Boston Retail Launches the FastLane Alliance Program....
FastLane® Modular Wiring is easily and quickly installed using pre-fabricated power and data system configurations as compared to labor intensive, traditional fixed solutions that offer little in flexibility and remain costly. Customers clearly see the labor savings benefit to a FastLane solution, but their number one question is: “Who can help us realize the labor savings?” In response, we launched our FastLane Alliance Program, allowing us to refer experienced electrical contractors to our customers. By offering our customers knowledgeable installers, the ‘plug & play’, pre-designed value of FastLane is realized with fewer hours per job required compared to pure pipe-and-wire. The bottom-line is FastLane will allow contractors to do more jobs, with less labor, at a lower risk than traditional wiring. Also, the opportunity exists for Contractors to bid these jobs with the confidence of delivering on-time. Electrical contractors listed in our Referral Directory are given the opportunity to deliver enhanced value to shared customers.
To be considered for a free listing in the Referarl Directory, contractors simply need to complete the form included in the Alliance Program Guide. For more information or to request a copy of the Alliance Program Guide, please visit: www.bostonretail.com or contact us at FastLane@bostonretail.com or 1.781.306.4100
