Why Independent Reps for Automation & Controls Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

Integrator & OEM Access

Reps who already spec PLCs, drives, and sensors with system integrators and OEMs can add your solution fast.

Trusted OT Advisors

They speak the language of maintenance, engineering, and operations to overcome downtime risk.

Proof-Driven Pilots

Experienced reps set up pilots and ROI cases to move projects from test to rollout.

The Problem

Are your automation pilots dying in IT/OT limbo?

Without trusted controls reps, plant teams won’t risk downtime and IT blocks deployments over security and compatibility.

No OT Champion

Engineers and maintenance won’t swap hardware without someone they trust on-site.

Integrator Loyalty

System integrators default to brands they already know unless a rep brings proof and support.

Long Sales Cycles

Complex approvals across IT, OT, and procurement stall deals for months.

The Solution

Use reps embedded with integrators and plant teams.

Zilla Sales connects you with automation reps who already spec solutions with integrators, OEMs, and plant engineers.

Technical Call Point Matching

Filter by relationships with controls engineers, plant managers, and IT security.

Pilot & Integration Support

Reps who can coordinate trials, interoperability checks, and training.
