His responsibilities have included many management roles including marketing, ERP integration, and distribution center operations.

“Bill will be a great asset to IDC-USA not only because of his product and industry expertise, but also for his system integration knowledge and data management skills. Bill will help us streamline our processes going forward, and he will help enhance our data management systems as we continue to expand our IDC Marketplace initiative,” stated George Graham, president and CEO of IDC-USA.

“I am eager to utilize my experience within industrial distribution at IDC-USA. I feel this is the ideal environment to apply my accumulated knowledge to assist in process improvements wherever possible and practical. I look forward to continuing the dedication to customer needs that sets independent distributors apart in the industry. My ultimate goal is to help our members close more sales more profitably. We will work in every way possible to streamline the supply chain to the benefit of our members and suppliers,” commented Jacobs. 

Jacobs’ primary focus will be assuming responsibility for the Member Services group and will also become more involved with IDC Marketplace and warehousing operations over time. “Bill will be a great addition in our continuous quest to add value to our Owner-Distributors and our Preferred Supplier Partners,” Graham said.
