How can we help?

Purdicom is a value-added distributor. We love what we do – ensuring our customers have everything they need to win more business. From pre-sales technical support through marketing material, we can help you provide a complete solution that you can take directly to your customers and end-users.

Our value-add really sets us apart. We are more than just your standard box-shifting distributor. We encourage great relationships with our vendors to ensure our customers get the best products on the market. We test, use and demo all the kit we sell, right here in our offices. This means if you ever have any issues, you will benefit from our deep working knowledge and understanding of the products we use every day.

As a tight knit, relatively small company, we’re able to offer value add in ways others cannot; our Sales Team and Technical Team work together, sitting side by side to plan and execute a working solution that you can take you straight to your customers.

After you’ve had your heat map, our Technical Team can come to your customers site and offer a free, pre-sales, site plan to inform you of what kit is required and where it is best deployed. This ensures when you’re quoted for kit, you’ll know everything you need is included.

Access Point Labelling

We offer a unique labelling service where we can apply a customised label of your choice to each Access Point, remove any single-use plastic and document all MAC Addresses and Serial Numbers ready for the Access Points to be deployed in their final location.

Training

To benefit from the most preferential pricing structures and all the perks of becoming a certified reseller, most of our vendors require you to be accredited. This protects the channel and ensures only the best installs to end-users. Let us enable you with accredited training.

To save you time when on site, our Technical Team will pre-stage all your equipment. Our qualified engineers will configure the equipment from your requirements and provide a full report containing all backup files, usernames/passwords and a quick start guide to get you up and running smoothly.

Commissioning

Our qualified engineers offer installation configuration services for all our products, ensuring they are configured to the manufacturer best practices. We conduct a full statement of works document prior to the installation to gather your requirements and provide a full testing documentation and implementation report so you can see the system configuration.

Pre-Installation Site Surveys

To guarantee successful access point placement and coverage, we offer pre-installation site surveys using Ekahau site survey tools. These surveys are an essential component of WLAN design The wireless networks must be reliable and efficiently utilise the RF spectrum to give maximum throughput to the client device.

Post-Installation Site Survey

After installation our team can make recommendations within the live environment for how the wireless network can be further optimised. We use Ekahau site survey tools to provide your report and with this suite, we can guarantee you are able to maximise your return on investment. We can implement any recommendations while still on site.

Line of Sight Survey

For fixed wireless applications (Cambium Outdoor and Siklu) we offer a line-of-sight survey to determine whether a wireless link is viable between nodes and  the availability of the link can be guranteed at the desired performance level. This includes any cabling requirements and the closest network cabinets for installation.

NFR Kit

‘Not for Resale’ (NFR) kit can be purchased at a heavily discounted rate. This can be used to demo, practice installs or configuration or can be used to show your end-users what the kit actually looks like. NFR helps you to explore new features as and when they’re released so you can trial a range of kit before taking it to your marketplace.

Most of our value-add come to you at no cost, however some professional services are subject to price on application.
