The main objectives of the agreement are to expand the manufacturer's product offering throughout the country, provide channels with high added value opportunities and consolidate the brand's presence with partners, with robust solutions for highly complex environments.
Ingram Micro Brazil is the new distributor of Control iD in the domestic market. With the agreement, the manufacturer's entire electronic security line will be offered by the Brazilian subsidiary of one of the leading global distributors of IT solutions and services, especially through its Advanced Solutions business unit. Among the greatest advantages of the partnership for resellers is the possibility of purchasing Control iD products directly from one of the largest distribution channels in the world, without the need to fragment the purchase among several suppliers.
Control iD is recognized for its high-quality access control solutions, which include advanced facial recognition, fingerprint, proximity cards, turnstiles and management software technologies, among others. “For Ingram Micro, this partnership represents an important opportunity to expand the portfolio and offer more added value,” explains Roberto Gero, product director of the Advanced Solutions unit at Ingram Micro Brazil. “Control iD’s solutions strengthen the possibilities of electronic security in various types of projects and allow the channel to establish new strategic partnerships. For the manufacturer, Ingram Micro will be a great catalyst for the dissemination of its products, including support and training for resellers.”
As part of its strategy, Ingram Micro will support its channels in various sectors, such as government, healthcare, finance and retail, including the distribution of Control iD solutions tailored to the specific needs of each of these segments. “The security market is growing increasingly, and with it, the need for a solid distribution chain also increases. With the support of Ingram Micro, our products will be easily found by customers, installers, resellers and integrators,” highlights Diego dos Santos Rodrigues, Business Development Director at Control iD. “We have expanded our production capacity, our product line and, most importantly, increased the supply of technological innovations in a highly competitive manner.”
Control iD is a Brazilian company, part of the ASSA ABLOY group, specialized in the development of hardware and software for electronic security, commercial automation and human resources management. To meet the needs and exceed the expectations of micro, small, medium and large companies, the company constantly invests in research and innovation, operating in the market with the latest technologies at competitive prices.
According to data from the Brazilian Association of Electronic Security Systems Companies (Abese), the Brazilian electronic security market had a turnover of R$11 billion in 2022 and approximately R$13.09 billion in 2023, a growth of 19%. For 2024, an increase from 15% to 20% is estimated, driven by the growing demand for more advanced and integrated security solutions, such as surveillance systems with artificial intelligence and personalized home automation, which have contributed significantly to the expansion of the sector.
In this context, Gero highlights that “the great differentiator of Ingram Micro in this partnership is the offer of products as solutions in unified projects, guaranteeing delivery and functionality with a greater national presence. Ingram Micro has a wide network of resellers and regional offices in several cities in Brazil, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Porto Alegre and Recife”.
