Our development team is constantly releasing cool stuff to make your job easier and increase customer satisfaction – which of course leads to more sales! Here are a few things that are unique to our Advance™ business management system
Customer Portal
"This is a customer retention tool"
“When our customers receive these benefits, they quickly dismiss evaluating other vendors that cannot provide the same functionality.”

Alternate vendor
This unique feature in Advance™ enables you to identify alternate vendors that sell the same product. With the touch of a button, you can explore other vendors’ pricing and inventory to go with the best option.
Alternate products will also suggest
similar products that can be substituted.

Imagine comparing prices, inventory and shipping warehouses on a single screen and make the best selections possible for your order in an instant!
Corporate identity
One system – multiple companies
There has been a growing trend in the promotional products industry for larger companies to acquire other distributors to grow their business. A number of our accounts do such a good job of order management they are able to take on the back-end transaction processing for other companies, or they allow companies they acquire to retain their own corporate identity.
With Advance™, you can create multiple identities and connect an identity to a customer or salesperson. Documents automatically reflect the new identity and provide a seamless transition from one to the next. Financial statements can reflect each identity in its own column and you have the ability to run consolidated or individual statements.
Interactive quote
Interactive quote allows you to easily provide a format for your customers to narrow down their choices, select specific colors and sizes and get an accurate quote for any promotional product.
The customer can zoom in on products to see more details or color options. They can eliminate unwanted items and even turn the quote into a order by selecting the place order option.
Interactive quote is styled nicely for full screen, or tables and cell phone.
Report Scheduler
With our Report Scheduler you can now select any report in the system and schedule to run it at any regular interval.
Customers, Vendors or Users can receive automated reports on whatever schedule you choose.
This automation will save you significant time and provide your partners with reliable information as needed.
