Tristate Distribution - Ombe.com Featured Seller Serving the Office Equipment Dealer Since 1977 Serving the office equipment dealer since 1977 from its headquarters in Brooklyn N.Y. (U.S.), Tristate Distribution has evolved from a corner camera store in Manhattan into a diversified, multilayered operation support- ed by a system of strategic warehouse sites throughout the United States. "Our growth has been phenomenal," said Sidney Eisenberger, general manager, adding that he attributed the company's suc- cess to its personalized customer service, attention to workflow detail, and an experi- enced sales and support staff. "We take care of our customers. We pride ourselves in being the number one in service, in customer support, and on-time shipping." Eisenberger explained. "We move quickly and take care of issues when they surface. When you are selling to dealers, you are removed from their end user … but that dealer is not – that's his bread and butter. Now while we are a big guy and they are the small guy, if we don't take care of them that small guy is going to disappear, which has happened to many, many over the years. So whether you are a large distributor or small dealer, we are going to treat you the same." Changing technology is always a challenge to business. Eisenberger said their growth comes from staying up on the ever-changing technology, being creative, and flexible, but the key element was simply listening to their customers. "It's having real people on the phone who are going to listen to you," Eisenberger said. "Personal attention. Rarely will you call in and get a voice mail, unless we are closed." Tristate provides many services including no minimum order and blind drop ships. Quantity price breaks are offered, flexible financing and same day ship- ping is emphasized. "You buy what you need when you need it. You need advice, tech support, parts, service, inventory, we've got it," Eisenberger said. "We don't say no."
