One of Everest's many success stories is ChefShop.com, an online retailer of gourmet food and ingredients which started out as a storefront shop in Seattle in 1997. Thanks in part to selecting Everest as its business management solution, ChefShop.com has experienced a five-fold increase in productivity and now fulfills orders up to 48 hours faster than it did beforehand.

Faster order fulfillment was a tangible improvement in ChefShop.com's operations and its levels of customer satisfaction. With freshness of the product being a key element of success in its industry, ChefShop.com now plans to further increase the speed of its deliveries by shipping products straight from the sources themselves - sending cherries direct from the orchards and Alaskan salmon

straight from the fisheries. Everest Software's drop-shipping option makes this possible. Everest also enables ChefShop.com to keep track of and fully advertise everything in its 1,200-item inventory, which ranges from exotic Moroccans capers to a selection of fresh meat and fruit. All its items now have a full description and image and are arranged in easy to navigate categories which improves customer usability and encourages increased traffic and sales. ChefShop.com has emerged as a favorite among gourmet chefs and food lovers both in the U.S. and overseas. Everest Software products enable ChefShop.com to keep up with its growing business demands, and help them maintain its position as industry leader.
