Terminal Services 2003, and BES server all running on Microsoft 2003 Platform.
We also use a Comdial FX phone system with our voicemail and a T1 (PRI) phone
line. We have built a solid foundation for the future growth of our
organization.
Inside Sales people are equipped with Intel based, multimedia computers running
the latest Windows operating system and a wide range of software tools
including, Microsoft Office and SalesLogix® Customer Relationship
Management software. We access our factories' online services through our high
speed internet connection.
Outside Sales people are equipped with Blackberry 7130e cellular phones with
Broadband connectivity, laptop computers and home fax machines. The computers
are primarily used for Customer Relationship Management software, email,
scheduling, reporting and for running product selection software provided to us
by our manufacturers. Home offices are equipped with High Speed Internet
connections and connected to the office using a Remote Desktop VPN connection.
In 1999 we established our internet website at
http://www.emsorl.com/ and have recently revamped it to give it
improved functionality. Customers can use this site as an information base to
locate everything from products in our Online Warehouse, to additional
information about a manufacturer. EMS employees can use this site as a portal
with the necessary tools they need throughout the day no matter what computers
they may be on or what state. Our site is constantly being updated to make the
site easier to use, provide more information and to provide additional services
to our customers. The explosive growth of the internet has opened new doors of
communication with our customers and made computer literacy a requirement.
In 2005 we develped our own web based software "Realtime" to manage
our warehouse inventory. The software enables us to provide access to our
distributors and manufacturers as well as connecting all of the departments
within our organization. We are now able to view real time inventory, sales,
pricing, updates, shipments and customized reports when we need them. |

on incremental business. Since then the process has evolved to become better
integrated into our Customer Relationship Management software. The net result
is that we are increasing our rate of growth.
In 1998 we implemented a new Sales System and structure integral to our ISO
9002 processes. The goal is to greatly improve our allocation of resources on a
high value incremental business. |
