"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."

"You don’t know what you need until you see it. With the efficiency and expediency of the process, we can talk to so many more customers. We’re writing an insane amount of orders, and the fact that those orders can be written and shipped out that day is a huge …

"My customer service and data entry teams LOVE Handshake Now we have a digital copy of each order and no more manual entry. Orders that took hours to load now take seconds. It allows our team to focus on actual customer service and sales support as opposed to data entry."

"We were shocked when we didn’t see people waiting around in the booth to place orders but it turned out to be because we really were working faster. We pulled up the daily sales reports, and found out that we’d had our biggest show ever."

"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."

"Frequently, by the final day of a trade show, orders from the first day of the show are already shipping out the door. Customers appreciate how quickly we can fulfill orders."

"The more proposals we can get out there, the more orders we get this is the fastest, most efficient way to communicate that recommended order to the dealer."

"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."

"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 …

"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."

"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."

"The number one benefit is the elimination of data entry. You don’t realize this is a huge problem until you’re doing a high volume of business."

"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."

"It has made order taking faster and more efficient. Everyone has jumped on board using it and enjoys it. I, for one, love it and think it’s fantastic. It’s cut down the duration of time spent during a booth appointment by half."
