LEBANON, Ohio , May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Contractor Commerce, a leading e-commerce and online sales platform built specifically for home service contractors, has announced a new strategic alliance with Ferguson, a trusted supplier of high-quality materials for the contracting industry. The collaboration is designed to support Ferguson's contractor customers in modernizing how they sell services and how they're found online, enabling contractors to meet the expectations of today's homeowners while unlocking new revenue opportunities.

By enabling contractors to sell directly from their websites, Contractor Commerce's platform makes it possible for contractors to maintain control over pricing, product offerings and customer relationships.

"Our strategic collaboration with Ferguson provides contractors a new avenue to drive sales and profitability online, all while providing the end customer with a smoother experience."

Contractor Commerce also makes contractor websites more discoverable with AI-powered search optimization, as homeowners increasingly turning AI-driven tools to find and evaluate service providers. Visibility within these platforms is becoming essential to strengthening contractors' competitive position in the buying journey.
