The board is comprised of leaders representing all sizes of distributor and supplier companies and brings a broad perspective at a time when ASItransact is gaining momentum in the marketplace. Order volume today is significantly higher than the same period one year ago and more users than ever before are leveraging its capabilities to directly integrate features from popular accounting software packages, including QuickBooks, ProfitMaker® sand ProfitPro®.

Advisory board members say they are optimistic about creating a strategic roadmap for next steps in the product's progression and adoption.

Bob Stoltz, president of Sanford Business-to-Business, said: “Once an initial order is placed, distributors and suppliers use ASItransact to progress step-by-step through the digital artwork approval process, proofing stages and can then track the final product shipment. One of the goals of the advisory board is to figure out how even more administrative tasks can be reduced in this online environment, so that sales staffs can spend more time selling and less time managing orders.”

Guy Tunnicliffe, director of promotional products division for WearGuard, commented: “We've researched lots of products and look forward to providing insights to help ASItransact continue improving order processing workflows. Both distributors and suppliers win with this system, because its Web-based capabilities allow more orders to be fulfilled faster, speeding delivery of products to the end-buyer.”

ASI has several volunteer advisory boards for its products and services and finds the insights and feedback from members valuable.

Dale Denham, senior vice president of ASI, noted: “The ASItransact advisory board has already been instrumental in making strategic decisions, like changing our pricing model to unlimited usage for only $299. They've also guided our direction in making our software standards available to the industry at no charge, even to competitors. I'm especially excited about the knowledge of these board members and what insights they can share to continue increasing adoption of ASItransact.”
