"We
know this will decrease the amount of phone calls and emails exchanged as well
as give distributors the most up to date order information.”
Supplier Compass Industries 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 Compass
via the Essent OrderTrax®
Network using PromoStandards™.
Distributors integrated with Compass Industries 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.
"Compass is
excited to be able to offer this value added service to our distributors. We
know this will decrease the amount of phone calls and emails exchanged as well
as give distributors the most up to date order information for them to provide
to their end users” remarked Michael Levy, President of Compass.
Compass Industries 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 are: Inventory, Order
Shipment Notification, Product Data, Media, Invoices, and Product Pricing &
Configuration.
