SPRINGFIELD, IL.-- Design Ideas®, a well-known manufacturer of innovative home
and office accessories, announced their recent agreement with Lakewood,
Colorado-based Brandwise, to implement a sophisticated web-based business
intelligence tool, designed to enable access to hard-to-get key data and
insightful analysis any time, from any location.
"Design Ideas® was looking for a proven system that could increase both sales and
inventory efficiency while providing a substantial ROI," says Joe Kim, president
of Design Ideas®. "Brandwise was insightful and diligent in delivering a system
for what we saw as our needs, while recommending valuable, added measures based
upon their extensive experience," added Kim.
"We are very excited to implement our
SalesOptimizer
product to enhance Design
Ideas®' sales efforts and help them maximize the potential of each sales call by
using the information provided by our software," said Todd Litzman, president,
Brandwise.
SalesOptimizer uses powerful web-based communication tools to put key
information into the hands of those who need it, when they need it, in order to
increase sales, reduce costs and uncover new opportunities. SalesOptimizer's
online tools allow sales reps to access key data and insightful analysis any
time, from any location. Comprehensive customer and product histories are
available to sales reps at any time, and senior management can receive daily
highlight reports to give them the insight and confidence of knowing which
products are selling and where.
In addition, Design Ideas® will use Brandwise's real-time order processing
system,
VendorElite
, which features order capture, centralized product /
customer management, order validation against changed customer or product
information, electronic transmission of data to and from sales representatives
and more. As vendors receive new sales information from their sales force, it is
integrated into their database, providing an unprecedented level of in-depth
analysis and reporting capabilities.
