However, Bertoni sees the investment into an e-commerce enabled Website as a way to eventually improve his efficiency while saving money—not only for Imaging Supplies & Equipment, but also for its clients.

Clients can then use a host of tools that enable them to track deliveries, as well as their spending habits. Customers can also order some supplies over the Internet, Bertoni explains.
