ARI Network Services, Inc. announced January 5 that it signed an agreement with The Toro Company to build and host Toro-branded websites for its network of residential and landscape contractor equipment dealers throughout North America. Leveraging the power of ARI's award-winning dealer website platform, the branded sites offer Toro dealers easy access to the company's full library of pre-loaded inventory data and the latest information on new products and promotions. In addition, the Toro- branded dealer websites will be the exclusive approved sites to which the company's online dealer locator will point. Dealers will have the option to link from their respective Toro-branded website to a new or existing dealer website. "ARI has given us a solution that provides our dealers with a fully Toro-branded online experience for the 2016 spring selling season," said Rob Little, marketing director for Toro's residential & landscape contractor businesses. "We'll now be better equipped to help our dealers promote Toro's strongest offers through up-to-date banners and other information we'll auto-populate on their Toro-branded pages." "We are excited to work with Toro to offer its dealers a seamless, branded online experience to drive online leads and in-store sales," said Roy W. Olivier, ARI president and CEO.
