        Software provider AMP has added two furniture suppliers to its stable of partners.
   Dining and console producer Crawford & Burke and outdoor furniture resource Pelican Reef Wicker have signed on to AMP’s platform to provide management, sales reps, and buyers with a user-friendly tool to increase business efficiencies. 
“Our company is growing quickly as we head into 2016,” said Justin DeSmet, vice president of operations for Crawford & Burke. “We needed a familiar, user-friendly, cost effective software solution to help facilitate our growth. AMP provides that and much, much more.” 
Crawford & Burke will use a number of AMP’s products including its Mercury app for order writing and real-time inventory tracking. The company will also use AMP’s buyer’s access portal to allow customers the ability to view item specs, download high-resolution images, and submit orders online. 
Pelican Reef will also use the Mercury app as well as the custom order writing feature, Configurability, said Mayleen Chadwick, Pelican Reef vice president.
“Many of our sales reps represent multiple furniture manufacturers and they all truly pushed for AMP to be the app of choice,” Chadwick said. “We are excited to have a new ordering system in place. AMP’s Mercury app lets us easily load items, customers and select the items they want to buy.”
With Configurability, Pelican Reef customers can customize orders by selecting fabric color choices to help ensure accuracy.
“We are excited to partner with such great (companies),” said Patrick Henley, CEO of AMP. “We look forward to continuing to add value to our software platform ….”
