Facilisgroup (PPAI 493664), an industry business platform and technology services provider, has released a benchmark study to its member partners showing they reached an average of 10 percent year-over-year growth in 2018, beating the industry average. According to the study, Facilisgroup distributors completed $767 million in sales from industry suppliers.

This growth was demonstrated by a record 232 partner sales reps being honored at Facilisgroup’s annual Top Achieving Sales Awards ceremony and bash in Las Vegas. A rep must achieve minimum sales of $750,000 to be recognized as a Facilis Achiever. In addition to the honor, they receive exclusive perks and rewards. Facilisgroup also named SanMar as Supplier of Year for the second year in a row. Brand Makers in Salt Lake City, Utah, achieved 20 percent growth and was named Partner of the Year.

Facilisgroup made improvements last year that contributed to its members’ success. In addition to infrastructure improvements, the company released new interactive marketing tools in its @ease software and added a spec sample tool integrated into their award-winning Signature Collection websites.

“We’re proud to celebrate our partners’ achievements and excited to be part of their continued growth. Every year, I’m proud of the community we’ve built with our partners,” says Chuck Fandos, CEO of Facilisgroup.

Facilisgroup was acquired late last year by private equity firm, Elysian Capital LLC, and became part of a new entity, the Pebble Group. As a result, in 2019 Facilisgroup partners will begin to benefit from accelerated investment and service enhancements.
