By extending the availability of Trimble SketchUp across Europe, we enable our existing AEC resellers to offer more choice and enhanced support to their customers. It also opens potential for more resellers and end customers to benefit from the growing reputation of this popular design ecosystem, which is ideal for use in the wider AEC sector for conceptualising ideas, implementing early-stage design research, communicating with stakeholders and showcasing compelling presentations to clients.
“Within TD Synnex, we have deep expertise in the SMB market, and this distributor agreement provides an excellent value-added opportunity for us to help Trimble SketchUp resellers develop and reach out to smaller to mid-sized firms in the AEC community,” added Smit.
