The plus for specialist trade
Secure many advantages as a specialist dealer in our alliance
Why is it worth your while
to become a NORDWEST partner?
As a trade association, we are shaped by the common interests of our approximately 1,255 specialist trade partners – individual, independent, medium-sized companies. And in our case, these companies are regional specialist wholesalers in the steel, construction, trades & industry and building services sectors.
We at NORDWEST organise goods procurement and purchasing centrally. We also develop trademarks and helpful services and consolidate payment transactions between the different parties. The synergies created as a result of optimised processes ultimately means less effort and lower costs. Our billing model is central payment. We centralise the billing processes for all parties involved: the dealers order directly from the suppliers, while NORDWEST, as the central accounting centre, pays the supplier directly and later issues a collective invoice to the dealers.
We offer specialist wholesalers the added value of an all-round carefree package – particularly in the areas of digitalisation, logistics, sales and marketing. This is how we support our trade partners in successfully selling steel, doors, windows, bathrooms, tools and work safety products to industry and crafts enterprises and as well as to municipalities. NORDWEST is also active in Europe, particularly in the key countries of Austria, Switzerland, France, Poland and the Benelux countries, and is endeavouring to further expand its business activities there.
Effectively, we are ten companies under one roof: we employ over 100 IT experts alone, plus logistics specialists, market experts and merchandise specialists as well as sales professionals who develop an extremely diverse palette of solutions for our partners. Authenticity, a spirit of progress and solidarity are all encoded into NORDWEST’s congenial DNA.
