MicroBlend for Contractors
MicroBlend provides an extraordinary opportunity for paint contractors. The surge in residential building and commercial development increases the demand for creativity with paint. There is a new sensibility about the essential impact paint has on the quality and design of our built environment. And do-it-for-me is the fastest growing segment of the residential sector.
Such demands require contractors to innovate how they conduct their painting business if they are to remain competitive. MicroBlend Technologies delivers the most revolutionary change to the business of painting in 100 years with the patented Automated Paint Machine™ system. Our innovation is changing the way contractors paint while delivering a breakthrough profit picture.
Challenges to competitive success and profitability
Contractors face numerous challenges to their success in today’s hyper-competitive opportunity environment: They must continuously train and retain a skilled workforce while effectively managing their finances to invest in equipment and insurance; stay afloat in off-peak periods; and juggle overhead, taxes, and revenue in a cash flow-driven business.
A rising tide of EPA regulations on the use of VOCs is likely to impact the longevity, workability, and performance of materials. An aging workforce and new immigration laws are decreasing the pool of available personnel while the cost of retaining workers is rising due to escalating health care and other benefit costs. While contractors must stay current on OSHA and EPA compliance as well as update equipment, skills and safety precautions, they also require new competitive advantages to remain successful.
Painting Your Way: Easier and more profitable
Historically, contractors have sought to contain paint and material costs below 20% of the total job cost. Often this promotes brand allegiance to one manufacturer as a means to gain the most volume and lower product costs. In the old model, marking up paint costs - critical to protecting job margins - had to be balanced with achieving the quality a customer required.
With MicroBlend’s APM™ system, contractors are free to provide various price and quality levels while constantly building their total volume as a means to greater discounts.
Critical paint issues, such as the hide of a paint brand and what it takes to apply it in hours and coverage, also impacted margins. When you factor in the default logistical madness of the business, such as managing paint stock and supplier inconsistencies with color matching and dependability on large volume orders, you have a prescription for revolutionary change.
The long held assumptions about paint and color issues as well as the costs associated with the old business model of painting are yesterday. MicroBlend Technologies enables contractors to change the way you paint:
- No more committing valuable personnel and floating your finances to handle paint inventory.
- No more cost overruns from over purchasing or missed project deadlines due to running out of stock.
- No more paying for paint you never use.
- No more re-painting a whole room just to match a touch up.
- No more boxing to produce a consistent color.
- No more hassles from unfulfilled supplier promises and ever-changing job site demands for materials.
- No more scheduling of jobs around paint store hours and product availability.
- No more worries about regulatory compliance from paint storage or disposal concerns.
