    • A core strength of the IWDC is our Vendor Agreements, which enable our Members to compete on a level playing field - and often even give them an advantage in the marketplace.

  • Expense Control Program
    • The IWDC Expense Control Program is made up of 50-plus industry- and non-industry-related Vendor products and services that are offered to our Members to help control their “bottom line” costs of doing business. Members can take advantage of shipping programs, industry consulting, fleet leasing, payroll and credit card services, rental car programs, and more. In offering these Expense Control Programs to our Members, we allow them to focus their spending on products and services that immediately impact their business.
Each of these programs has but one primary goal: to improve a distributor’s business and give it a greater competitive edge in the marketplace. Couple these programs with our renowned best practices and our generous rebate program, and you’ve got a surefire recipe for success. If you’d like still more information on our various programs and how they can benefit you, please contact the IWDC.
