We're taking the stage at NAED National in Orlando tomorrow!

Our CEO and Founder, Forest Flager, is joining Christopher Stein and Jeremy Begg from Border States for a Power Talk on one of electrical distribution's most pressing challenges: the workforce.

📅 Thursday, May 14th | 🕘 9:00 AM |📍Waterside Ballroom 1-9, Signia Hilton

The numbers tell the story — 997 years of combined experience left Border States in a single year, and replacing tenured talent is slow, expensive, and unsustainable.

They will share:
⏱️How AI cut time-to-quote by 45%
⏩ How the new hire ramp time dropped by 50%
🤝 Why the goal is to augment employees, not replace them

Drop by and learn how you can leverage AI to reduce ramp time and help each employee do more!

Connexion has built its reputation on showing up for customers when projects get complex — and Ken Callham, Director of Project Operations at Connexion, and his team pushed us to build a platform that strengthens that experience, not one that gets in its way.

Here's what Ken shared:
"By unifying ex*****on on a single platform, we expect to operate more efficiently and elevate the service our customers expect when navigating complex projects with us."
Grateful to Ken and the Connexion team for trusting us to build alongside them.

Most lighting rep agencies rely on legacy systems built to produce documents — not to manage the data behind their business.

The result: workflows lose continuity, leading to manual work, re-entry, and missed opportunities.

A month ago, we launched Parspec Sales Management to change that.
https://hubs.ly/Q04clL8p0
It’s a single system to manage the full project lifecycle—from RFQ to closeout.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:
• Turn drawings and schedules into structured BOMs in seconds
• Cross faster with AI-recommended or user-defined alternates
• Access accurate pricing through manufacturer integrations and pricing document ingestion
• Move from quote to ex*****on without rework
• Track changes and their impact on margin and scope

We’re also working closely with a small group of agencies to shape this product.
Participants get early access, preferential pricing, and close collaboration with our product team.

A huge thank you to Don Masters, Executive VP of Sales & Marketing at Border States, and his team, for their partnership in shaping Parspec Project Management. 🙏

Border States was one of the founding collaborators in our Steering Committee — and their real-world insights were instrumental in building a solution that actually reflects how project businesses operate.

Here's what Don had to say:
“Our partnership with Parspec has been rooted in solving the real challenges that quoting teams face on complex projects. Their new Project Management capabilities reflect the power of collaboration and customer-driven feedback to build solutions that keep projects moving forward. This advancement strengthens our ability to run and grow our project business with greater accuracy, reliability, and responsiveness, helping us anticipate customer needs and deliver a better overall experience.”

We're proud to be building the future of project ex*****on alongside partners like Border States. This is what it looks like when industry leaders and technology teams build together.

Parspec Project Management provides MEP distributors with a single system for running projects from award through closeout.

Here's what that looks like in practice:
→ Convert awarded quotes into executable orders instantly, no re-entry, no mismatches
→ Track releases, shipments, and delivery updates live in the project record
→ Give contractors self-service visibility into their orders without the "where's my stuff?" calls
→ Manage change orders in one structured workflow with version control
→ Reconcile, bill, and close projects faster by linking invoices directly to orders

For too long, post-award ex*****on has meant juggling emails, spreadsheets, and ERP systems while contractors waited and wondered where their materials were. The result? Project managers spend 68 hours per $100K in goods sold, and contractors lose up to 25% of labor productivity from poor visibility into orders and deliveries.

That changes now.

Today, Parspec officially launches Project Management, Built in direct collaboration with Rexel, Border States, USESI, and Connexion. It provides distributors a single place to manage orders, fulfillment, change orders, billing, and customer visibility.
With project management, Parspec now offers a single AI-native platform for distributors to run their project business from bid to close-out.

Early adopters expect up to -
→ 30% increase in project manager productivity
→ 6% improvement in win rates with existing customers
→ 10 % reduction in billing cycle time
