- Spike, the laser accurate Smartphone measurement solution, is available to
sign and graphics shops through new agreement -
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS is pleased to introduce Reece Supply Company as its
first U.S. sign industry reseller partner of Spike.
With Spike, sign makers 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, which saves sign companies time and cuts overhead costs on
a traditionally lengthy process.
Sign makers can also save measurements on Spike and send dimensions via email
to customers or designers to create proofs, assess installation and complete
permit applications. If additional measurements are needed, sign makers 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.
"As a Spike reseller, we can offer our customers a solution that will quickly
improve how they conduct business today," says Sean Schultz, general manager
of Reece Supply Company in Harahan, Louisiana. "Our customers will find that
they can streamline their estimating process with Spike, which inevitably
saves on labor costs."
For more than 75 years, Reece Supply Company has offered sign shops many of
the biggest brands in the industry, including 3M, Arlon, Epson America, GE,
Gerber Scientific Products, Mimaki, SA International, Sloan LED and Ultraflex
Systems. Reece Supply Company operates eight locations in Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Georgia and North Carolina. Each location houses a large inventory
of sign, screen and digital products, and local seminars are available to
train and educate signage professionals on new products and techniques.
"We're excited to partner with such a well-respected company in the signage
industry," says Jeff Ross, chief marketing officer of ikeGPS. "For decades,
Reece Supply Company has provided sign makers with the industry's most
innovative solutions. Reece is once again demonstrating its leadership by
introducing Spike to its customers in an effort to help them reduce expenses
and run more efficiently."
For live Spike demos, Reece Supply Company will showcase this measurement
solution at the Texas Sign Association Annual Conference in Montgomery,
Texas, June 9-13, and the Mid South Sign Association Meeting and Trade Show
in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, July 23-25.
