(PRWEB) June 22, 2005 -- CenterStone Technologies, Inc., an internationally
recognized developer of Web-based sales order management software for
manufacturers of sporting goods, recreation products, apparel and footwear
selling through specialty retailers, today announced the availability of
iVendix, its second-generation Sales Order Management
application.
CenterStone makes it easier and more profitable for vendors
to do business with specialty retailers by driving increased sales while also
reducing order costs by as much as 75%,” said Tom Detmer, president and C.E.O.
of CenterStone. “Until recently, our efforts were focused on North American
markets. With the launch of iVendix we can now provide our clients with the
truly global solution today’s business environment
requires.”
CenterStone’s iVendix solution will help advance the global
business interests of those CenterStone clients that already have an
international presence as well as those with international aspirations.
CenterStone’s iVendix global application is already receiving orders from 16
countries in Europe in 5 languages and 7 currencies. The technology is now
proven in markets outside of North America.
The iVendix application is
also available with an Off-Line module that is designed to allow sales reps to
work more effectively while they are on the road visiting accounts, showing the
line, and taking preseason and re-stocking orders. It allows sales reps to take
orders while in the field, synch up the orders at the end of the day, and
transmit those orders into the vendor’s ERP system. The Off-Line application has
been particularly well-received by sales reps in Europe. It is anticipated to be
just as well-received by sales reps in North America where there is a need for
such a tool to help with the large volume of preseason business that is placed
through sales reps. Sales reps in North America who are using the current
CenterStone technology have seen a 30% increase in productivity. The Off-Line
enhancement offered by iVendix, will make these sales reps and others, even more
effective.
A blue chip list of well-respected, world-wide brands
currently using CenterStone’s technology including: The North Face, Helly
Hansen, Ripcurl, Ex Officio, Marmot, Pearl Izumi, KHS Bicycles, Jansport, Sport
Obermeyer and many others.
