You need to manage your business. Software makes that job much easier. And there’s only one fully-integrated business management software provider that caters specifically to the promotional products industry.
Essent will showcase its industry-leading software at the 2014 PPAI Expo in Las Vegas on January 15-17, 2014. Visitors to Booth 6255 can see how Essent integration and automation saves time, reduces errors, and increases productivity.
Essent is known and trusted in the promotional products industry. It recently celebrated its 10th year as a member of Promotional Products Association International, and Essent representatives, including President Eric Alessi, have been invited by PPAI to talk technology at its gatherings on numerous occasions.
"The promotional products industry deals with complex logistical issues that greatly benefits from information technology,” said Eric Alessi. For over a decade and more recently at the 2011 PPAI Suppliers’ Forum and 2012 PPAI Expo Technology Roundtable, Mr. Alessi spoke about the importance in the creation and delivery of accurate, complete orders — what Essent calls "Well-Formed Orders.”
As part of our commitment to education, Essent is sponsoring the PromoKitchen Revivify 2014 networking party at the House of Blues on Tuesday evening during the Expo. At the core of the PromoKitchen mission is mentoring — strengthening the industry through experience and knowledge transfer.
"Essent believes in the promotional products industry. We care about the continued success of the industry and are deeply involved at every level,” added Mr. Alessi. "Our 10 years with PPAI underscore our commitment to promotional products. We’re a software developers that get it — we understand what the promotional products industry wants because we’re a part of the industry. As a result of our involvement and understanding, Essent business solutions are the best choice for distributors, decorators, and suppliers in the promotional products industry.”
