VISTA, CA (BRAIN) Thursday June 7 2012 11:35 AM MT—Electra Bicycle Company has developed a system with SmartEtailing to allow consumers to see and order all items in Electra's inventory via participating retailers' websites.
With SmartEtailing's Supplier Sync, Electra retailers will be able to showcase every Electra bicycle, component and accessory including Personalization Station items.
“The boldness of Electra’s accessory offerings and how these complement their bicycle offerings make Supplier Sync for Electra retailers very appealing,” said Mark Graff, co-founder of SmartEtailing. “Every retailer I’ve spoken with about Electra’s inventory sharing has told me that they are very excited about this latest option.”
Travis Vance, Electra's IT director, said the company ha already seen the benefits of the system.
“We like that the system was designed specifically to work to the needs of our sales channel and allows our customers to easily shop our entire product line. Electra retailers who were already using the SmartEtailing platform will have the immediate benefit of a complete Electra product presentation, and it’s also a great opportunity for other dealers to move into this new cohesive business support system.”
