I need your help. Many of you have requested that GTS add Pilkington to our software as an available wholesaler for electronic inquiries and ordering. Interestingly, most of the requests come at us "tongue in cheek" assuming that GTS wouldn't be interested in that given our PPG/Pittsburgh Glass Works connection. That couldn't be further from the truth. Our stated mission is to help you achieve your goals for growth and profitability. And we believe that utilizing technology to help you better manage your purchasing and quoting process to maximize margins is essential in today's marketplace.
So what's the problem? Why isn't Pilkington available in GTS software? We do offer PPG Auto Glass, Bartlestone, Old Dominon Glass, and will soon be announcing the addition of one of the largest independent distributors in the U.S. So where is Pilkington?
I think the problem starts with me. I have made repeated attempts to contact and invite Pilkington to connect to GTS software. Unfortunately, I don't buy glass. That is where you come in. I have a feeling that Pilkington will be much more interested in speaking with you and looking for ways to meet your needs.
If you are interested in adding Pilkington to the line-up of available wholesalers available for electronic ordering within GTS software, please tell your rep how important it is to you and that they should contact me to get things moving.
With any luck we could be up and running soon. Thanks in advance for your help.
