GENERAL: IKE: ikeGPS Signs GSG as New Spike Reselling Partner
- New distribution agreement increases Spike availability to Southwestern,
Midwestern U.S. -
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--ikeGPS announces that it has added GSG as a new reselling
partner to increase distribution of Spike, a smart laser measurement solution
for signage site surveys and estimations, to the Southwestern and Midwestern
U.S. sign and digital graphics market.
"GSG has enthusiastically embraced Spike, and we're excited to partner with
such a respected distributor in the sign and graphics industry," says Jeff
Ross, chief marketing officer of ikeGPS. "Spike has been so well-received in
the signage market, and this move will help more sign professionals get their
hands on Spike."
In its 62-year history, GSG has always focused on bringing the industry's
most innovative products to its customers. Some of GSG's top manufacturers
include 3M, Orafol, HP, Roland and Sloan LED. GSG operates six locations in
Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. In addition to those locations, GSG services
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and New Mexico.
"There's no other solution like Spike in the market for the signage
industry," says Brandon Smith, director of marketing for GSG. "Spike allows
our customers to dramatically reduce labor requirements and reduce the amount
of time it takes to conduct site surveys, making for a more cost-efficient
process."
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.
For more information about Spike, GSG customers should contact their local
sales rep or office at www.gogsg.com or 1-800-366-1776.
