Fort Worth, TX (December 2009) - ECi Software Solutions (ECi), a leader in
industry-specific information technology solutions, announced today that ECi
Britannia is partnering with Educators Resource (ER). The two entities will
provide electronic ordering and stock check capabilities to their mutual
customers. This partnership expands the existing relationship between the two
companies. Currently, Educator’s Resource provides quarterly item file updates,
e-content product images and marketing information for customers to display on
their website, hosted through Britannia’s BritLink.
This initiative is further testimony to Britannia’s and ER’s commitment to
provide value to educational retailers. Britannia’s integration with Educators
Resource is a customer-focused initiative that is ideal for independent
educational retailers in the office products and educational industries who are
looking for new ways to improve their business with schools, teachers and
parents. With the new graphical Britannia Version 5, a dealer can offer office
and school supplies as well as furniture. And, with this partnership,
Britannia’s software capabilities are further enabled to provide accurate, fast
and efficient services to meet educational retailers’ business needs for stock
replenishment and customer order fulfillment. This, in turn, will provide
dealers access to a wider customer base while lowering their operational costs
and improving their customers’ shopping experience.
“We are very excited about this partnership,” says Anshul Choudhry, General
Manager of ECi Britannia. “Our goal is to help educational retailers earn more
and operate with the highest efficiency while helping their customers save
money. This initiative is backed by an experienced team and excellent customer
service that is unmatched in the industry.”
“This expansion of our relationship with Britannia ushers in a new era of
opportunities for our mutual customers,” says Brad Summersell, Executive Vice
President of ER. “Not only will our customers be able to automate existing
business within the school market, they will be able to offer a full-line
solution for teachers and schools, including immediate access to the thousands
of new products introduced annually.”
