Embedded Digital Payments Strengthened Security and Reduced Manual Errors for an Established High-End Tile Supplier

WEST Session: Many well-established manufacturing and supply companies are rooted in their original non-digital technology and payments processes. From still using credit card swipers, to sending paper invoices, to even receiving paper orders from customers that included credit card numbers scribbled on them, high-end tile supplier, Decorative Materials, was experiencing the pain of outdated tech. They knew they needed a more innovative solution that would continue to grow with them while also providing the secure, digital payment options their customers and employees needed. This presentation will cover their case study and feature the challenges they were facing with meeting today’s technology and security standards, and how they updated their existing order system to a newer, more innovative solution that provided increased security, fewer human errors, increased time savings, and an overall improved customer experience. And it was all embedded directly into their ERP system.
