ADUS Executives as well as its excellent sales & merchandising teams possess the required experience of treating KRITON ARTOS’ products as if they were their own products. ADUS teams are capable to continuously implement all the merchandising activities and the order taking process, by consistently offering us the visual experience of the products at every point of sale on the shelf, as well as competitors’ behavior in a continuous and timely information feedback. ADUS helps us achieve economies of scale, sales growth, adapting our policy in a flexible and prompt way enabling us to get a clear picture from every point and at an impressively lower cost compared with what would be required by us to invest, run and manage via in-house resources.”
