"There are costs associated with every piece of paper a company generates. With CommerceCenter, we eliminated many of those costs, because we now keep most of our information online." That's Jeff Jensen, operations manager at H.J. Oldenkamp, a distributor of specialty building products in Michigan, speaking (inside An Activant Press Release). The company transitioned from software that it was never relay happy with to P21's CommerceCenter recently. "We have so many capabilities now," Jensen says. "Before, we could not look up critical information in a timely manner. For example, to verify commitment of a product to fill a customer order, we would have to wait for the system to search back through every order and report, which typically took several minutes. Now, it's a button-click away. We can make a decision with the information without delaying the order transaction, or the customer."
