The Athletic Dealers of America (ADA) team buying group announced plans to build a new executive office building in Viera, FL. The construction of the new building will begin later this month with staff move in scheduled for June 2014. The ADA Office has been at its current location in Melbourne, FL for the last 20 years.
“The ownership is extremely pleased with the growth of the ADA since the members purchased the company in January 2007 and the new offices represent another large step forward,” said ADA President Pete Schneider in a written statement. “The new headquarters will give us room to grow as well as enable our staff to be more responsive to our member needs.”
The ADA’s Board of Directors approved the purchase of the site and building specifications on October 14, 2013.
The ADA’s goal is to service its member/owners by developing competitive purchasing programs, rebate programs, build its annual catalog, administrate its websites (both e-commerce and B2B), assist in researching products, freight program discounts, etc. In October 2008 the ADA started a Central Billing Program to consolidate and guarantee vendor payments. This system uses an EDI platform to streamline payments to vendor partners and to enhance the profitability of ADA members.
