64 Handshake Corporation Testimonials

“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 order from them more and start favoring their products.”

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"There are certain things that we’ve been able to do with this order writing software that we couldn’t do on paper. When customers aren’t quite sure what to order, we bundle packages together. Customers can then get a full line from us, rather than just ordering piece by piece."

“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.”

"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 introduction and implementation of Handshake took our sales experience to a new level for our customers. The ease of use and functionality provided a high-tech integration and image to our customers. Helped us start the year off right—innovative."

"Some people just prefer to order this way. They don’t have to dig through their email to find a past order. B2B eCommerce is way more effective than anything else."

"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."

"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."

"We tested it out, and it was exactly what we needed."
