About Us
Who we are and what we do
Who we are
BVD International Inc, a company incorporated in Barbados, is the regional distributor in the Caribbean for leading professional audio and video brands. We combine deep product knowledge with technical expertise to deliver complete solutions across commercial, conferencing, broadcast and performance applications.
Serving audiovisual systems integrators
The extensive skills and experience we hold are not common in our target market, the Caribbean islands. Our business model is to operate as a product distributor with many value-added services. Central to our strategy is a firm commitment to our clients, who are systems integrators: we will never sell products directly to end users, and we will never engage in integration ourselves.
We operate purely as a supplier of products, along with all the technical support required, to audiovisual integrators. We conduct marketing to vertical markets for brand awareness, but only to stimulate sales for our integration clients.
Advantages to AV integrators
- One point of contact for the multiple products required for a solution
- A high standard of product knowledge and technical support
- Dedicated resources to actively support their needs
Support for end users
Vertical-market end users of audiovisual products — in hospitality, corporate, education and beyond — often face difficulty deciding how to procure audiovisual solutions. Specialist consultant services are costly, yet relying on a single systems integrator can tie the client to that company’s products and methods.
BVD International offers a full system design service, as well as preparation of generic system specifications, so a client can call for comparable proposals from several vendors — with no obligation to any vendor, nor to BVD International. We recognise the systems integrator is vital to any successful project, and so we will never bid on the total solution to the end user; instead we support and supply the integrators invited to bid.
What we offer
We work with suitably qualified and certified systems integrators to deliver complete turnkey solutions. Because clients need full solutions, not just products, we also provide:
- System design
- Preparation of sales and technical drawings
- Sourcing and supply of hardware
- Shipping of product to country of destination & logistics management
- Programming and design files
- Technical support for commissioning
- Arrangement of outsourced installation and systems engineering skills
- Assistance with sales presentations
