"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."

"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."

"Our dealers are used to B2B sites with their other suppliers. Knowing that Buff, Inc. has one just makes it easier for them. They prefer to log in and buy, rather than making a call or sending an email, and then having to wait on a response."

"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 was amazing how quickly reps adopted Handshake and started using it. I think it was within a week of training. Typically, when you’re looking at a project like this, it can take months and months to get it all put together, and that was my biggest fear. But Handshake …

"We’re having a very efficient time with the buyer. We can get them pricing on the spot, and we can get an order in at the show. It’s a tremendous increase in efficiency."

"At first, when were in just a few schools, order forms seemed to work just fine. But we couldn’t keep up with the demand, and we couldn't keep up with all the paperwork. We were hiring people just to do data entry, and it just wasn’t efficient."

"It has completely changed the way an order is taken and how we communicate with reps."

"Now with Handshake, we’re saving the company money, and we’re saving the employee time spent on a manual task. We’re seeing such a huge impact on the merchandiser side. They’re able to place their orders right at the rack—it’s brilliant."

"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 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 …

"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."
