Tubelite Expands Product Line With Spike by ikeGPS
- New distribution partnership brings Spike to eastern U.S. -
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS (NZX: IKE) announces its new reselling agreement
with Apopka, Florida-based Tubelite, a sign and digital graphics distributor,
to bring Spike to the eastern U.S.
Along with Spike, a smart laser measurement solution for site surveys and
estimations, Tubelite offers a wide range of products from major industry
manufacturers, including 3M, GE, Sloan, H?per Optik, Mimaki and Roland DGA.
Tubelite operates nine distribution centers in eight states: Florida, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Alabama, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Arizona.
"We're always looking for the newest products on the market that can help our
customers operate more efficiently and better manage their costs," says Bill
Dickinson, digital products manager of Tubelite. "Spike does just that. Our
customers can create quicker estimates and site surveys, which allows them to
take on more jobs."
With Spike, sign and digital graphics professionals can quickly capture
accurate measurements of the width, height and area of signage locations from
a smartphone or tablet picture. A ladder, bucket truck and tape measure are
no longer required to create estimates, saving sign companies time and
overhead costs on a traditionally lengthy process.
The measurements of the sign or graphic location are saved with the Spike
photo and can be shared with customers, designers or production team to
create job estimates and design proofs, assess installation and complete
permit applications. If additional measurements are needed, users can refer
to their saved Spike photos at any time to make modifications. There's no
need to return to the site for further measurements or estimations.
"ikeGPS is excited to be working with Tubelite, one of the largest and most
respected suppliers to the sign, screen printing and digital imaging
industries in the U.S.," says Jeff Ross, chief marketing officer of ikeGPS.
For more information on purchasing Spike, contact your local Tubelite
representative or the Tubelite sales department at 800-505-4900.
