Minneapolis – (Feb 17, 2009) Katun Corporation, the world’s leading alternative supplier of parts and supplies for the imaging industry, today announced the introduction of e-Business Solutions, a component of Katun’s “Customer Solutions” program, which provides customizable online web stores for office equipment dealers and distributors.
Katun’s e-Store platform was co-developed with CoreXpand, an Atlanta-based e-commerce solutions company that currently runs over 2,000 online programs and processes over $2 billion in online sales transactions annually.
“We’re excited to be able to offer this customizable e-Store to our dealer customers,” said Terri Sayler, Vice President and General Manager of Katun’s North American Business Unit. “With Katun’s e-Store solution, dealers will boost visibility in their markets, increase loyalty and revenue opportunities with existing customers, enhance their ability to cultivate new business, and do it all without carrying any additional inventory. Best of all, it’s a turnkey system that requires very little effort on the dealer’s part – Katun and CoreXpand do most of the work while dealers collect the revenue.”
“For 13 years, CoreXpand has been helping small businesses as well as global corporations – many of them Fortune 500’s - expand their core capabilities using online solutions that increase revenue and brand loyalty,” said CoreXpand’s President and CEO, Lindsey Tanner. “We’re especially pleased to be working with Katun because of their leadership position in the imaging industry. The combination of Katun’s unmatched value proposition and our proven technology solution should prove to be exactly what office equipment dealers and distributors need to boost revenue and profits, even in a slow economy.”
The robust e-Store platform enables a dealer’s customers to quickly and easily search and order products 24/7. The system is simple enough that dealers don’t need an IT professional on staff to maintain the website – in fact, new Katun products are automatically added to the dealer’s online product offering when they are introduced. The dealer’s e-Store can be set up as a stand-alone site, or as an addition to an existing web presence.
Office equipment dealers and distributors in the U.S. are encouraged to sign up for an informational webinar for more details. To register, they should contact their Katun sales representatives or Katun’s customer service department at 1-800-328-2965. Click here for program details.
