Listen to CIO Ziad El-Jamal of Manhattan Beer Distributors on why they use eoStar as their route accounting solution:

“When Simon Bergson founded Manhattan Beer Distributors over 40 years ago, he started out in a 4,000 square-foot warehouse with three delivery trucks and two brands. Today we have 1.4 million feet of warehousing, over 500 trucks, 350 brands, and over 1,800 employees. We deliver over 45 million cases of beer each year to over 25,000 customers in a service area spanning fifteen New York counties.

When we went through an evaluation process, we analyzed multiple route-accounting platforms including eoStar. We needed a system that had multiple modules that fit our business now, and one that was scalable for growth in the future. eoStar has the route accounting, inventory, forecasting, sales reporting, plus the WMS all integrated. It was important to us that they could provide a comprehensive solution and support our 24-hour-a-day operation.

One thing we were very pleased with was the learning curve was minimal, which made the transition and the implementation easy. We went from a paper-based system to a handheld technology solution overnight.

Over the years we’ve been approached by reps who sell similar solutions, but they don’t compare to eoStar so there has been no reason to switch. eoStar has helped our company become the company we are today.”
