Founded in 2001, AiNGroup is the nation’s only network of residential and commercial low voltage system integrators. It is comprised of more than 550 approved dealer companies who are offered a no-cost membership while also benefiting from a member-exclusive, full-scale marketing division. AiNGroup hand selects all of their manufacturing partners, and uses their dealer network’s combined buying power to negotiate favorable manufacturer pricing. AiNGroup is known for its unique collaboration between its dealer members, who both advocate for one another and openly share best business practices even when markets overlap. It is also not uncommon for several AiN dealer members to collaborate together in order to service larger regional or national accounts. It is because of this unique dealer collaboration that AiNGroup is one of the most sought-after member-based buying groups in the country.
AiNGroup selected CellGate as a new manufacturing partner because of the Company’s long track record of cutting edge new wireless technology and ability to deliver sophisticated solutions for the visitor management and access control marketplace. AiNGroup did not have another manufacturing partner with similar characteristics, so CellGate filled a much-needed void in AiN’s manufacturer lineup.
Ken Shaw, CellGate’s Vice President of Sales, discussed how the new AiNGroup partnership validated CellGate’s long-standing reputation in the access control industry, while also acknowledging the prestige that the AiNGroup partnership brings. “It is has long been CellGate’s go-to-market strategy to leverage our highly unique combination of technologies to create new value point solutions for access control and visitor management applications,” said Shaw. “It is both humbling and validating to earn the respect for what we have being building from such a well-regarded entity like AiNGroup. They are pioneers themselves in the system integration world, and we could not be prouder to offer our wireless technologies to their dealer members.”
CellGate’s Business Development team has already begun doing regional events with AiNGroup members beginning this month, and plans to participate in their national conference in March 2024 in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
