Landis has completed the process of absorbing Ilion by reorganising into four independent businesses and moving the distribution company onto a single order-processing system.

Mike Watkins, managing director of Landis ICT, said previously resellers had to deal with two separate systems.

Paul Drover, purchasing manager at reseller ECS, said he had to remind Landis to "check their other warehouse".

The new Landis Group companies are Landis ICT Solutions, Landis ICT Training, Landis Services and Landis Facilities.

Watkins said Landis Solutions aims to get more involved in resellers' projects and increase its contact with end-users. He added that Landis will launch an e-commerce site in a couple of months, where resellers not needing to use any pre-sales services will be able to order products at the lowest prices.
