In 2023, Emerald Business Supply implemented ECi DDMSPlus as its Dealership Management application. The upgrade was coordinated with ECi Software Solutions digital services to pair backend DDMSPlus capabilities with a redesigned customer-facing website at ebsupplies.com.
The engagement combined a front-end ecommerce and content redesign with the DDMSPlus graphical interface deployed across operations. ECi DDMSPlus provided enhanced graphical options used by the furniture director and standard Dealership Management workflows for order entry, catalog presentation, and inventory visibility. The digital services work targeted five landing pages, a revised homepage, and favorites and online ordering flows to reduce friction for repeat purchases. Implementation emphasized iterative design workshops, rapid mockups, and configuration of catalog and landing page mappings.
ECi's digital services team routed requests to ecommerce and technical specialists within ECi to align the website with DDMSPlus order and inventory screens. Operational scope included sales, customer service, furniture sales, and marketing teams at Emerald Business Supply, with sales reps trained to place orders directly through the site instead of forwarding orders to customer service. Inventory visibility and substitution suggestions were surfaced on-screen, enabling sales-led order completion and direct customer online ordering.
Governance followed a phased rollout starting with the five landing pages and extending through iterative content and visual updates, with close collaboration between Emerald and ECi designers. The project prioritized staged delivery and reuse of page resources to extend functionality for furniture without purchasing additional pages. Training and rapid responsiveness from ECi were used to accelerate adoption and refine ordering workflows.
Emerald reported explicit outcomes tied to the integrated website and ECi DDMSPlus implementation, including a stated labor savings equivalent to one and a half employees or 60 hours per week, a reduction in inbound phone ordering as customers migrated to the site, and reported sales growth that doubled year over year with indications of further growth. These outcomes were attributed to improved online ordering, clearer catalog navigation, and the integrated DDMSPlus graphical interface.

In 2022, Emerald Business Supply implemented ECI ECinteractivePlus as its eCommerce front end. The initiative ran alongside an upgrade to ECI DDMSPLUS and a site redesign delivered with ECI Digital Services.
ECI ECinteractivePlus was configured to enhance online self service, catalog and customer account workflows, and to provide web order capture and checkout functionality typical of eCommerce platforms. The implementation emphasized real-time inventory visibility and order synchronization between the ecommerce storefront and DDMSPLUS to support order accuracy and fulfillment workflows. Automation of order routing and confirmation messaging was introduced to reduce manual order processing.
Integrations were explicitly implemented between ECI ECinteractivePlus and ECI DDMSPLUS to enable the real-time inventory and order sync reported in the case study. Operational coverage focused on the distributor's sales and customer service functions within Emerald Business Supply's Philadelphia operations, supporting online self service for end customers. The integration preserved central inventory and order records in DDMSPLUS while surfacing availability and order status through the ecommerce storefront.
Project governance included a partnership model with ECI Digital Services for design and rollout, with go live timing estimated from the published case study timeline. The case study reports outcomes attributed to the combined DDMSPLUS upgrade and ecommerce revamp, specifically approximately 60 hours per week saved in labor and a 100 percent increase in annual sales. These outcomes were tied to improved online self service and real-time inventory and order synchronization implemented via ECI ECinteractivePlus in the eCommerce category.
