"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."

"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."

"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."

"We have an internal philosophy that we’re not going to be the sales reps of old. The business has changed so much that you can’t just be a catalog and price sheet guy anymore. That world no longer exists."

“They see that I have an iPad out, and I’m taking photos of sections of the store. I can see if any inventory is low and help them place quick filling orders. All I have to do is email the order from the app.”

"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 asked the teams if they would be willing to give up Handshake, and the answer was a uniform and resounding, No Handshake has now become an integral part of our sales process."

"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."

"I’m glad we have Handshake. We’re using Handshake Rep for our sales team and Handshake Direct Online for many of our buyers. Our reps love mobile ordering. Overall, it’s an excellent product."

"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 more than an ordering tool for our sales reps and dealers. My vision is for Handshake to provide real-time access to promotions, new product information, shipping notifications, and other updates. It’s about having direct communication between the brand and our sales reps, and between the brand and over 2000 …

“Buyers really have that a-ha moment when they have the product in their hands and can see in-person the different features and benefits it offers.”
