Yardi Forms Pro Partnership with Lowe’s

In its latest offering to professional customers, Lowe’s has partnered with Yardi – the provider of property and asset management software.

The move gives pro customers on the Yardi platform a streamlined way to shop for their business at Lowe’s.

Beginning
in January, property management professionals who require a fully
automated end-to-end procurement and invoice processing platform can
directly route their LowesForPros.com orders through approvals and
fulfillment at their local store via the platform.

“Our partnership with Yardi demonstrates our continued progress in
making it easier for Pros to grow their businesses with us,” said Fred
Stokes, Lowe’s senior vice president, pro sales and services. “Over the
past year, we have focused on meeting the basic needs of our pro
customers and now we are investing in new partnerships and improved
experiences to better serve this important customer.”

According to Lowe’s, customer benefits from the partnership include:

  • Customers can create custom catalogs for frequently-purchased products to make recurring purchases quick and easy
  • Access purchase history reports for all employees
  • Set-up and manage tax-exemptions online
  • Access Lowe’s Business Account support online and in-store
  • Gain customer-specific pricing online
  • Purchase contractor pack offers online
  • Control spend and help protect against fraud with purchase approvals

In addition to the partnership with Yardi, Lowe’s said that it has
expanded its e-procurement offerings to customers, creating a seamless
shopping experience from purchase to payment.

Lowe’s also said that by having the right technology and partnerships
in place, it allows the retailer to work with property management
professionals who require a fully automated end-to-end procurement and
invoice processing platform.

“Yardi works with thousands of client properties whose needs differ,
and our partnership with Lowe’s gives our users access to countless
services and products to continue growing their business,” said Akshai
Rao, vice president of Yardi Procure to Pay. “With such a wide selection
of products on LowesForPros.com, clients can find exactly what they
need to get the job done.”
