July 2026 Software Updates

Pricing Changes & Product News

As we approach July 1st, we wanted to provide an update on software releases, upcoming pricing adjustments, new product introductions, and items being discontinued.

Software Updates

New software updates will be available on the Agents Only website on or before July 1, 2026.

RPM

Version: FTP 07.01.26.0A Release 1F2 Global

RDS

Version: July 2026 Release #01a

Upcoming Price Changes

Like many manufacturers, we continue to experience increases in raw material costs from several suppliers. These increases will be reflected in the July 1, 2026 pricing update.

Powder Coating Materials

Effective May 18, 2026, we incurred a 14.5% increase in the cost of powder coating raw materials.

It’s important to note that this does not mean powder-coated products will increase by 14.5%. Raw materials represent only a portion of the total manufacturing cost. Labor, production, and overhead expenses make up a larger percentage of the finished product cost.

HandiWall Products

Effective May 1, 2026, HandiWall implemented a 6% price increase across all product categories, including:

• Panels
• Trim
• Screws
• Accessories

Melamine

We have been notified of an additional melamine price increase scheduled for June 15, 2026. At this time, the exact amount of the increase has not been announced.

Once finalized, the updated pricing will be incorporated into the July RPM release.

Important Reminder

All new pricing becomes effective July 1, 2026, regardless of whether your software has been updated.

Upcoming Pricing Update – Effective April 15

We want to keep you informed of a small upcoming pricing adjustment tied to raw material costs.

We have received a price increase from our melamine supplier, which will result in a minimal price increase. This adjustment is strictly related to raw material costs—there are no changes to our manufacturing costs.

This update will go into effect April 15th with the next software release.

What this means for you:

• You may notice a slight increase on jobs already quoted once they are updated or finalized after April 15
• The overall impact is expected to be very minimal

As always, we’re committed to transparency and wanted to communicate this ahead of time so you can plan accordingly.

If you have any questions or need help reviewing active quotes, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for your continued partnership and support.
