The sales force is also supported by centralized customer service centres and additional resources in product management, purchasing, inventory control, and sales management. Each Branch serves one or more designated market segments:

- Construction Projects
- Government Business
- International Project Support
- Data Communications
- Supply Chain Solutions
Global Accounts:
Within WESCO's sales force, we have specific sales personnel dedicated to large customers with multi-locations that we call Global Accounts. Our Global Accounts sales force coordinates Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) procurement and materials management activities across multiple locations for industry-leading industrial and commercial companies.
WESCO's industry-focused Global Account Managers develop service and supply programs tailored to customers' specific requirements. Joined by specialists in implementation and cost improvement, and an expert group of contract administrators and pricing analysts, WESCO's Global Account Managers lead teams that combine national marketing and sales support with local product fulfillment and services through a network of 400 Branches throughout North America.
Marketing:
Because of the wide range and sheer number of products (215,000+ SKUs) our Branches and Distribution Centres stock, comprehensive marketing support for our sales force is essential to WESCO.
