CenterStone Technologies, Inc., announced that Garmont NA of Williston, Vt., is “live” on the iVendix online B2B sales order management software application. It is now easier for specialty retailers and sales reps to determine available inventory, place orders, and simply do business with three more brands: Garmont footwear and ski boots, Bridgedale socks, and Icebug footwear.
“One of Garmont's key business values is to be easy for our customers to do business with us,” said Bill Hill, Garmonts chief financial officer. “We believe that it is important to be able to provide our customers as many access points to our product as possible. B-to-B e-commerce solutions are an integral part of that. CenterStone's solution is going to allow Garmont to provide 24/7 access to product information, inventory availability and ordering capabilities for our specialty retailers. Garmont will be leveraging CenterStone's experience with a host of other clients, and it will be particularly valuable for Garmont footwear and Bridgedale socks to be showcased alongside such well-known brands as The North Face, Pearl Izumi, Marmot, Helly Hansen and others. This vertical trade show environment that is offered through the CenterStone solution will make it that much easier for our customers-the specialty retailers-to do business with us.”
Now more than 60 brands use iVendix. “Its great to have Garmont, Bridgedale and Icebug bring our rapidly expanding list to more than 60 brands. Garmonts decision to provide the CenterStone solution to their specialty dealers will allow all three brands to take advantage of the thousands of specialty retailers already using CenterStones sales order management solution. Dealers and sales reps have been very quick to adopt iVendix, and we expect that Garmonts choice of CenterStone will have a significant, positive impact on their business,” said Tom Detmer, president and CEO of CenterStone Technologies, Inc. “Currently more than 5,400 retailers in North America are actively using our on-line B2B solution, and this extensive dealer base should be a great benefit to Garmont as they continue to grow.”
“During our busy times of the year we do not have any extra time, so when we reorder product we will order from our suppliers that make it easy for us. With CenterStone it doesnt get any easier than 1! One web site, 1 password, 1 order process & 1 way for me to save time in my busy schedule. The addition of Garmont to the CenterStone family will make my job easier in 1 more way,” said Jeff Milbauer, the owner of Valley Bike & Ski Shop in Apple Valley, Minn., who has used CenterStones online solution for several years for a variety of vendors.
