"By providing Order Status automatically and in real time, our distributor partners easily access information that moves transactions forward."

Supplier Boardroom Custom Clothing / Viking Safety Apparel is now offering distributors real-time, around-the-clock visibility to Order Status to save time and make more efficient partnerships.

Essent® implemented the integration for Boardroom / Viking via the Essent OrderTrax® Network using PromoStandards. Distributors integrated with Boardroom / Viking now can look up complete, accurate, real-time Order Status at any time.

The advantage of integration is that the information needed to move transactions forward can be shared automatically and in real-time, rather than slowly and manually through countless calls and emails.

"Integration enhances our excellent customer service by instantaneously providing the information that distributors most often want to know. By providing Order Status automatically and in real time, our distributor partners easily access information that moves transactions forward,” Boardroom / Viking Vice President Mark Trotzuk said.

Boardroom / Viking is actively seeking to share the time-saving service with more distributors, who can contact Essent to get started.

Other information types, or endpoints, that can be integrated in addition to Order Status are: Inventory, Order Shipment Notification, Product Data, Media Content, Invoices, Purchase Orders, and Product Pricing & Configuration.
