Rexel and Parspec Expand Partnership to Launch Next-Generation Digital Platform for Contractors

Rexel USA, Dallas, TX, a national leader in the distribution of electrical products and Parspec, an AI-native technology company serving the construction supply chain, today announced a major expansion of their strategic partnership.

Building on a year of digital transformation of Rexel’s internal sales and project management processes, the two companies are now joining forces to improve how Rexel collaborates with its customers by delivering a best-in-class digital platform that will enable customers to access project documents, get current order status and tracking information and communicate with stakeholders across all of their Rexel projects in real time.

“This partnership represents a pivotal step forward in advancing Rexel’s vision to create a more efficient and connected electrical supply chain through digital innovation,” said Roger Little, CEO of Rexel USA, in the press release. “Parspec has been instrumental in digitizing one of the most operationally intensive parts of our business, paving the way for our next major step: enabling seamless collaboration between contractors and Rexel USA in a unified digital environment. This advancement will streamline operations, enhance customer visibility and control, improve project management and ultimately deliver exceptional outcomes for our customers."

Rexel said in the press release that over the past 12 months, Parspec’s software has been successfully deployed across all of its U.S.  regions, with over 1,000 users generating more than 7,500 quotes and 1,000 submittal packages each month. Jordan Lomheim, senior VP and Chief Strategy Officer at Rexel USA said in the press release that the company’s project teams reported meaningful benefits, including a 28% average reduction in time to quote; 52% time savings in submittal preparation; and a +7.5% increase in project bids across the company.”

The press release said Parspec and Rexel have begun co-developing a solution to streamline how awarded projects are managed -- bringing contractors and Rexel teams onto a shared platform to coordinate on submittals, change orders, delivery timelines and field execution. The solution will replace fragmented legacy workflows and enable real-time collaboration throughout the lifecycle of a project.

“There is a tremendous opportunity to improve efficiency and collaboration between manufacturers, distributors and contractors throughout the project lifecycle by leveraging modern web-based workflows and cutting-edge AI technology,” said Forest Flager, CEO of Parspec, in the press release. “We’re excited to partner with Rexel to deliver these capabilities to the market.”

Input from Rexel’s project teams and contractor partners is actively shaping the design of the platform. Pilot engagements are already underway, and the commercial launch of Parspec’s Order Management module and Contractor Portal is expected by the end of 2025.
