Teams that know fixtures, finishes, and lead times.
Lighting moves on specs, finishes, and availability. ADBM builds dedicated teams that handle quoting, order entry, and customer service for lighting distributors and showrooms — fluent in the catalog, fast on the follow-up.
Get startedLighting is detail work
Wrong finish, wrong voltage, wrong lead time — small errors cost real money and burn showroom relationships. ADBM places people who learn the lighting catalog and the vendors behind it, so quotes go out right and orders land on time.
Built for showrooms and distributors
From decorative and residential to commercial and spec-driven work, we staff the desks that keep lighting moving: quoting, expediting, order management, and the customer follow-up that turns a browse into a sale.

A fast-scaling lighting design and material-supply firm embedded an offshore project-management assistant — delivering projects faster while leadership stayed focused on nationwide expansion.
Faster quotes, sharper post-sales support
A commercial-and-residential lighting design studio added an offshore quotation and post-sales associate — faster, more accurate quotes and freed-up senior time, at about 72% lower cost.
Lighting insights
Staffing a lighting showroom without adding onshore payroll
Lighting is detail work — finishes, voltages, lead times, and designers who expect fast answers. Here's how a dedicated offshore team keeps a showroom first-call without stacking salaries.
Read →Why building materials distributors are losing the labor game
Onshore hiring is slower, pricier, and harder to keep than it was five years ago. Here's why the math broke — and the model that fixes it without gutting quality.
Read →Lighting staffing — common questions
How much does offshore staffing for a lighting distributor or showroom cost?+
Typically 60–80% less than a comparable U.S. hire. A dedicated offshore quotation or post-sales associate for a lighting business often runs around 70% below the domestic equivalent, with benefits and overhead included — you're adding a full-time team member, not renting shared hours.
Which lighting roles should I offshore first?+
Start with the quote desk and post-sales coordination — it's steady, high-volume work that pulls your showroom team away from selling. From there, order entry, expediting, and customer service are the natural next roles.
Will an offshore team actually know lighting products — finishes, voltage, lead times?+
Yes. We recruit for aptitude to learn a detailed catalog and train each person on your specific lines, vendors, and systems, then keep them for years so that knowledge compounds instead of resetting.
How fast can a lighting support role start?+
Usually a few weeks from scoping the role to the person's first day, depending on complexity and volume.
