Touchplan Partner Newsletter | February 2022

Hello Partners!

We are already off and running in 2022! January proved to be a great month for Touchplan and the partnerships team. The AEC technology and consulting space is booming with new, innovative solutions with a great deal of talented people, and we are discovering new companies almost daily! Expect our referral program to expand exponentially over the next few months.

We recently welcomed a new member to our Reseller Partnerships Team, Samantha Hart! Sam will be onboarding and assisting resellers around the world and comes to Touchplan with experience in channel management and sales and we are excited to have her join the Touchplan family!

A special welcome to all our new Partners! As we continue to add Reseller Partners, Referral Partners and Technology Alliance Partners to the Touchplan Ecosystem each month, I continue to be excited about the great work we can do together to positively change the construction industry to improve project certainty!

Happy February!

Successful Client Referral from Adam Hoots at Construction ACHE Solutions

We are regularly adding new consultants and referral partners, and all of the work we put in over the last six months is starting to show returns! One of our first Lean Coach referral partners, Adam Hoots at Construction ACHE Solutions successfully referred a client to Touchplan as a part of his Lean coaching program. His client was impressed with his delivery of an on-site LPS training session, and immediately saw the need to digitize the process. The client signed with Touchplan within 48 hours of Adam’s referral. We’re excited about what Adam will continue to do in the future, and are ecstatic to have him as a partner!
