Stone Services Group Adds to Product Portfolio
CHICAGO – Stone Services Group (SSG) is now partnering with StoneGrid LLC and Granite Gold Inc. in a widening of the fabricator-services company’s focus.
SSG’s linkup with StoneGrid brings the StoneApp business software to the company, combining the marketing and sales strength of SSG with the preeminent enterprise resource planning software company.
The Granite Gold partnership enables SSG to market and sell the Granite Gold® Countertop Protection plan.
The StoneApp system performs all business tasks needed for small to large shops to effectively manage their jobs with an interface that is simple to understand and use. It communicates and manages jobs from customer leads all the way through installation and every function in-between.
From its inception in 2019, SSG has had a strong interest in providing an ERP solution to fabricators.
“We can’t overstate how impressive the StoneApp software package is and how committed to the industry Raj and his team are,” says Rich Katzmann, managing partner at SSG, “For essentially the same price as other less broad products, this thing does it all. Every function and command in the software was developed with our industry in mind. You can really tell these guys have fabricated thousands of countertops in their lives.”
The Granite Gold® Countertop Protection Plan, sold nationally through fabricators, covers accidental damage to countertops for a period of five years. All post-sale service calls will be handled by Granite Gold’s customer service and nationwide network of repair professionals. The plan covers granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, limestone, slate, soapstone and travertine countertops in both kitchens and baths.
“We are very excited to be working with Lenny Sciarrino and his team to drive this product into our industry. It just makes so much sense that for $299 , which averages to just less than $5 per month, consumers can feel the security that their investment will look as good at year five as it did when installed.” Katzmann says. “There is no cost for the fabricator to launch this program and we’ll provide all training and literature.”
Founded in 2019, Stone Services Group is a fabricator-focused firm offering growth, placement, training, scheduling and technology services to the countertop industry by utilizing more than 50 years of expertise across many key areas of a shop. SSG is currently working with best-in-class software brands such as Hot Sauce, Quote Countertop and SpeedDRAW/SpeedLABEL.
The company is anchored by Katzmann who, in addition to formerly running Laser Products, has been CEO of the nation’s largest templating and programming firm, an active member of Women in Stone and a director of NSI’s Foundation, focused on giving back to the industry.
