ECI² Enhances Partnership with Acsellerate Solutions, LLC
ECI² Selects Acsellerate as Exclusive Sales Intelligence Partner
Fort Worth, TX – May 29, 2007 – eCommerce Industries, Inc. (ECI²), a leader in industry-specific information technology solutions for the office products, office machine, office furniture, and janitorial and sanitary supply industries, is collaborating with software developer Acsellerate Solutions, LLC to provide sales intelligence and business analytics technology to companies using ECI² business systems. Under a recently signed agreement, Acsellerate Solutions will become the exclusive sales and business intelligence provider for ECI²’s various back office business systems.
Acsellerate is an Internet-based sales intelligence solution that offers owners, managers and sales and marketing professionals new insight into their business activities. Acsellerate mines the historical data in the company’s back-office business system, linking customer activities to transactions for a clearer understanding of business activity and profit margins. Users of Acsellerate can instantly see the status of the company, individual accounts, and even developing trends such as changes in a customer’s buying habits. Information is displayed on clear, easily understood dashboards that can be accessed from any computer with an Internet browser, enabling managers to monitor business activity from virtually any location.
“Personally, I think this is one of the most exciting products I’ve seen in a long time,” said Ron Books, chief operating officer of ECI². “Coming from a sales background, I really appreciate what Acsellerate can do for dealers. It’s not just about selling to more customers, or even selling more product to the customers you already have — it’s also about making more on everything you sell.
“As dealers compete with the superstores, they have to protect their margins,” Books continued. “Acsellerate is another tool to do that. It not only helps you spot at-risk customers, it puts the spotlight on low-margin items and accounts.”
Under the new agreement between the two companies, ECI² customers will receive special discounted pricing on Acsellerate. The software is already integrated with the Ensite Pro™ business system from ECI²’s DDMS® division, and is in use at multiple DDMS customer sites. Dealers have reported growth in both overall sales and margin as a result of implementing the product. Acsellerate is also working closely with ECI²’s Britannia™ subsidiary to integrate with its BritNet™ software.
