Brandwise,
a B2B sales technology company known in multiple consumer goods industries for
its innovative products and services, received unprecedented recognition from
the Gift and Home Furnishings industry when it was named the recipient of two
awards before a capacity audience of more than 800 during the prestigious 2011
ICON Honors ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia. The company’s online wholesale
shopping hub bwconnect™
received the ICON Honor for Innovation in Technology. Brandwise was then
awarded, by a unanimous vote of the judges, the ICON Honor for Achievement for
its unparalleled sales technology development and service to the industry.
Brandwise products enjoy a majority adoption in the industry and its sales force
automation tool alone processes more than 15,000 orders a day.
The ICON Honors celebrate the best in
the Gift and Home industry, which does an estimated $75 billion in
business each year. Honorees are chosen by a panel of distinguished judges from
the retail, manufacturing, design and media communities and the program is
produced by AmericasMart Atlanta and The Gift and Home Trade Association in
partnership with leading trade publisher, Sandow Media.
Co-founders Todd
and Jannetta Litzman accepted the Achievement Honor on behalf of Brandwise.
Their history of technology service and innovation began 14 years ago when they
introduced hand-scanning technology to the industry; elevating it from the
inefficiencies of hand-writing wholesale orders. The company has been driving
sales technology innovations ever since; consistently creating new products that
empower manufacturers and reps to sell more, bring greater efficiencies to the
sales process, and enhance the retailer's buying experience.
The company’s integrated suite of
products encompasses every aspect of the sales process from sales force
automation to back office systems, innovative business intelligence tools, and
cutting-edge visual presentation and order capture tools using the latest in
mobile, tablet and graphics technology.
“Our products have proven to fit a model
that transcends a single industry,” said Todd Litzman. “Over the last 18 months,
we’ve made a strategic move into the Outdoor
Lifestyle and Apparel industry and are honored to count some of the biggest
names in the industry as clients including; adidas, Timbuk2, Osprey, KJUS and
Scarpa.”
