"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."

“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.”

"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 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."

"Stephanie guided me through the entire process I need to know how to answer my internal team’s questions, and the video tutorials were so easily laid out. Going through it step by step made the whole process a lot easier."

"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."

“Sometimes if my supplier ran out-of-stock, they wouldn’t contact me, they would just send me what they had.”

"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."

"We use Handshake not just because it’s convenient, but because it’s making a difference to our relationships with our customers."

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

"We’ve been using Handshake now for half a year, and we’ve seen more changes and improvements in the past few months than we saw in the eight years with our own custom solution."

“A lot companies forget that treating their retailers well is important, and we have honestly stopped carrying products if they don’t. You really have to think about whether the aggravation is worth it. If they treat you really well, keep products in store, and get orders out accurately and quickly, …

"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."

"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."
