Trade Hounds

80% of tradespeople we polled on Trade Hounds said they Google products on the job due to confusing, inconsistent names. As electrical apprentice Shannon Tymosko shared during our recent panel at the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors Executive Summit, navigating product names—whether slang, catalog, or manufacturer terms—is a major challenge, especially for newcomers. Trade Hounds’ new AI image search feature lets you snap a photo of a product and instantly identify its brand, name, and nearby distributors, making it easier for everyone—especially apprentices—to find the right products fast. ??
