B2BGateway hits 600lb Gorillas sweet tooth!

600lb Gorillas, manufacturers of all natural, premium frozen desserts, selected B2BGateway as their EDI solutions provider to trade business documents such as purchase orders, invoices and shipping notices to major retailers such as BJs, Costco and Stop & Shop. With ready-to-bake Cookie Dough and ice cream sandwiches so good, 600lb Gorillas pride themselves on blurring the distinction between homemade and store bought, all while using the highest quality, natural ingredients.

CEO and Founder, Paula White, might not allude to where the name 600lb Gorillas came from, but she will elaborate on her experience with B2BGateway’s fully-integrated EDI solution. “Prior to using B2BGateway, I was spending a minimum of 20 hours a week processing invoices, now I literally spend less than 5 minutes,” said White. “In addition, B2BGateway has eliminated errors due to manual data entry, saving our company $1000s each year. An added bonus is our ability to monitor inventory on a day to day basis due to the timely manner in which our invoices are now being processed.”

What started as a business run from her kitchen, White’s delicious treats now grace the freezer section of major retailers nationwide. “Even though we have distribution nationally with some very BIG customers, we are still a small business,” said the CEO. “B2BGateway lets us interact with the BIG guys the way they prefer, via EDI, so they don't have to make any exceptions for us. I would highly recommend B2BGateway. I can't emphasize enough the positive impact B2BGateway and has had on my time, my bookkeeping and ultimately our bottom line!”

Rhode Island Office

I have been with B2BGateway.Net www.b2bgateway.net for a little over 3 ½ years now. I started working in our European Office in Dublin, Ireland. Our EU office has since moved to Galway, Ireland and I have since moved back to Rhode Island. Our Rhode Island office is located in Wyoming, which is a small town in Southern Rhode Island. The town does have other places of business; a grocery store, three pharmacies, a few gas stations, hair salon and two gyms. But I think it is pretty safe to say we are the only Business to Business company in the area. Whenever I am out at lunch and someone happens to ask where I work, I let them know about our office “right down the street”. Most people are extremely interested to hear about what we do. When I first say we are software as a service company specializing in EDI, I lose them. But then I explain to them a real life scenario of B2BGateway.Net being part of the process of getting certain items into the local Stop & Shop or CVS, they are back and interested again. At B2BGateway.Net, we are helping making every day easier for someone somewhere. Like making sure CVS gets the ASN on time for a shipment arriving the next day at CVS Wyoming. I take great pride in knowing we helped make the process a little smoother and I also think the people of Wyoming, RI can take some pride in knowing this is all happening in their little town.
