Lonesource Signs Contract with ECi Software Solutions
Widely used DDMS software will streamline company acquisitions
CARY, N.C. – April 6, 2010 – Lonesource, a company that helps businesses quickly and easily obtain the everyday products and supplies they rely on to do business, has signed a contract with ECi Software Solutions, the industry’s leading business management and e-commerce solution provider. Lonesource is using ECi’s DDMS® Business Management System to create a seamless transition for its newly acquired companies and future acquisitions.
Many companies Lonesource has acquired are accustomed to using DDMS, including Tennessee office product dealer NOI Supply that was acquired in December 2009.
“Our Tennessee employees have been using DDMS for 15 years and are comfortable with the system,” said Tennessee District Manager Bob Hesson of Lonesource. “With DDMS, Lonesource is making the transition as smooth as possible for its employees and customers.”
DDMS is a comprehensive automation system that helps companies manage their back office functions and track office product purchases. With an integrated Web storefront and Internet-based purchasing, DDMS is a complete order-to-cash management solution. The system automates core business functions such as order entry, inventory, and accounting and also provides management functions such as spend visibility and financial reporting.
“We’re learning from our acquisitions, and we’ve discovered that providing familiar technology like DDMS will help our new employees make a smooth transition into the Lonesource family while continuing to make the customers the first priority,” said Lonesource CEO Bradley King. “Having satisfied new employees from the start will in turn have a positive impact on our customer relations.”
