With sales teams located all around the world, Bollman was looking for a way to modernize their B2B wholesale process and streamline up- to-date product information in real-time to each of their reps. With their current pen & paper system in place, sales reps relied on printed catalogs, physical samples and paper orders when meeting with buyers at trade shows or on the road. This traditional form of wholesale caused many challenges for sales reps, including outdated inventory, upsell issues and expensive shipping costs.
“Before NuORDER, they would give us spreadsheets on a weekly basis showing our current inventory by SKU, and it was extremely cumbersome. You would end up writing an order and sending it in without knowing exactly what was in stock and what was on backorder.”
SHERRY LEA, SALES
