CenterStone Technologies, Inc, a Denver-based developer of Web software for managing sales orders for specialty retailers, announced that Ex Officio has selected CenterStone to provide business-to-business sales order management software for its retail customers. Ex Officio, a creator of adventure clothing with state-of-the-art technical features, joins a growing list of superior brands working with CenterStone to automate sales order management procedures for increased efficiency and ease-of-use.
“Since the acquisition of Ex Officio by K2, we have been focusing on a number of critical projects to strengthen our level of service to support our dealer relationships,” said Steve Bendzak, Vice President of Sales for Ex Officio. “We have partnered with one of our sister companies, Marmot, to not only move onto their wholesale computer management system, but to also work together to offer our dealers the industry's most cohesive sales and service automation tool from CenterStone Technologies.,”
Once the sales order management system is implemented, dealers and sales representatives will have the ability to review orders, check availability, and place orders on a 24/7 basis. Ex Officio will be able to decrease the elapsed time between order receipt and delivery, as well as reduce the number of calls required to place an order.
“With the execution of our software system, Ex Officio will become a vendor that dealers find simple to work with,” said Tom Detmer, president and chief executive officer of CenterStone.
“We compete in an industry filled with exceptional products and savvy retailers who know that product quality, innovations, and service drive retail sales,” said Bendzak. “Whether in Ex Officio's warehouse, accounts receivable, sales, or marketing departments we all strive to add new ideas to make our business thrive. With Ex Officio, it is imperative that exceptional quality apparel drives our brand yet without supporting our dealers with exceptional service our innovations may never reach the consumer. With the CenterStone solution we will deliver cutting-edge technology to the basic functions of order transactions and save our dealers time and frustrations, thereby increasing their productivity and creating an environment for healthy business.”
