American & European Tanning Supply Increases Profitability and Growth With Whaleback Managed Unified Communications

PORTSMOUTH, NH, Aug 20, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Whaleback Managed Services, the leader in managed unified communications services, today announced that American & European Tanning Supply (AETS), one of the best known names in the Southern U.S. region of the indoor tanning industry, has increased profitability and growth using Whaleback's CrystalBlue Cloud-based Managed Unified Communications Services.

"Choosing Whaleback has been one of the best business decisions I've made in 16 years," said Mark Marshall, AETS Owner and President. "I have certainly saved money -- if I were using land line services now it would be double the cost. And with the same monthly fee, I now know what my monthly business communications expense will be and can control my bottom line profitability." Marshall made the move to Whaleback after multiple frustrations with his previous phone service. When he moved his warehouse, phone service broke down and neither of the large landline providers would take responsibility. When AETS also moved offices, the provider could not allow AETS to keep its same phone numbers. Additionally, there was constant uncertainty of phone bill costs. "For some months the phone bill would be extremely high and we could never completely understand why. The phone was a big expense for us," said Marshall.

"It used to be so cost prohibitive for us to hire the best people for our company because they often would have to be relocated at tremendous cost to us. Now we find the best employees from a national pool of candidates, they work from home, and at the drop of a hat we can give them a computer and a phone, easily adding Whaleback support for them," added Marshall. "Even though sales reps are in different states, conference calls sound like they are down the hall from each other." "Whaleback's intelligent, easy-to-use cloud-based UC service allows AETS to focus on what they do best rather than worrying about their phones," said Karil Reibold, CEO of Whaleback Managed Services. "We simplify and enhance the way our customers communicate, while ensuring smooth operations with our proactive, 24/7 monitoring and technical support."
