Our business is to help distributors achieve “Best Practice” in their businesses. How? By utilizing our leading edge, industry-specific software and years of expertise in the industrial distribution marketplace to gain the edge on the competition.
Tribute has incorporated over 27 years of experience in the hose, fluid power, fluid handling, power transmission, belting, sealing, automation, motion control and related marketplace by creating TrulinX™ - our Windows based, user-focused product designed specifically for these industries. TrulinX was designed from the ground up, capturing our years of industrial distribution experience and take advantage of the latest technologies along the way!
Utilizing the stability and familiarity of SQL Server and Windows, TrulinX offers industry specific features, unrivaled real-time phone support that knows you and your business, along with personable and knowledgeable on-site implementation. With an extremely dedicated and influential user base, and a retention rate above 97%, Tribute also benefits greatly from the input of its users into product development. In fact, Tribute has one of the few remaining independent user groups in the industry actively involved in guiding and selecting future product enhancements.
Just as importantly, Tribute enjoys a high retention rate for our employees as well. This tells us that we are doing something right. However, we don’t rest on our laurels, we constantly seek feedback from our customers (in the form of follow-up surveys) and they consistently tell us good things. Our ratings in resolution time, professionalism, knowledge and accuracy are time and again in the 90% range and above, well over the average software company.
We belong to your trade associations - FPDA, ISD, GFA, NAHAD & NIBA - and partner with major manufacturers in your industry to provide you with up to date tools to give you the competitive edge. In addition, Tribute's customers are typically high profile industry leaders, so input is filtered through their success. How many other software companies actively seek and utilize their client’s expertise in the development of their product?
Tribute is flexible enough to offer solutions for both large and small distributors, but focused enough to really know your business. |
