Our SVI revenues for our first full year of working with TikkerTape have increased by over 1000% !
They have resolved our SVI reliability issues, increased our profit and allayed our concerns around sharing our confidential data.
SVI used to be a distraction for us, it is now a revenue generator because of TikkerTape.
We rely on TikkerTape’s in depth experience with these programs and their changes to make sure that we are aligned to gain maximum return.
SVI is not always straightforward and having the support and knowledge of TikkerTape has benefitted our balance sheet and my peace of mind.
I would recommend TikkerTape to anyone else; their reputation for diligence and quality and breadth of support is well deserved.
With their assistance, we have been able to redirect our investment in resources and efforts to focus more on sales and less on administration.
