EASTON, Pa., Nov. 14, 2003 --There’s a new player causing a stir in the promotional products industry — Essent.
Essent, the only provider of fully-integrated business management solutions for the promotional products industry, made a splash at the PPAI-sponsored Business Forum and Marketplace in September. At the show, Essent Operations Management Consultants used a multimedia presentation and software demonstrations to illustrate the benefits of completely integrated operations.
“I was impressed by the overall functionality of Essent software,” says Loren Richardson, network administrator for distributor Junior Davis & Associates (UPIC: JDAPROMO). “It is very impressive how all the integrated modules work together.”
As the latest innovation in industry software, Essent solutions are the antidote to costly errors, data reentry, and, most importantly, workflow complication. The Essent software suite links sales and marketing, inventory and purchasing, fulfillment and shipping; art services and the web — revolutionizing the way distributors and suppliers do business.
“Essent has developed software solutions that have long been deemed impossible,” says Operations Management Consultant Bryan Sheaffer. “We have the solution for distributors and suppliers experiencing growing pains that cannot be solved with the software widely used in the promotional products industry at present.”
Two years ago, the Essent business management system was adapted to fit the unique needs of the promotional products industry. By speaking with countless distributors and meeting with key members of ePSA and PPAI, Essent Operations Management Consultants identified industry needs and adapted the fully-integrated Essent software system to meet those needs.
“You have a solid approach,” says Gene Geiger, president/CEO of Geiger (UPIC: geiger) and chair of ePSA. Geiger was so impressed with an Essent demonstration in Chicago that he referred clients at the show and has been providing shining recommendations ever since.
