Winsupply of Tampa Bay and President John German were selected this year for their 2020 Digital Achievements.
“I’m thankful to have received this award but the credit really goes to Tinika Tilton, our Digital Marketing Manager,” John stated. “She has done a tremendous job implementing our online platform, making the contractors aware of its benefits and helping them put it into practice. More than 40% of our orders last year were placed online. That’s partly due to the COVID restrictions but it just makes sense from a convenience and efficiency standpoint for contractors to have 24/7 online ordering and tracking available. E-Commerce also enhances order accuracy and verification.”

“It makes sense from a distribution point of view as well,” Tinika added. “Contractors can view our inventories after hours and place notes on their online orders regarding what they need and whether they’ll pick it up or want delivery to their business or jobsite, making it easier for us to schedule serving them. Reviewing after hours and weekend orders is the first thing we do when we arrive at the branch in the morning. I’ve found that once the system is explained to our customers, most of them embrace it and become believers.”

Other top performing companies, locations and presidents in their respective industries plus individual award winners include:
Overall Company of the Year: Thomas Pipe and Supply (AZ), a Winsupply Co., Whalen Ward, President.
HVAC: Winsupply of Houston, (TX), Jason Greagrey, president.
Rookie of the Year: Tucson Winsupply (AZ), Zach Konstanzer, president.

“The companies we selected are led by some of the best and brightest,” said Rob Ferguson, president of Winsupply Local Company Group. “These entrepreneurs prove that the spirit of opportunity is thriving. They repeatedly show that having an owner in each location can produce above average results. I’m proud of all of our presidents who are recognized this year.”

All of the winning companies are members of the Winsupply Family of Companies.
