The system, called <strong>Powell<font color=red>PRO</font></strong>, makes placing orders, tracking orders, inventory information, confirmations and shipment notifications easier and faster. The system is easily accessed by retailers via the internet so that they may also have instant access to <strong>Powell</strong> promotions and price specials. <br><br>  We ve named this state-of-the-art system <strong>Powell<font color=red>PRO</font> (<font color=red>P</font>owell <font color=red>R</font>etailers <font color=red>O</font>nline</strong>) because it provides our retailers with online capability into the order processing system. They can place orders directly and quickly, check where orders stand and have an idea when the order will arrive at their door, said Tom Liddell, Sr. VP  National Sales for <strong>Powell</strong>.  This state-of-the-art system helps eliminate concerns over delivery dates and truly makes our retail partners part of the procedure. <br><br> This new system allows current <strong>Powell</strong> retailers to access account and order information on-line and to receive order and shipment confirmations via e-mail. In addition they may view <strong>Powell </strong> product, check inventory and actually select and order product. <br><br> For potential <strong>Powell</strong> customers it offers on-line access to credit application forms and documents necessary to establish an account. <br><br>  We believe that this new system makes doing business with <strong>Powell</strong> even easier and better than ever. Our reps are still a critical aspect of this system and we suggest that our retailers talk with their rep regarding using <strong>Powell<font color=red>PRO</font></strong> , says Liddell. <br><br> As an incentive to start using the <strong>Powell<font color=red>PRO</font></strong> system, the company is offering product/price specials for those who create their on-line account between August 15 and October 15. Retailers should talk with their sales reps for further information. <br><br> Founded in 1968, The <strong>Powell</strong> Company has been a leading importer of design driven, high quality products for nearly 40 years. Among their current lines are The <strong>Michael Payne </strong>Collections and the <strong>Pfaltzgraf </strong>Collection by <strong>Powell</strong>. The company s success is a result of its service-oriented culture, broad product offerings, multiple sourcing and delivery options, and an industry-wide reputation for reliability, integrity and honesty. </font><br><br> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </td></tr> </table> <tr><td align="center"> <a href="http://misc.powellpro.net/press/press.html">See what they&#8217;re saying about Powell!</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://www.powellpro.net/" target="_blank">https://www.powellpro.net</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.powellcompany.com/" target="_blank">http://www.powellcompany.com</a> <br /> <br /> <br /> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:right; height:76px; width:740px; color:#8D8281; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; background:url(footer.jpg)"> Powell products are covered by design and/or utility patents or patents pending.<br />All Powell products are covered by copyright of L.
