LAS VEGAS — PBE Solutions, Inc. announced that it will share technology and sales and marketing resources with Chicago-based software company SBC Solutions Inc., in a strategic partnership designed to provide an inventory, distribution and point-of-sale management system for warehouse and jobber distributors in the automotive aftermarket.
“This alliance leverages the strengths of both companies,” says Christian Hassold, COO at PBE Solutions. “By combining our industry leading e-commerce solutions with the rich suite of software offerings developed by SBC Solutions, we can better position distributors for business in today’s competitive market.”
