Richmond Interiors speeds up ordering process with App4Sales and Core-portal
Since the introduction of App4Sales and Core-portal, the order process of Richmond Interiors has accelerated and the number of orders has tripled.
Richmond Interiors is a Dutch interior label. Over 30 years ago they started selling antique furniture and accessories. In the meantime Richmond Interiors has grown into a leader in the interior sector and the company is active in 48 countries. The collection of Richmond Interiors is attuned to the latest fashion. In addition, they themselves set new fashion trends while striving for the perfect balance between style, comfort, quality and price.
Faster ordering process thanks to App4Sales
Before Richmond Interiors started using App4Sales and Core-portal, customers placed their orders by e-mail. Richmond Interiors representatives used a separate system with scanners to record orders. It was not possible to view current stock levels. The orders were then manually entered into the ERP-system. This way of processing orders took a lot of time and because of the major growth of Richmond Interiors, change was necessary.
Since the introduction of App4Sales, Richmond Interiors has noticed that the order process is faster and smoother. Where the company used to run out of time to process orders, it now has spare time. This time can be spent on other important matters, so App4Sales contributes to a more efficient way of working within Richmond Interiors. As a result, order entry has tripled in some weeks, something that would not have been possible without App4Sales an
