KHS Bicycles Dealer Base Grows With Online Ordering
11.02.2005
Rancho Dominguez, California
The KHS Bicycles dealer base has continued to grow since launching the online order entry software just prior to the recent InterBike tradeshow. KHS teamed with CenterStone Technologies, a Web-based sales order management software, to bring online order entry to retailers.
"We're ecstatic with the results from adding CenterStone," said Wayne D. Gray, Vice President of KHS Bicycles. "We felt the effect immediately after launching. It was a great benefit at InterBike being able to place online orders in the booth. Dealers are loving the new system, and we are getting new dealers using it every week."
CenterStone is an easy to use and operate system that allows dealers to check inventory in real time. KHS customers can view inventories and order 24/7 directly via Centerstone. KHS has more than eight thousand SKUs currently available.
"CenterStone has helped us grow in marketshare and provide better customer service for dealers wanting online ordering," said Gray. "With our new 2006 bicycle lines, our huge P & A program and CenterStone, we believe 2006 will be a big year for KHS Bicycles and our Dealers."
