Case Study: Central Power Systems achieves 24/7 interactive ordering and faster fulfillment with Esker Persona

Central Power Systems Goes "Live" with Persona

Central Power Systems, a Midwest wholesale distributor of lawn & garden parts serving over 5,000 retail outlets, needed a modern extranet after migrating off an AS/400. With roughly 500 diverse users and limited development resources, the company sought an easy-to-roll-out, cost-effective solution that supported many operating systems and used concurrent rather than per-seat licensing.

Central Power selected Persona Insight (50 concurrent licenses), which went from demo to production in minutes and required minimal customization. The new "LIVE!" extranet gives customers 24/7 access to check stock, place orders, track shipments and view backorders, cutting weekend order backlog and manual data entry, improving service, and delivering a low-overhead, easy-to-use solution.
