What Some of Our Customers Say

Kathy P.,
Sales Manager

“Before working with ERS I could not get the buyer to answer the phone. Now she calls me every Monday morning to find out what is happening with the business.”

Janet F.,
COO

“ERS is like a special forces group that complements our planning team- teaching us best practices and implementing actionable tools that enabled our business to reach a higher level. The ROI has been tremendous.”

Etai G.,
Owner

“ERS is completely immersed in our business. From POS reporting to forecasting and inventory management they enable us to make better merchandising decisions and keep our inventory balanced.”

Scott M.,
Dir. Retail Marketing

“Preparing for meetings has become easy because we have the retailer’s POS analysis information presented better than the retailer!”

Greg M.,
CEO

“ERS provides actionable information from multiple data sources in a specific format we requested. We simply couldn’t do it with our own resources. They are forward thinking and a pleasure to work with.”

Janet F.,
EVP

“Our eCommerce business has reached an inflection point. Sales have been phenomenal, but the way we operate today is not scalable. ERS is providing knowledge, best practices, planning disciplines and custom software to manage our business in ways we did not think possible.”

John R.,
EVP

“Partnering with ERS enabled us to create a simplified yet robust planning process and system for managing the sourcing plans of thousands of items. In seconds we gain full visibility from factory to store with a report deck that would have taken us a week to produce.”
