Grow With Almo’s Managed Services

Almo is the first distributor in the AV industry to create a path for resellers to expand their reach through managed services. Most recently, Almo CONNECT was introduced to give resellers reliable, scalable and robust bandwidth for internet, live TV and advanced voice. Customers pay for this service on a monthly basis and the integrator earns a regular commission on those contracts.

Resellers can also take advantage of recurring revenue with Almo’s Content Creation Services. Through this program, digital content creation can be offered as part of the initial installation and ongoing maintenance package to build revenue, margins and customer relationships. Partners can heighten earning potential with Installation Services by “white labeling” them as their own from Almo’s well-vetted, highly trained installation services staff.

Grow With Carefully Selected Manufacturers

Almo is exclusively featuring the following products and designs from its carefully selected manufacturing partners: • ADTI Media SkyPanel™ Outdoor Direct-View LED Modular Panel with an energy-efficient design that minimizes power usage, with a lighter weight than traditional systems and affordable pricing to help boost ROI. • Elo Touch 4602L 46-inch interactive digital signage touchscreen monitor. • Samsung Consumer 65-inch curved LED 4K UHD TV and 4K UHD Blu-ray player. • tvONE CORIOmaster Mini processor configured to power a “windmill-style” video wall. Additional manufacturers with integrated products on display in the Almo booth include Bose Professional, NEC, Sharp, LG Professional, Peerless-AV, Chief, Epson, Barco, DaLite, TouchSystems and more.
