LightPro Software And b-efficient Announce Strategic Partnership To More Effectively Audit, Specify And Retrofit Advanced Lighting Systems Worldwide

CORTE MADERA, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LightPro Software, LLC and b-efficient, Inc. announced today a strategic alliance to address the increasing complexity for lighting and electrical contractors, manufacturers, distributors and ESCO's to audit and specify advanced lighting solutions in commercial and industrial settings.

The b-efficient product catalog will be integrated into LightPro's database to be easily specified for advanced lighting retrofit projects. b-efficient will also recommend the LightPro platform for use by all its Solutions Partners in the U.S. and Australia.

"We want to assure that the correct b-efficient or other lighting product will be specified and installed at the lowest cost," stated Chris Bennett, b-efficient Vice President, "With LightPro Audit, Field and Backoffice, our Solutions Partners will be more competitive and efficient. And audits and installs will always meet investment-grade criteria so we can quickly finance the retrofit at the lowest rates when our clients require."

LightPro seeks to provide the most current product data to enable the lighting industry to keep up with the increasing pace of change.  By partnering with leading lighting partners such as b-efficient, LightPro helps lighting auditors and installers to specify the highest level of quality and customer service at the most cost-effective price.

LightPro CEO Chick Bornheim said, "Collaborating with b-efficient is an important milestone for LightPro, not only because they will be introducing our software to International markets, but because b-efficient understands the need for a comprehensive platform that enables their Solutions Partners to streamline the audit and specification procedures and manage the design and installation of advanced lighting technologies more efficiently. LightPro is designed by Lighting Pros for Lighting Pros, like b-efficient, to manage and streamline the entire lighting project life cycle for a distinct competitive advantage."

LightPro will launch the first two modules: LightPro Audit and LightPro Field at LightFair 2014. They are located at Booth 4549. LightPro Backoffice and LightPro Finance will be made available later in 2014 as well as Salesforce and QuickBooks integration.
