Sunset West is excited to announce the release the first version of the Sunset West iPad Catalog application. The application will allow Sunset West to communicate with both its Sales Representatives and Retail Partners on a consistent basis. The Ipad app. will essentially be a living catalog complete with the latest styles offered by Sunset West along with the available inventories from either of Sunset West’s warehouses. The application will refresh itself with most up to date information each time the user logs on. “This is a really great tool for disseminating information to either our reps, or retail partners. The user will be presented with our complete product offering and the available inventory from either of our warehouses.” said CEO Wes Stewart. “ Our customer base now has the opportunity to own a catalog that is never out of date, period. By definition, the price list is always current and on top of that, our retail partners will be up to date on our inventory available to sell, so there will be no guess work when working with customers as to whether a certain frame is available to them or not.” The benefit is not just for special orders, but can also help in a situation where dealers need immediate inventory to fill a floor slot or two. The application is truly about meeting the demand with accurate data about supply. The application is meant to augment, not replace the printed catalogs and tear sheets that Sunset West provides to its dealer base.
Another opportunity Sunset West will provide its dealers is in the form of a discount, special buy and clearance items tab within the application.
Sunset West Texas representative Mark Williamson said, ”This is the kind of selling tool that is the future of the home furnishings industry. The usability and real-time data that this tool gives me access too will make the time I spend working with the buyers I call on, far more efficient.”
“We have always done well with Sunset West and its product line. It is nice to know that with the app., our sales people can quote product availability with confidence and that we will not miss a selling opportunity due to lack of information available to us.” said store owner Paul Rees.
