Business Wire
ProfitCenter Software Inc. (PCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX), and the leading provider of web-based,
on-demand software for multi-channel marketing merchants, has
signed a contract for the PCS Profitability Software Suite(TM) with
Art of Beauty, a manufacturer of the world's leading natural
professional nail care products and cosmetics. In seeking the best
possible multi-channel solution, Art of Beauty researched many
other companies to gain insight into various solution providers.
After a review of several solutions, including some of the older
traditional catalog systems, Art of Beauty chose PCS for the
functionality rich features and services it provides for Business
to Consumer and Business to Business sales. "PCS had the critical
CRM (customer relationship management) functionality needed to
acquire, retain and develop profitable customers that the other
solutions did not have," stated Leo Reyzis, Vice President at Art
of Beauty. "Add to that, the system's order processing and quoting,
customer service, marketing and accounting with an integrated
e-commerce solution, the choice was easy." "Art of Beauty required
a solution that incorporated their consumer and wholesale business
requirements and instilled a sense of competitive advantage in
their employees," said Matthew Ehrlich, President and CEO of
ProfitCenter Software. "PCS is a perfect fit because it is the only
system designed specifically for multi-channel marketers that have
BtoC and BtoB sales requirements." Although functional requirements
were important to Art of Beauty's selection of PCS, equally
important was the ease of use for both employees and customers to
place orders and provide customer service. Art of Beauty wanted a
solution that was intuitive and logical to help shorten the
learning curve for its non-technical customers and employees. They
found that PCS stood out among its competitors with easy-to-follow
navigation and usability. "With the implementation of PCS, we plan
to experience substantial growth in our consumer, salon, and
distributor businesses," said Reyzis. "The ease of use of the
system and website for our employees and customers, in addition to
automating processes that don't add strategic value, will free up
my staff and redirect their time to providing superior customer
service and sales marketing efforts within our company." "PCS
offers not only rich functionality, but it also provides an easy to
use interface via the web for both employees and customers," said
Ehrlich. "Customers like Art of Beauty will extend PCS' benefits by
using the solution to streamline both its own business processes
and its customer's ordering experience. At PCS, we welcome Art of
Beauty as a customer and our objective is the complete success in
helping them implement their company's business goals." PCS'
