CenterStone Technologies announced that Patagonia has selected the company’s iVendix solution for their European dealers.

 

"Customer service has always been a top priority for Patagonia. We interact with hundreds of specialty retailers in Europe every day, and could clearly see the need to offer them the ability to conduct business in a convenient and seamless way. Therefore, Patagonia Europe was looking for a reliable, multilingual, and multi-currency business-to-business (B2B) solution. With years of experience in our industry, iVendix was a natural answer. With iVendix, our dealers will be able to manage their orders 24/7 and access our inventory in real time. This should allow Patagonia Europe to increase its in-season sales, and customer service staff to provide more pro-active service. From an environmental point of view, we are also hoping that the B2B platform will limit the exchange of paper documents with our dealers. Having the best products and causing the least amount of harm to the environment has long been the ethos of Patagonia; we are now working to contribute further to the success of our specialty retailers with the iVendix B2B ordering tool", said Nate Smith - International Manager of Patagonia.

“We’re glad that Patagonia selected iVendix. When the service will go live in January 2008, European Patagonia dealers will be able to serve their customers more efficiently at the point of sale, increasing inventory turns and thus revenues. Patagonia's customer service will increase the efficiency of time spent with each client what will translate into greater speed to market and more attractiveness for the Patagonia brand", said Christophe de Lussac - GM CenterStone Europe.

CenterStone Technologies, an international developer of Web-based ordering solutions for manufacturers of apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories, today announced that Von Zipper and Element have selected the company’s iVenidx software to start B2B E-commerce with dealers. iVendix will provide a business-to-business (B2B) online ordering service for Von Zipper and Element’s European retail dealers who will be able to place their orders using their local language and currency. Dealers will be able to check on products availability as well as track and monitor the status of their orders on iVendix since it is accessible 24/7 via the Web. According to Philippe Degenne, Operations Manager at Billabong : “After experiencing increasing results on Billabong and Kustom B2B platforms, we implemented the VZ brand in order to offer an even wider selection of services to our customers. Thanks to this efficient retail support tool we now offer better service to our retailers who no longer have to depend on customer services opening hours. They can monitor the status of their order, check an updated inventory and be aware of special built up promotions. From an internal point of view, iVendix not only saves time for all users but also allows the customer service to be more selling-oriented”
