Time-saving integration of tech platforms delivers more efficient, real-time data feed to ASB members<\/em><\/p>\n

TREVOSE, PA \u2013 October 30, 2020 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Advertising Specialty Institute\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(ASI), the largest membership organization in the North American promotional products industry, today announced American Solutions for Business (ASB) has become the latest distributor to integrate its technology platform with ASI\u2019s ESP\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

For Top 40 distributor ASB (asi\/120075), benefits of the integration between its American PeopleSoft platform and ESP include eliminating the need to rekey orders, real-time data feed and the ability to view preferred vendors and custom pricing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur teams have worked hard to accomplish this new integration,\u201d said Glenn Miller, ASB\u2019s vice president of business solutions. \u201cI\u2019m confident this will save time and money for ASB sales associates \u2013 we\u2019re looking forward to taking advantage of these new efficiencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

ESP is a search engine that allows distributors to find detailed data on nearly 1 million promotional products from thousands of industry suppliers. In addition, the technology solution includes services and tools like a CRM, virtual samples, presentation builder, company stores and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cASI is excited to take our valued association with ASB to the next level with the time-saving integration of ESP Orders, an end-to-end solution that allows orders to flow seamlessly from ESP to the APS system, making the entire process more efficient,\u201d said Bob DeFord, ASI\u2019s senior vice president of distributor sales and marketing. \u201cASI\u2019s chief goal is to provide the tools that help make everyone in our industry more productive, especially now, with technology playing such an integral role in everyone\u2019s ability to do business.\u201d<\/p>\n

With reported 2019 North American promotional product revenue of $202.2 million, Glenwood, MN-based ASB ranked 11th on Counselor\u2019s most recent list of the largest distributors in the industry.<\/a> ASB executives Larry and Justin Zavadil co-ranked 16th on Counselor\u2019s just-released 2020 Power 50<\/a>, a definitive ranking of the most influential people in promo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
