CenterStone Technologies, Inc. has announced the availability of Malone Auto Racks on the companys online sales order management software application.
Larry Malone, president of Malone Auto Racks, had the following to say: “We are pleased to be working with CenterStone Technologies and joining brand names such as The North Face, Marmot, and Helly Hansen. The CenterStone Technologies sales order management system will provide Malone dealers with a 24/7 access window for product information and real-time order processing.”
Confirming the benefits of CenterStone, Chris “Oz” Ozmundson, owner of Flatiron Sports in Crested Butte, Colorado said the following: “We were introduced to CenterStone's online sales order management application about four years ago. It has made ordering from suppliers who use the system much easier and has increased sales at my store. We are a destination resort, so it is really important for me to be able to place a special order when my customer is in the store, and know that I can have it while they are still here on vacation. CenterStone lets me pull the trigger while the customer is standing there. I don't have to call, be put on hold or leave a message and wait to hear back from a supplier, which can be a two-day process. Having access to CenterStone's application saves me up to three steps. As a result, I have increased my spending by as much as $5,000 to $8,000 with suppliers who offer CenterStone because it is so much easier to work with them. I have the whole catalog in front of me, which makes preseason ordering easier. I also receive an e-mail order confirmation the same day I place my order. I can see it, order it and have it in the next day or two.”
Malone went on to say, “The market for automobile rack systems has grown increasingly complex and expensive for the small, outdoor retail dealer. Using CenterStone Technologies, Malone dealers can get product on the shelf faster and easier. Our goal is to make Malone the brand that our dealers prefer because we are the best to do business with. The addition of the CenterStone Technologies product will strongly support that goal.”
Tom Detmer, president and CEO of CenterStone Technologies, Inc., commented, “Because CenterStone already has thousands of retailers currently using the solution, Malones adoption of CenterStone for sales order management will allow them to compete more effectively. Dealers and sales reps have been very quick to embrace the CenterStone solution, and we expect that Malones choice of CenterStone will have a significant, positive impact on their business. Currently more than 8,000 retailers have access to the on-line solution, and this extensive dealer base should be a great benefit to Larry as he looks to grow the Malone Auto Rack business.”
