Shine Retrofits Joins Retrolux Network

According to a recent press release, “Retrolux, the fastest-growing lighting, and energy project development and implementation software platform, and Shine Retrofits, a national energy-efficient lighting products distributor, announced that it will be adding their full product catalog from leading manufacturers to the Retrolux platform, where it will be available to their ESCO and electrical contractor customers using the Retrolux software.

“Shine Retrofits is one of the nation’s premier digital-first lighting distributors and we are excited to offer their vast product line from top lighting manufacturers, along with their superior customer service, to customers on the Retrolux platform,” said Leif Elgethun, CEO of Retrolux. “This partnership will provide our mutual customers the ability to design, specify and order materials from various manufacturers directly from the Retrolux platform while dealing with a single supplier. It is our goal to make business easy for our customers and with our partnership with Shine, we can offer the best manufacturers and industry-leading service from a single supplier.”

Retrolux’s award-winning smart energy software makes it easy to conduct on-site audits, design, estimate, and specify products, create energy-savings proposals, order and track materials, and even project installation, all without ever leaving the platform, saving time and money through faster project close rates.

“We have partnered with Retrolux for several reasons,” said Jared Blackney, President of Shine Retrofits. “The Retrolux platform is easy to use and their team is constantly working to provide the best-in-class software on the market today. Additionally, their entire team is dedicated to customer success and their level of support is truly the best in the industry. It is an amazing solution that every retrofit lighting contractor or ESCO must have to streamline and improve their business.”

Additional Input

According to a discussion with Dean Ernst, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Retrolux:

• Shine Retrofits is the second official distributor on the platform. Previously the company signed up Rexel Energy Solutions. 
• It is important for Retrolux to support both larger national distributors as well as the smaller ones. 
  • Last year Retrolux introduced its Vendor Program in an effort to better support our customers and their projects in the Retrolux platform. Since that time we have signed up 17 manufacturers and now our second distributor with Shine Retrofits. As we continue to roll out our vendor program, we welcome additional manufacturers and distributors to join us.

 The reasons Shine Retrofits joined the platform are the following:

1. To work and collaborate with existing customers on projects in the Retrolux platform. This will streamline the product specification and ordering process by working on the project as it is being developed within the Retrolux software. 
2. To support various manufacturers that are on the Retrolux platform and their customers through a single national distributor. 
3. To work with existing Retrolux customers to aid in sourcing and ordering materials for their projects from a single source distributor.

Lighting Contractors and ESCOs are invited to join a live webinar presentation to learn more about the partnership, software, and products demo on Wednesday, June 30th at 2:00pm Eastern time. Visit https://bit.ly/3isG60y to register.
