Synaxon powers ahead with EGIS

Dealer group claims its online ordering and stock checking system is pulling in the punters

Synaxon claims demand for its online procurement system EGIS has soared as VARs get to grips with the range of features on offer.

As well as providing availability and pricing information on more than 250,000 products sold through 15 UK distributors, EGIS (Enterprise Global Information System) offers tools that enable resellers to compare pricing among distributors and their peers.

Phil Meacham, systems support manager at Synaxon UK, said: “EGIS is much more than just a stock and price checker, it’s an online ordering platform capability, which provides a range of marketing resources and whole host of other services.

“It’s everything the modern IT dealer’s purchasing and sales team need,” he claimed. “We are seeing more of our members start to use EGIS Mobile to compare buying prices and the Google price checker feature to see what their competitors are offering. By doing so, they can keep their fingers well and truly on the pulse, take advantage of the very best offers available on the market and make sure that they offer the very best deals to their customers and as a result, make sure that they secure the business.”

Meacham predicted that Synaxon membership will continue to mushroom and that more partners would upgrade to Premier member status.

“Consider all the special terms and conditions that are on offer exclusively to Synaxon members, such as free delivery from many distributor partners, and the benefits of being a premier member soon start to add up," he said. "More of our members are now starting to make much fuller use of the system – and we’re very confident that this momentum will continue as more resellers upgrade to the premier level of membership.”
