Higgins of IBC business development, relations and recruitment. “AgoNow enables IBC distributor members to cost effectively expand product offerings, increase order fill rates and improve overall service metrics.”

“We are very excited to be a newly approved industrial wholesale supplier to IBC. We believe the end-user is best served when everyone in the supply chain works together and we help facilitate those relationships,” stated John Allenbach, AgoNow president of sales and co-founder. “We enable manufacturers to sell more deeply into their portfolios and distributors to access new product categories at a lower cost. We look forward to partnering with IBC distributor members to support their profitable growth in 2020 and beyond!”

Currently, AgoNow has 130 supplier partners and more than 150,000 SKUs in its system. More than 10,000 items are stocked in its 50,000 square-foot warehouse located in Tulsa.
