:: Company Overview


Two veteran executives from the distribution industry founded AccessChannel to help companies with great products access the U.S. technology channel. We know that many companies cannot wait to organically grow their revenue before they eventually qualify to be sold by a Tier I distributor. This is especially the case as most large resellers and retailers do not purchase directly from emerging manufacturers. See Barriers to Entering The U.S. Channel.

Key Benefits of AccessChannel:

  1. Access to the customer base of the largest distributor in the U.S. – over 40,000 resellers and retailers.

  2. Direct distribution contract with Ingram Micro.

  3. Lowest cost model to reach resellers with savings approaching 65% of the cost of a traditional Tier I distribution relationship.

  4. Listing in Ingram Micro's catalog takes weeks not months.

  5. Coop, MDF, and Rebate programs are 100% at the option of the manufacturer - you can participate a little, a lot, or just use the money elsewhere.

  6. Daily POS reporting and inventory visibility.

  7. Outsourced invoicing and collections.

AccessChannel manages the physical distribution of your products and is the point of contact on all vendor relations issues. However, resellers see no difference between a product that is offered by a manufacturer with a traditional relationship with Ingram Micro and a manufacturer that works with AccessChannel. AccessChannel provides account relationship and inventory management services including warehousing, transportation, logistics, returns processing, accounting and information services.
