"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 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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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 use Handshake to capture the contact information of the buyers and distributors we meet at shows. This make our job easier because it provides one central platform for housing customer information and for order processing."

"I wanted to increase efficiency and lessen the amount of time sales reps were spending on creating quotes. I also wanted the quotes to look more professional and modern."

"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."

"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."

"We looked at many iOS order entry apps before finding Handshake. Handshake offered a well thought out user interface that fit our needs well. Our national sales force loves using it, and the tight integration with our ERP system greatly simplifies our back office operations."

"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."

"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."
