AGE held Global Supplier and Marketing Meeting

AGE global supplier and marketing meeting took place last week, and saw stock management teams and marketing departments from 21 member countries in attendance, to officially launch two new partner suppliers, share expertise, and present potential innovative digital solutions. AGE’s strategy is to have at least two partner suppliers of key products used daily in their 2 000 workstations worldwide.

Marco Moreno, AGE CEO and Chairman of AGE, opened the session by welcoming members and introducing Sika as AGE’s new partner supplier for adhesives.

David Tobler, Corp. Head Transportation & Automotive Aftermarket of Sika, followed with a presentation on future market trends, new regulations for adhesives and sealants, and new products that will soon be launched into market.

“AGE is ready to proceed with proper local training on new regulations and is currently looking for solutions to decrease the risk to our glass professionals in our workstations,” explained Moreno.

Following Sika, Partoo took over and presented their software tool for GMB (Google My Business).

“Google is one of the many tools we can use to improve our global presence and customer visibility. Partoo allows AGE members to offer the most updated information about their workstations worldwide, services, and campaigns.

Vetrocar, AGE member in Italy, is already working with Partoo this meeting was a great opportunity to share the performance our members can achieve over time.

Partoo’s tool will also allow our members to give a better response rate to their clients, improving their customer experience,” shared Moreno.

Devesh Trivedi, CEO & Co-Founder of Inspektlabs, was the second partner supplier presented in this meeting, and provided insight into the benefits of their AI (Artificial Intelligence) software and how it can redefine vehicle inspections.

Inspektlabs AI software allows users to detect windscreen damage with 95% accuracy using photos and/or videos.  Through this tool, AGE hopes to further drive their sustainability strategy, repair before replace, and cost reductions for their clients.
