Complementary Partner Spotlight


Building Automation Products, Inc.
 
Reasons why a Circon Integrator would want to purchase BAPI products through Circon:
 
1. Place one PO for controllers and peripherals.
2. Circon logo plates on all room units and EU enclosures.
3. CT/prefixed products are Circon tested and approved.
4. CT/ part numbers get Circon product labels.
5. Better customer / tech support since parts are ordered through Circon and support reps can access orders to see what parts were ordered for a particular job.
6. One access point for support.
7.BA/Prefixed parts, although compatible with Circon Controllers, are generic configurations not Circon approved configurations.
8BAPI purchases are counted toward your overall Circon total purchases, as this volume grows integrator multipliers improve.
9. Support your control systems manufacturer.
