Vendors manufacture IT products and appoint authorised distributors to handle delivery to end users.
Most vendors are not geared up for direct delivery, so they rely on distributors’ warehousing and logistics expertise.
Vendors collaborate with Value-Added Resellers (VARs) to provide tailored solutions, customer support, and product training.
Distributors manage large warehouses and act as the link between vendors and VARs.
They provide services like technical support, inventory management, and logistics to ensure seamless delivery.
Historically, distributors handled bulk stock deals to streamline supply chain processes.
VARs add value by tailoring solutions to meet end-user requirements.
They are trained, certified, and accredited by vendors to deliver the right solutions at the best prices.
True VARs work collaboratively across the supply chain to ensure end users get genuine, suitable products.
End users receive products and services tailored to their needs via VARs.
Customers benefit from a transparent, vendor-approved supply chain, avoiding risks like hidden costs and poor build quality.
Fake, low-quality goods can cause failures, safety risks, and system downtime.
Products not intended for the UK market may have incompatible power supplies and lack essential updates.
Vendors refuse to support or replace products purchased outside authorised channels.
Additional tiers mean increased margins, downtime for replacements, and potential damage or failure.
Counterfeit or grey market devices can expose businesses to spyware, fraud, and cyber vulnerabilities.
95% of UK authorised distributors feed stock and price into the Probrand Procurement Platform, covering 1,600 vendors and over 300,000 live products.
Ensure products meet vendor-approved quality standards, eliminating counterfeit risks and hidden costs.

Guaranteed access to vendor-backed warranties, updates, and reliable after-sales service.
