HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN) announced today that it has partnered with SumoQuote. The partnership includes a seamless integration of SumoQuote’s technology with Beacon’s eCommerce platform, Beacon PRO+, to deliver a streamlined process to build custom quotes.

“Through strategic investments in new technology like SumoQuote, we’re helping contractors save time, manage their work more efficiently, and enhance their business,” said Jonathan Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer at Beacon. “This integration with Beacon PRO+ will help contractors create custom, accurate quotes for each client in minutes so they can win more jobs. We are pleased to continue to add digital integrations which are an element of our Ambition 2025 growth plans.”
