New year, new opportunities! This month's newsletter is packed with practical tips, product updates, and webinars to help kick off March with momentum.
Here are some things to keep on your radar moving forward:
Missed the Webinar? No Worries!
See how to turn any request into send-ready quotes
Scattered customer data doesn’t just slow things down at the counter—it quietly costs you real orders. When reps can’t see the full picture, opportunities get missed, and follow-up falls apart.
Watch our webinar on demand to hear our discussion on turning any customer request into fast, send-ready quotes, powering your team to stop waiting and start driving more orders. Learn how to:
- Be the first to quote every time
- Cut manual work
- Make proactive selling easy
Growth Hub Updates
Our proactive marketing and task management solution now has faster ways to get the ball rolling with old/inactive contacts.
Many distributors start with Broadcast Text Messaging (BTM) to send quick updates like store hours, promotions, or service announcements. While effective for one-off communication, some teams want a more strategic way to engage customers and drive measurable results.
Growth Hub builds on the simplicity of texting by enabling targeted outreach, coordinated campaigns, and follow-up workflows tied to real customer and order data. Instead of broad messages, teams can deliver the right message to the right customers, helping turn everyday communication into a repeatable engine for engagement and growth.

New Features to Highlight
AI Image Reading
Your customers send photos of parts, labels, and handwritten lists every day. Now, Prokeep can read them even if you're not using full Order Automation. Turn any image into searchable, actionable text without changing how your team works today.
Automatically Build Cleaner New Contacts
Every new customer conversation is an opportunity to automatically build a complete record. Admins can now include a contact profile link right in the welcome message, so customers fill in their own details from the first text. No manual follow-up, no missing information.
AI That Knows Your Catalog (Not Just Any Catalog)
When a customer texts in a request, Prokeep's AI now searches your specific products, at your specific location, using the way your industry actually talks. Fewer mismatches, more accurate suggestions, less time spent correcting recommendations before they go out.
