Welcome to the May issue of Electrical Wholesaler. We’ve got another great issue for you this month, with a focus on business and inventory management software and how they can help wholesaler to effect cost and time savings.

The free-to-attend event will kick off at 4:00pm – head to page 29 to find out more.

Elsewhere in the issue, Hamilton Litestat’s Gavin Williams discusses the growing consumer demand for personalisation in their homes, and how Hamilton’s paintables colour-matching wiring accessories range aims to meet this need (page 15).

In our Home Automation feature on page 24, Scolmore’s Marie Parry looks at how wholesalers can offer smart technology to enhance new ‘office’ environments. On page 26, Infor’s Kelly Squizzero looks at how COVID-19 has accelerated the need for electrical wholesalers to operate optimised warehouses, offering savings of both cost and time.

Plus, as always, the usual news, views, product innovations and installations from market-leading businesses across the sector, including a look at the role of ventilation in preventing the spread of COVID-19 (31), and the changing world of B2B online sales for a post-pandemic industry (19).
