Customer Since: 2019

i3 Commerce Technology Representative: Rachel Gantz

Why Did You Choose to Work with i3 Commerce Technology?

“When our clients began paying with credit cards more, it was essential that we analyzed our card acceptance fees for cost-saving opportunities. i3 Commerce Technology Representative, Rachel Gantz, worked diligently to review our prior procedures and found efficiencies that better suited our business. i3 Commerce Technology’s robust services and reporting, via their web terminals and POS systems, have helped move our business forward. Traditionally, the Independent’s sole revenue source was advertising dollars and those transactions are managed through one accounting platform. Now, i3 Commerce Technology’s platform has given us the ability to manage new income revenue streams and accept direct reader contributions through our website. As we move into the future, the flexibility and reporting options i3 Commerce Technology offers will not limit our growth opportunities.”

What’s Your Favorite Part About Working with i3 Commerce Technology?

“I enjoy working with vendors that are in Santa Barbara and as the community’s resource for local news, arts, and cultural reporting, the Independent thrives when local business thrives. With a trusted partner like i3 Commerce Technology, we can ensure our limited resources are being spent on the essentials and not on unnecessary business expenses.”
