FIT Show organisers have reported an emerging trend for tech based companies who are signing up to exhibit at the 2019 event.
Adding to the growing tech lineup in recent weeks are eight new brands made up of Business Pilot, Klaes, WindowLink, Windowmaker, Business Micros, Aztec Glass, Dufea IT Solutions and Smart Builder.
Business Pilot will be previewing its new Business Pilot System which is an IT solution designed to streamline processes for installation businesses, from lead generation and sales through to operations, installations, finance and after service.
Speaking about their decision to exhibit, Business Pilot director, Elton Boocock, said: “FIT Show is the one opportunity where you get so much of the installation industry together in one place at one time to meet, share ideas, see new things and take positive steps to improving our businesses.”
Smart Builder will exhibit as part of Visit Glass, FIT Show’s debut flat glass feature, and will showcase its new glass processing digital and paperless software alongside award-winning design tools all of which provide efficiencies in glass processing – from designing and drawing through to glass ordering and installation.
Smart Builder UK manager, Paul Needham, said: “The UK glass industry has been crying out for their own home grown glass show. We get plenty of interest from UK visitors at overseas trade shows and can only imagine the interest if there was a show right here on everybody’s doorstep. We have exhibited at the FIT show in the past but this is the first time the flat/processed glass industry have their own place.”
FIT Show event director, Nickie West, added: “It’s fantastic to see so many tech savvy and forward thinking companies joining the lineup for FIT Show 2019. As an industry, we have to embrace technology and its many advantages for streamlining processes and improving efficiencies – both of which can have a positive impact on profitability.
