Boon Edam Inc., a pioneer in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, announces the opening of three Service Centers in Washington, D.C., New York City, and Atlanta. Each Service Center supports customers in the immediate surrounding states, making it easier to receive product installation services, planned preventative maintenance, and quick response to service calls on the East Coast. These service centers are strategically located in areas of the country where thousands of Boon Edam entry products have been installed in dense metropolitan areas. Potential security breach Revolving doors and security turnstiles are much like automobiles in that they require regular maintenance for the best performance and return on the owners' investment. The consequences of an out of order entrance can be significant to a business, ranging from user inconvenience and added costs all the way up to a potential security breach. To prevent these negative outcomes, Boon Edam Inc. continues to invest in the technical training and support of its network of dealers and partners across all the Americas to facilitate excellence in installation and service and prevent outages before they happen. As the number of Boon Edam entrance installations has increased over the years in certain metro areas, so has the need for technical expertise. Providing efficient support All Boon Edam service technicians work exclusively on Boon Edam entrances every day To provide efficient support to partners, resellers, and end user customers, the company is opening three new service centers, each managed by a Senior Technical Manager. All Boon Edam service technicians work exclusively on Boon Edam entrances every day and are intimately familiar with the latest configuration updates, parts requirements, and mechanical revisions. For the entrance owners and reseller partners in the service center areas, this translates to a level of expertise that can quickly service or troubleshoot an entrance with minimum disruption or downtime. This model has proven successful and Boon Edam intends to continue to invest in this service and support model to ensure they provide an unmatched customer experience. Planned preventative maintenance Service is a key component of what they call, The Boon Edam Experience, says Al Vandine, Service Sales Manager at Boon Edam Inc. Their service centers allow them to better meet the high expectations of the customers and provide more onsite and installation support to their dealers and partners in those locations. Their stance is a proactive one; they can bring unmatched expertise, common parts kits and equipment to bear within a matter of hours for a service call, installation, or planned preventative maintenance visit. And they are dedicated and focused on Boon Edam solutions, which means they can resolve issues very quickly.

Boon Edam Inc., a global provider of security entrances and architectural revolving doors, announced that the company has hired a new Service Sales Manager and further expanded its national and enterprise sales teams to support continued strong demand for security entrance solutions in the Americas.
