMS or SFA manages field reps and secondary sales. Concord is the platform your electrical dealers and contractors order on — self-service across the range, certified, credit-checked, taxed — standalone or above your ERP via API-based integration.
