Paxonix, Inc. Chooses CeradoÂ’s Sales Force Information Service

HALF MOON BAY, CA (PRWEB) April 7, 2004 -

Cerado, a leading provider of sales force information services, has announced that Paxonix, a pioneer and leader in packaging development technology, has chosen CeradoÂ’s Sales Force Information Service as the basis for its sales force information strategy.

Cerado, Inc. offers a robust hosted service that gives sales reps access to the tools and information they need to sell more successfully, and at the same time, the ability to share information between team members. It offers an online contact management system and associated services for the Paxonix sales and marketing team.

”After an extensive evaluation and rigorous trial period, we found that Cerado delivered on their promises. We were looking for a system that was easy to use and allowed our sales team to have immediate access to information on customers and prospects, a system that gave our management clear visibility into the pipeline, and a system that was designed for both online and offline access,” said Kent St. Vrain, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Paxonix. “Cerado has delivered on all of these requirements.”

Paxonix has a highly mobile sales force, and required a solution that had the capability to support both an online, software-as-service model as well as an offline mode for supporting the sales team when they were not connected to the network.

“Both in the office and on the road, Cerado gives us access to the information we need to sell more effectively,” St. Vrain continued. “We’ve been extremely pleased with the solution and our overall relationship with Cerado.”
