“Beltech was instrumental in assisting Adel Wholesalers in our recently completed Software Conversion. Beltech was involved in every aspect of this project; from initial software evaluation, to employee training, to data conversion from our legacy system, to go-live planning and implementation, to the documentation of system procedures, and to troubleshooting post-implementation problems. Dan and Ralph were always focused on meeting the needs, schedules, and timetables of Adel. The success of our conversion was due in a large part to their unwavering commitment to service and response to our needs. It was indeed a pleasure to have these gentlemen serve as our partners during this process.”

“As the world’s largest wholesale distributor of pool supplies, SCP Distributors recognized the need for RF Technology and Advanced Warehousing. We feel fortunate to have worked with Beltech. Whether its been piloting through software changes, developing scaleable approaches to both bar code technology or warehouse designs for our 100+ locations, or providing training, support, and experience, Beltech ultimately helped bridge the gap between the theoretical software world and actual wholesale distribution.”

Dear Dan,
I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how grateful we are for all of the assistance you and Beltech Group provided during the conversion from our legacy system to a new state of the art software system. We realize that most conversions probably involve you more than we did, but you still serviced us as though we were your top customer. Your willingness to help us save money was also greatly appreciated. I did not think my role as a sales manager would include remembering how to convert data from Unix to ASCII and importing to Excel. That was something I learned years ago, and didn’t think I would be using ever again. Your guidance, and patience, will never be forgotten.
I wish you well, and if you ever need a reference, do not hesitate to have your prospect contact me.
Sincerely,
James L. Redmer
