Distributes IT hardware and software to resellers
Ingram Micro is a technology distributor that sits between the companies that make IT products and the resellers, managed service providers and retailers that sell them to businesses. Its Xvantage digital platform lets partners search catalogs, check pricing, place orders and manage cloud subscriptions in one place. Behind the platform, it runs warehouses and logistics across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, plus services such as device repair, reverse logistics and IT asset disposal. It makes money on the spread between what it pays vendors and what resellers pay, plus fees for cloud and lifecycle services. Ingram Micro was founded in 1979 as Micro D and is based in Irvine, California.
