CULVER CITY, Calif.-- Powell Company, a leading developer and importer of furniture
products, announced the implementation of a new order scanning system to be launched at the Las Vegas
market.
The main benefit to Powell customers is the time it will save in their showroom. "With all of the
different categories of product that we offer, it's not unusual for a customer to purchase 50 or more
SKU's" said Sean Slack, Executive Vice President. "The time savings for both our customers and our sales staff
should be significant, not to mention, the system can cut down on the chance for errors during the rush at
market", Slack added.
After an exhaustive search for the best program available, the company chose a system from Brandwise, a
well known software supplier from Lakewood CO. Powell purchased PC based Dell handheld scanners for their
sales staff and market assistants. "Our sales reps can create quotes to prepare for their customers arrival
at markets, plus, they can use them in retailers stores after market" said Tom Liddell, Sr. VP-National Sales.
"The orders will be transmitted wirelessly to our servers and almost immediately be received at our offices.
This will allow real time inventory and sales tracking", Liddell added.
In addition to the scanners, Powell CFO, Larry Woods, noted "The Brandwise system will sync with our new
PowellPRO dealer order system. PowellPRO stands for Powell Retailers Online. This is a new web based order
placement and inquiry system that we will also be introducing to their dealers at the Las Vegas Market."
