Tennessee Convenience Store Distributor Gives Its Customers Improved Capability
CHICAGO – November 30, 2009 – Software provider Ai2 announced today that Charles C. Parks Company will implement Ai2's HERO® computing solution for its retail customers who place sales orders.
"I'm looking forward to helping Charles C. Parks in improving another side of their sales process," said Ray Walsh, Vice President of Sales for Ai2.
Handheld Entry for Remote Orders (HERO®) is Ai2's mobile computing system for retailers who must generate weekly or semi-weekly orders and obtain regularly updated customer and product information. Using mobile handheld computers, HERO lets retailers scan barcodes, type, write on the handheld screen, generate orders, receive messages and manage their retail pricing with one convenient application.
Charles C. Parks was already an Ai2 client and decided to expand its suite of solutions with HERO. Parks' salespeople already had updated access to all the data they needed to generate fast, accurate orders with POW® from Ai2. HERO gives a retailer the ability to access the same data so he need not wait for a sales rep's visit to place an order. This becomes a great convenience for a convenience distributor.
The Charles C. Parks Co. has been a full line grocery distributor since 1934. The company operates from its modern warehouse and office facility in Gallatin, Tennessee, and distributes to convenience stores in seven southern states. For more information about Charles C.
