Empire Merchants is a premier wine and spirits distributor, serving the New York City metropolitan area, Long Island, and Westchester County.

Due to the distributor’s limited and specific customer base – New York area liquor license holders – maintaining strong customer relations is critical. With the deployment of the 8×8 XCaaS integrated cloud contact center and unified communications platform, Empire Merchants can focus on delivering excellent customer service and building stronger relationships with their customers and vendors. The scalable, easy-to-integrate 8×8 XCaaS platform allows them to be nimble in their response times and telephony management, regardless of where the employee or customer is located.

“Our window to deploy a new communications platform was small, so we needed a solution that was simple, efficient, and cost effective,” said Edward Lederer, Chief Information Officer at Empire Merchants. “8×8 XCaaS was the perfect solution. We were able to deploy rapidly, and there are also endless opportunities to access and share resources, control user permissions, and boost productivity through better collaboration. We’re excited to work with 8×8 to discover how we can continue to improve our communications experience.”
