64 Handshake Corporation Testimonials

"Most buyers are really impressed by it. For existing customers, they really love that we can pull up their account quickly on the iPad. We don’t have to waste time."

"I didn’t want to be in a situation where our competitors were offering a better way of looking at products on iPads, and we were still walking in with a paper catalog."

"We had a particular customer who was ordering more from a competitor even though our pricing was significantly better. Since we switched to Handshake, though, our ordering experience is so much better that they’ve given us the majority of their business."

"It’s great to come into work and find that orders were placed overnight. Before, we had to pick up the request in the morning and get back to the client about stock availability. Now it’s instantaneous. It’s a massive advantage."

"With Handshake we processed orders quicker and lost fewer customers to queuing as a result, the fashion industry is not always known for its patience."

"With pen and paper, you have to slow down the process a bit to write down all the information. With a mobile order writing solution, we can work at the buyer’s pace and allow ourselves to engage with them more. It’s a lifesaver."

"I would say that the discussions I had with Handshake’s team were very on point and deep. With the knowledge that they brought to the table, we were able to avoid a lot of hurdles."

"It’s been great. The PDA used to crash all the time, but the Apple hardware just works."

"I started this business from home with a bunch of shipping containers. It’s growing nicely, but, you know, you don’t start off at the top. [Handshake] definitely elevates my status as a serious wholesaler."

"We put every single order through Handshake, and that order goes straight into Xero––and out to the warehouse for shipping. No one has to waste time keying in the order."

"The introduction and implementation of Handshake took our sales experience to a new level for our customers. The ease of use and functionality provided a high-tech integration and image to our customers. Helped us start the year off right—innovative."

"We tried various manual and system approaches to address these problems through the years, all with limited success. Finally, we found the Handshake app in early 2013. It has worked the way I wanted it to from day one."

"Think about how many businesses have become self-service. Our customers are going to expect that."

"Our customers also enjoy the process of dealing with the Handshake app. I can flip through the catalog without having to lug around a 4-inch binder of all of our products, and the customer gets an immediate confirmation of what they ordered."

"We try to do what we can to honor our relationships with retailers by not selling to a store right down the street. If someone’s supporting us, we want to support them. Now we just ask any potential customer for their zip code, enter it into our iPads, and immediately see whether we have existing customers in their area."
