In support of modernizing the distribution channel, Schneider Electric pledged $1,000,000 to the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) Education & Research Foundation (NERF) to support the Next Level Now campaign. Schneider Electric is the first manufacturer to join the industry-wide effort, which will develop insights, tools, and services that support the digital transformation.
Schneider Electric is a long-time member of NAED and became the first Visionary Circle level pledge at $1,000,000 over the next five years. This investment will improve the impact and sustainability of the channel, as well as its modernization by developing strategies and tools to optimize business practices. Schneider Electric shares the vision of a modern, digital channel to benefit all stakeholders involved by engaging a new and larger customer base, increasing sales and providing a better overall customer experience.
“We provide a shared experience to our customers, and the industry wins on the quality of that shared experience,” Mike Montanari, vice president of channel development, said. “The Next Level Now Campaign is an opportunity for us to align together so we can continually deliver the best possible experience for the customers we collectively serve. Schneider Electric is honored to support this vital initiative.”
Schneider Electric says that its five-year commitment to the program demonstrates the strength of its relationships with distribution partners and its leadership position in the industry, as distributors explore and develop new capabilities to optimize their businesses and keep pace with customer expectations and needs.
