Technology of the past is the wave of the future....The B2B electronic data base (EDI) is the most efficient, supportive data interface you could hope for.

Here at CFM we have reduced our labor costs substantially with just the electronic data interface (EDI) of the accounts payable and the product file pricing updates. With the continued pricing changes just this year it has saved us from losing money by being able to update pricing with a simple download from B2B instead of days to update a single price list manually. Our Mohawk price list alone takes us seventeen hours to update by hand not to mention all the divisions of Shaw.

Accounting procedures have become far more efficient with less entry errors, increased efficiency with inventory receiving with far less time needed to enter invoices and tie them back to the inventory receipts. The B2B download now does it in seconds thus simplifying accounting procedures.

With more vendors getting on board with B2B by just developing the accounts payable invoice interface they would see how easy it would then be to develop a workable product data base that can be updated and downloaded in minutes.

It would be of great benefit for all parties in the Floor Covering Industry to get on board with B2B.

The B2B component of CDMS has cut down on errors, and sped up our AP process to allow more time to ensure we're paying the correct price on all our invoices. I wish all of our vendors participated in B2B.

Joan Cocuzzo - Flooring America - Westborough, Massachusetts

Using B2B when posting invoices has saved us substantial time and money, especially enabling us to take advantage of discounts earned. Because we are able to process the invoice immediately thru B2B the discount gets taken instead of missed!! This has been the primary focus of our B2B use. Now that we are downloading and using the pricing we expect to save even more time and money.

PS We have been using B2B since its initiation many years ago. Getting in on the ground floor enabled us to actually eliminate two bookkeeping positions (matching purchase orders, etc.)

Deborah Harris - The Floor Gallery & Interiors - Atlanta, Georgia

The B2B software is a true lifesaver for me. Pricing is changing it seems on a weekly basis and I’m able to reflect this in our invoicing and billing with a few stokes of the keyboard. Truly a timesaving and reliable product that helps keep me up-to-date without fail.

Ray Peak - The Flooring Gallery - Louisville, Kentucky

We have been using B2B since 2004. The reason we first started using it was to keep the our product files in sync with the Mill's product files(cost and descriptions). After we were comfortable with those results we began receiving the mill invoices. Invoices are imported in our system. They are then matched against POs and receiving to verify cost and quantity. That is done internally by the programs in our computer. We then receive a list of exception which need to be researched. After about 3 or 4 weeks our AP person said she no longer needed the hard copy from the mill. It greatly reduced the amount of mail we needed to sort in the mornings. I don't recall missing any discounts either. Any problems we had were fixed by either our software company (CDMS), VENCOM or the mill. I wish all the mills were supplying us information via B2B.

When I transitioned to a Mohawk Color Center 2 years ago and added thousands of new products to my showroom the new product names and pricing were overwhelming. B2B helped smooth this transition over for me and my staff. Even now with all of the price changes we are seeing, B2B helps save time and makes sure that we are selling products on the most current pricing.

Hussein Kazimi - Floors Select - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Having the ability to import my entire price list into QuickBooks saved me tons of time and makes my sales staff more efficient. Having up to date price tags on all of my products definitely makes us look more professional then some competitors.

Kevin Rea - Fantastic Floors - Woodbury, Minnesota

B2B definitely saves him time and allows him to focus on other areas of the business besides keeping up with price changes.

Julie Wilson - Accountant - The Floor Store - Peoria, Arizona

B2B is a real time saver and protects our profit margins; the fact that it integrates into QuickBooks Pro is a real plus for us.

The RollMaster B2BExchange helped me import thousands of items into QuickBooks Point of Sale. It would have taken me forever to put all of the items in manually.

I want to express my satisfaction with the Business-to-Business Software; it provides a seamless integration with our Comp-U-Floor system allowing us to save thousands of dollars and become a more productive Company; our sales staff is able to quickly and effectively look-up prices through the computer and process their customer purchase orders efficiently

Scott Bacon - Controller - Broadway Carpets - Knoxville, Tennessee
