US wholesaler SP Richards has entered into a joint marketing program with Canada-based system provider Systems Solutions (SSI).

As part of the agreement, SSI has agreed to support both existing and new features and functionality respective to SP Richards information systems technology.

“We’re pleased to add SSI to a select group of independent software providers that have demonstrated a successful track record of installations and support in our industry”, said Boyd Rice, SP Richards’ CIO.

“While every independent dealer has a myriad of choices for their system needs, there are a small number of established, commercially available systems that have the necessary features and interfaces required to be competitive in our marketplace today.

“The selection of a new operating system is a difficult decision that depends on the particular needs of each dealership. We want our dealers to have as much information as possible to assist them in making theses decisions. It is with this in mind that we have created this joint marketing program.”

SSI’s president Terry Kelly commented: “Joining SPR's list of independent software vendors is another significant step in SSI's North American expansion strategy.

“SSI is no stranger to SPR having supported their price file, web content and EDI in Canada for the past 10 years - with the integration of SPR’s enhanced web content into SSIWEB, SSI’s web store, by the fall, our offering will be complete.”

"KENTVALE MERCHANTS & PRO HARWARE has been a customer of SSI since 1991. Our computer system has been helping us manage our extremely varied inventory in our Country General Store, established in 1888. We started with just our main Pro Hardeare numbers in our computer system, but continue each year to add more and more. For each item, it's so helpful to see how many we've ordered in the past, how many we've sold and to whom. Unlike so many of our suppliers who sometimes complain of their computers being down for hours or even days, we've had practically no downtime with this system. I hope for many more years of great service from SSI."

"At CHRISTIES OFFICE PLUS we find the people at SSI to be a great team to work with. They have a solid core product as well as add-on modules to meet all of your business needs for a fully integrated front end (e-commerce) and back end computer system. SSI is continually enhancing their product offerings, which makes for an even better, user-friendlier system. Some of this is because the team at SSI listens to their clients and their ever-changing needs. Their system, while fully integrated, is not complicated for our new staff to learn the basic features, which reduce learning time and allow our new staff to focus on the rest of their duties. We have been an SSI client for over 10 years and have enjoyed a great relationship, have seen many enhancements to the product; and look forward to the continued growth of a very stable, reliable product."
