Essent Showing Promotional Products Software at 2015 PPAI Expo

Promotional products software maker Essent® will showcase its industry-leading solutions – including the new EssentOne™ cloud business platform – at the 2015 PPAI Expo.

PPAI Expo visitors can check out Booth 5849 for business management, ecommerce and other software solutions from Essent. The PPAI Expo exhibition floor is open January 13-15, 2015 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Promotional products distributors, suppliers, and decorators who visit Booth 5849 can get their first look at EssentOne™ — the new way to do business in the promotional products industry. The 2015 PAPI Expo marks the first public showing of the new platform.

"EssentOne builds on decades of technology solutions and delivers them in a beautiful, easy-to-use, comprehensive system that can be accessed from anywhere,” Essent President & CEO Eric Alessi said. "We’re excited to unveil the latest evolution in promotional products software and we think the industry will be just as excited once they see it.”

The EssentOne cloud business platform combines CRM, Product Research, Quoting, Ordering, and an Order Status Dashboard into a single highly-intuitive, productive system engineered to manage a promotional product business.

Designed for current web browsers, EssentOne works the way you expect an application to work. The cloud-based system provides a fresh interface that makes it easier than ever to manage sales opportunities, enter orders, and track performance. The user interface is responsive, working natively on desktop computers, tables, and smartphones, making it accessible on just about any device from just about anywhere. All this, plus it retains the comprehensive integration and workflow with Compass and SiteBuilder —powerful hallmarks of Essent solutions.

"The development team wanted to take everything that’s awesome about Compass CRM and Order Management and deliver it in a fresh, new, streamlined way that makes it even more productive,” Essent Director of Development Adam Taylor said. "It doesn’t just look better. The new look is designed to make the system more intuitive and easier to use – a more powerful way to harness the powerful Essent platform.”

Visitors to PPAI Expo Booth 5849 can also learn about the following Essent solutions: the Compass™ Business Management System; the SiteBuilder™ ecommerce platform; PunchOutNow™, the only Ariba-verified PunchOut Catalog in the industry; Direct2Decoration™, a fully-automated visual product configurator; and OrderTrax™, an electronic data interchange that handles 18 million transactions representing more than $3 billion per year.
