Built For
PosterGarden
A catchy name, stylish displays and timing lead to a growing business
for PosterGarden, a successful provider of portable tradeshow and event display products, that includes a full line of display products like retractable banner stands, popup booths, tabletop displays, event tents, flags and accessories, all of which can be custom-printed with the customers’ graphics.
With roots in graphic design and a brief partnership designing point-of-sale signage for retail garden shops, PosterGarden has evolved into an innovative, customer-focused leader in portable displays.
“Our goal is simple,” Travis Rigby, president & founder of PosterGarden said.
“We want our customers to have the best looking, easiest to use, and most durable display at the best prices available.”
Rigby attributed a large portion of PosterGarden’s success to the fact that PosterGarden was able to enter the market at a time when retractable stands first launched.
“We were the first in the game for retractable stands,” he said. “What really helped us was printing and mailing a large number of catalogs every quarter, which really got our name out there.”
Managing an entire business
Prior to using Acctivate, Poster Garden used another system that was limited for inventory management.
Poster Garden president and founder, Travis Rigby, said the final deciding factor for Acctivate was that it had all of the features that PosterGarden needed, including:.
Workflow
We use this feature to track the jobs through the entire process of the customer sale. It also allows us to order more efficiently.”
Mobile
The mobile capability has allowed better performance and more accurate shipments between their two warehouses.
One of the main benefits of the mobile feature is the joy of having accurate counts.”
Kitting
The kitting feature is used frequently within the company.
We use kitting for different part numbers needed for the parts it takes to build our different customer kits.”
Drop Shop
The dropship feature helps to speed up PosterGarden’s shipping process.
We have seen an improvement in calculations since using drop shipping and it just makes everybody’s life easier.”
Shipping
The shipping workstation module allows PosterGarden to type in an order number and automatically pull up any information that they need for that order.
Shipping workstation helps us by improving efficiency and it also improves communication to the customer.”
A growing business needs centralized information
One specific feature that PosterGarden needed was software that allowed them easy access from their central database.
Acctivate allows us to tie everything together inside of our database. So if a project manager goes to place an order, Acctivate provides all the information that we need.”
