Posted by TD SYNNEX Editor on Aug 25, 2021


Wouldn’t it be great if you could quickly, easily and affordably expand your service offerings, increase your sales, improve your margins and elevate your brand with little-to-no effort? Now, Tech Data resellers can with the brand new MyShop.

 

Because the buyer’s journey — especially in the technology ecosystem — begins online, resellers must ensure that journey begins and ends on their site. MyShop is the solution to best position resellers to capitalize on these wins. MyShop lets partners customize their clients’ experiences, delivering real-time product updates, access to new product information, and more.

 

With MyShop, resellers can provide customers the opportunity to browse Tech Data’s product catalog, request a quote, or make a purchase, all on the reseller’s website and white-labeled with the reseller’s branding and messaging.

 

According to Josh Muirhead, Tech Data Program Manager, e-Business, Reseller Connect, “we began hearing from partners that their need for e-commerce capability was increasing. So we set out to create a customized webshop that would fulfill their needs. MyShop, a protégé of TDEngage, was the solution and was released on July 12, 2021, with new features to support our growing reseller community.”

 

“Although there are other e-Commerce solutions currently in the marketplace, MyShop is a proprietary system specifically created for Tech Data customers with several unique features and a high-end, one-of-a-kind look and feel,” Muirhead concluded.

 

One of Tech Data’s reseller partners, Tecustry, had this to say about the MyShop tool:

 

“Tech Data’s MyShop program is a scalable, manageable solution with seamless integration to their inventory, order processing & shipping. Their website used to showcase & market the authorized products is a great step towards seamlessly selling to end users. Client support is excellent too.”

 

Among the most popular MyShop features is the Solutions Center. This feature allows partners to syndicate a product configurator, virtual 360 storefronts, and an Internet of Things portfolio. For a look at these features, check out the following link (top of page): EUREKA PC (cmc-td.com)
