ADT Buying Out Brink’s/Broadview

via ADT Buying Out Brink’s/Broadview.

ADT, already the largest alarm company in North America, is about to get even bigger. ADT’s parent corporation Tyco International has announced it will be aquiring Broadview Security (formerly Brink’s) for a reported $2 Billion U.S. in cash and stock. All existing Broadview accounts (commercial and residential) will be rebranded as ADT. The transaction still needs to be approved by Broadview shareholders and government regulators, but should be official by mid-2010. So the question is: how will this affect authorized dealers and clients of the two companies?

We have always felt that offering a fulfillment program where the Sub-Dealers concentrate on selling services only, makes those businesses even stronger.

Since 2005, Direct Communications has operated through a business model called fulfillment. This allows businesses to sell services without having to hire extra staff such as installers, pay interest on credit terms, or have to worry about employee theft.

Fulfillment reduces risk and high expenses for these companies allowing them to grow at a much faster pace then if they had to inventorize everything, and hire additional staff to handle installations. Some smaller business now can have nationwide sales presence by using our Referral Fulfillment Program in 43 states. Says Catie Matsushima Director of Marketing.
