Furniture and accessories supplier Arteriors will introduce an iPad sales app that offers a streamline way for sales representatives to process sales orders.

The Visual Merchandiser for iPad€”Vmi€”makes it easy for reps to create and submit orders on the go. The app also provides offline access to digital catalogs and can accommodate multi-line agencies and suppliers.

€œArteriors has an uncompromising reputation for leading innovation in both product design and quality," said Mark Moussa, Arteriors CEO and founder. "We bring that same spirit to our sales and service processes. The old way of doing business is quickly becoming outdated.  We are always looking for opportunities to push the envelope and are excited to implement VMi to both enhance our customer buying experience and equip our sales force with the most effective sales tools available.€

Visual Merchandiser offers presentation and order capture tools that allows reps to create a visual and interactive sales experience€”on the road or in the showroom using the hardware of their choice. Using the technology, reps can work with a retailer and graphically present and build merchandised orders of any complexity. The program€™s €œdigital whiteboard€ allows reps and buyers to merchandise product as they build an order. Fixture and/or store sets can also be loaded allowing for groups, color-stories, accessories and rack programs to be added or created with just one click.

€œWe€™re proud to be working with industry leader Arteriors on the roll-out of VMi,€ said Todd Litzman, president of Brandwise, developer of VMi. €œOur team has worked with numerous suppliers and sales agencies to demonstrate the new platform, and every one of them were blown away by its ease-of-use, graphical product presentation capabilities and functionality. Arteriors is the perfect €˜early adopter€™ partner as we bring VMi to market.€
