What's new in AV
Anixter has been working on two main initiatives, the Room in the BOX solution, which consists of adding the Supply Chain experience to the AV world, the different thing they do is that they test all the equipment, preconfigure them, take them out of their original boxes, package them in a single KIT, and place everything that goes in a meeting room, make a single delivery where the customer requires it, this causes the implementation time to decrease by up to 60%.
"The other initiative that we have been developing is that of Digital Signage, Anixter has a very wide and strong network in Latin America of security integrators, these integrators we are bringing to the AV business with our preconfigured VideowallS KITS, in these kits we include the panel, support, cables, controllers and others, with this we expand your business and your sales in your single project", Felice Tinelli highlighted.
