Challenges:

Bearcom Toronto, like many other dealers, faced challenges in keeping their customers supplied with accessories in the post-pandemic supply chain management landscape. The situation was complicated by OEM backorders, resulting in potential customers waiting for up to 16 weeks for accessories. Dealers had to make decisions on whether to send a partial order, sell only part of the order, or hope that the customer would return for accessories later. While some dealers sought aftermarket solutions, they encountered challenges in determining the reliability, availability, and quality match of the aftermarket solutions with the radios they were selling to their customers.

“You’re all so easy to work with, from your website to your team. I’m selling Impact because it offers top-notch quality, comes at a great price point, and is readily available. The quality surpasses anything I’ve ever known or experienced. ”
Account Executive – Patricia Russo

Solution:

Ms. Russo, the Account Executive representing West Toronto, proactively found customer-focused solutions rather than being held back by backorders. She chose OEM equivalent accessories, particularly Impact Radio Accessories, known for their quality, availability, and competitive pricing, to ensure a smooth experience for her customers.

In Practice:

The primary charger customer base for Ms. Russo included industries such as construction, property
management, security, manufacturing, community healthcare, and not-for-profit organizations. Even when OEM chargers were available for these verticals, she recommended Impact chargers to her customers for various reasons. In addition to being competitively priced, Impact chargers were readily available, avoiding sending orders split, and had interchangeable cups for customers needing a mix of radio types. Impact’s dedicated customer service team also helped her whenever customers made last-minute changes, keeping her customers happy.

Beneficial Use Cases

Construction/Manufacturing Industry: Impact chargers are highly adaptable and durable, making them ideal for construction environments where ruggedness and versatility are paramount. The chargers can withstand demanding conditions and provide additional USB charging for the additional devices that come with a construction site.
