Allied Direct pioneered an entirely new way to distribute windows that reduces the cost of distribution 40 to 70%.
Who is Allied Direct?
ALLIED was founded by five very successful businessmen who each achieved success in a variety of businesses, but who all share the same philosophy:
"Allied cannot be successful unless we create success in others."
THE ALLIED MISSION STATEMENT:
"We will broaden our niche in the window and door market; simplify and reduce the cost of distribution; and foster the success of entrepreneurs in the fenestration business."
A Tough Learning Experience
In 2001, ALLIED entered into the window and door distribution business by purchasing a very large, traditional distributorship. Over the next 16 months the U.S. economy experienced tough times and traditional management practices resulted in getting things done the hard way!
History of Allied Direct
What triggered the development of a new distribution idea?
Traditional distributorships carry a lot of overhead such as warehousing, delivery trucks, multiple managers, accounting, service staff, inside sales reps, marketing expense, etc. Most business models forecast reasonable profitability under normal economic conditions.
A traditional distributor can reduce his costs to a point but if he cuts too deeply he starts cutting into what he's built. Doing so is against his nature and you can't expect otherwise. He may let the non-performers go. He may re-evaluate commissions and customer accommodations. His options get limited.
ALLIED wasn't willing to accept limited options. Instead, we pioneered an entirely new way to distribute windows and doors that reduces the cost of distribution anywhere from 40 to 70%. These saving are passed back to you so that you can prosper in both bad times and good!
