What we are hearing
Our Customers Can’t Wait for Factrees
Courtney Little
President, Ace Glass
There are a lot of underutilized resources in the market because manufacturers have a hard time finding good representatives and those representatives are always looking for new products and solutions to bring to market. Factrees has a great solution to the problem with an efficient tool and process that helps manufacturers and representatives connect.
Tina McConoughey
CEO, Source Force
As an independent rep new accounts and product lines come via word of mouth or google search so having the ability to connect via Factrees will be beneficial in growing and connecting relationships that I may not have had before. This is a simple and detailed way to promote my business as well as the products I represent.
Ron Smith

We are initially focusing on the Construction Industry since there is a high concentration of customers that would benefit from our service, however, Factrees works for any product, industry or territory.
