This case study details how candy distributor Vegas Image transitioned from paper-based ordering to Handshake's mobile order writing system in 2011. Sales reps now access 500+ SKUs on iPads with customer-specific catalog controls and multiple ship-to addresses. Orders export directly to Sage 50, eliminating manual entry and reducing paper use while supporting twice-weekly store visits across the Las Vegas strip.

Key takeaways

Customer-specific catalog controls prevent ordering of unapproved SKUs per retailer

Unlimited ship-to addresses support multi-location accounts under single customer records

Sales reps complete store visits faster with full price lists and images on mobile devices

Time savings from reduced data entry and paper handling directly lowered operating costs
