Evosus, Inc., makers of Evosus Business Management Software, a fully integrated software program designed specifically for the pool and spa industry, has now fully integrated its software with the Pool Corp system, a move which will streamline interactions between pool retailers and their Pool Corp distributors.
One of the most powerful aspects of the integration is the ability to mass import all new inventory items as well as mass update all costs on all existing inventory items for up-to-the-minute accuracy. The integration also allows users to electronically submit purchase orders from Evosus directly to Pool Corp and electronically review order line items, back orders and even review accounts payable line item receipts.
"The Pool Corp’ integration allows retailers to leverage the Evosus platform while improving efficiency, quality control and effectiveness," says Christina Braks, VP of software product for Evosus.

NSPF Launches International Websites
To better serve pool and spa professionals around the globe, the National Swimming Pool Foundation has launched five new international websites in Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador and Panamá.
These websites will serve colleagues around the world with NSPF’s preeminent educational courses, materials and focus — to keep pools safer and more efficient around the world. When people visit the websites, they are greeted in their language and culture, and can purchase online courses with their currency.
“Each site is designed to look like the country so that it speaks to the individual who is visiting,” explained Silvia Uribe, NSPF international business development manager. “While all of these countries are primarily Spanish speaking, they each have their own identity — each website makes those visitors feel at home.”
