“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.”

"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 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."

"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’s been great. The PDA used to crash all the time, but the Apple hardware just works."

"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."

"Before, everything was manual, and we would sit for weeks to get all the orders entered. Now, after a trade show, I just review the orders quickly and export them. I have everything I need to begin production."

"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 can let the customers shop as we’re sitting with them. It shows how we custom-cut products."

"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."

"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 …

"It changed our thought process pretty substantially to say that Handshake could do everything and more, compared to our current platform. So we wondered why we should support both of them."

"I think the most important thing has been that the user experience is simple. We don’t have to do much handholding, and we’ve gotten a lot of really positive feedback."

"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."

"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."
