INSTALLERSUPPORT
NEW ‘WONDER’ TECHNOLOGY MAKES IT EASY FOR
INSTALLERS TO SELL AND HOMEOWNERS TO BUY
TommyTrinder.com Ltd has launched its
new Framepoint Technology® so installers
can sell with a ‘Wow’. Designed by installers
for installers, it makes it easy to sell all types
of windows and doors – regardless of
manufacturer and material – via an interface
that’s as simple as sketching on a pad.
» DEVELOPER CHRIS BRUNSDON HAS
a great track record in the window market.
Having started life in a family-owned retail
window company, he set up the hugely
successful, national TimberWindows.com
(www.timberwindows.com), selling it after six
years. He then established Jack Brunsdon &
Son (www.jackbrunsdon.co.uk), growing it to
a chain of 10 branches before selling that to
Inwido after two years.
“Buying windows should be enjoyable, like
kitchens, but usually it’s anything but because
the industry has made it hard for the installer
to sell – and hard for homeowners to buy,”
says Chris. “The number of products installers
sell has mushroomed as they try to offer what
customers demand. But every product has
different sales aids and software. It’s virtually
impossible for installers to juggle them all.
So, installers use a hotchpotch of brochures,
websites, desktop software and apps, and their
own portfolio - or a brochure and little else
because it’s so difficult to manage them all in
the home.”
Chris says this is a problem because the
whole industry relies completely on how well
installers sell: systems companies, hardware,
software, glass, the media, and fabricators.
If installers aren’t selling well, the market
suffers, and everyone along the chain is
held back. That’s the problem he set out to
solve.
“Most configurators, for example, are
designed from the perspective of manufacturers
to help installers order ‘correctly’ and lock
them in,” Chris explains. But, with his installer
background and a top technical team, Chris
designed Tommy Trinder’s Framepoint
Technology® with a sole focus on helping
installers sell and homeowners buy.
After six years of research and listening
to installers, Tommy Trinder’s Framepoint
Technology® was soft launched at the end of
2019.
“Framepoint Technology® injects real
professionalism into the installer’s pitch -
it actually allows homeowners to sell the
windows and doors to themselves.” Chris
concludes.
