The wholesale landscape has been evolving for some time, and COVID has become the new variable!

The goal with these 3 surveys is to understand the current climate from all 3 perspectives (showrooms/reps, the brands and the retailers) and to find ways of helping the reps in an already struggling industry.
Using the resulting summary for the brand & retailer’s informal surveys (see BRANDS and RETAILERS links below), we will share our insight in this post in upcoming weeks.

All responses are collected anonymously. Name or email will not be required. The survey forms are hosted by Google and are subject to its Policy & Terms.

There are 3 different surveys, for…
1. Reps (from Showroom Exchange to you)
2. Brands (for you to ask your Brands)
3. Retailers (for you to ask your Retailers)

Your participation is greatly appreciated.

2. Select Monthly

Based on your Task, you can always create different column sets using CUSTOMIZE THIS VIEW and switch between them with SAVED SEARCHES

NOTE: if you do not see your web-browser listed, simply Google the name of your web-browser followed with “zoom out”, e.g.; “safari zoom out”

your brand sends you a list of POs and you’d like to look them up in SE

this solution is not limited to the MfrPOs and can also be used with the following pages/columns:

Customer Tab – customer – customercode

Order Tab – mfrpo – customer – customercode

Invoice Tab – mfrpo – customercode – invnum

note:
SE will automatically insert the vertical bars – more on search symbols
for mac/OS X, use CMD key instead of Ctrl

If you would like to be notified when a rep…
– saves a report result as PDF or CSV/Excel
– uses Print option or ExportToExcel on the Customers, Orders and/or Invoices tab(s)

Complete the following form…
