At Sol Distribution, we’re proud to be a value-added distributor. When the opportunity came up to support our vendor partner Weblib to connect with our reseller partner Softcat, we were happy to be involved.
Collaborating with Weblib we launched a series of ‘Lunch and Learn’ events at Softcat’s offices across the UK.
Connecting Weblib and Softcat
So, what are our Lunch and Learn events? The Lunch and Learn events were designed to open up conversations between Weblib and Softcat.
Softcat are one of the largest Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in the UK, and as a one of our resellers, we have a strong relationship with the company. This allowed us to support Weblib in initiating conversations with Softcat and demonstrate to them how the Weblib portfolio can meet their needs.
Weblib
Before we dive into the Lunch and Learn sessions in a bit more detail, here’s a brief overview of Weblib.
Weblib is a technology provider that offers innovative hardware and software solutions that enhance Wi-Fi connectivity and digital engagement for large-scale environments like retail, hospitality venues, banks, stadiums, airports, and universities. They’re experts in powering in-store tech and are responsible for providing the underlying tech in places like McDonald’s and Disneyland Paris.
Weblib’s tools include Smart WiFi, Ucopia, App Connect, Smart Kiosk, Tab In Store, and Smilein, tools that are designed to help businesses transform guest connectivity into a source of customer engagement and data capture opportunity. By turning everyday Wi-Fi needs of customers into business growth opportunities, Weblib equips resellers, VARs, and MSPs with the tools to support high-profile, complex client environments.
The Lunch and Learn sessions
As you can see, Weblib has a lot to offer and plenty to share through the Lunch and Learn sessions. Visiting Softcat’s Marlow and Manchester offices, the interactive sessions were the perfect environment for the Softcat team to really understand Weblib.
Over lunch, Softcat’s team were able to get hands on demos, ask every question they needed and discover the range of opportunities Weblib could provide for their company that could help them win more business.
Jason Goody, Head of Sales at Weblib shared his experience of the Lunch and Learn events:
“SOL Distribution has been crucial in helping Weblib initiate discussions with Softcat, one of the largest Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in the UK. With Chris’s support, we’ve been able to connect with the right people, leading to the successful launch of a series of “Lunch and Learn” events across Softcat’s offices throughout the UK.
What started as a collaboration between SOL Distribution and Weblib has quickly turned into a mini tour, with successful sessions held at Softcat’s UK headquarters in Marlow and their Birmingham office. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be visiting the Manchester office at the beginning of May as well.
The Softcat sales teams are already experiencing the value of the Weblib portfolio, and with the help of SOL Distribution, they see the potential for a strong, integrated offering to serve their customer base effectively.”
The future of Lunch and Learn
At Sol Distribution, we are invested in the success of our partners and our Lunch and Learn events with Weblib and Softcat were a fantastic success which opened opportunities for both businesses.
