We know that retailers and distributors in the hearth, fireplace, patio and barbeque industry have specific needs. One of the ways we help meet these needs is by working with numerous hearth manufacturers and suppliers so you can quickly
update all of your prices and part numbers -- and we continually supply updates that load in just a few minutes...
Some of the manufacturers we work with include: Heat-N-Glo, Heatilator, DuraVent, Lennox, Aladdin Hearth Products, Copperfield Chimney Supply, The Ducane Company, Vermont Castings, and more!
"Purchasing Ideal is one of the best business decisions I've made in
the 25+ years I've been in business. I'd recommend it to anybody who is truly interested in bringing their business to a
new level of play."

has saved us. We like being able to check the order status for a customer right on the phone - makes us look
more professional. And it helps us manage the business better. The End of Day report shows us immediately what
the profit picture is like. We think the system and the people at Ideal are great. We wish we'd found you sooner!"
