Enhanced cost centers help land corporate customers: Essent 2014

New cost center capabilities in Essent Compass and Essent SiteBuilder are sure to appeal to the promotional products distributors aiming to land corporate clients.

Corporations need to control spend, especially for discretionary items like promotional products. So corporations are increasingly looking for vendors who can adhere to cost centers. Compass and SiteBuilder make that requirement easier than ever before.

A promotional products distributor using Essent can import corporations' cost center rules directly into Compass and SiteBuilder. With corporations increasingly intent on controlling spend, the ability to have cost center rules automatically communicated makes an Essent user all the more appealing to corporations.

In 2013, budget enforcement for cost centers in Compass and SiteBuilder became even more robust. Essent also added a recurrence system that lets a corporation renew a distributor’s spending allowance at defined intervals, like weekly or monthly budgets.
