Advanced Communications Launches New Web Site Under ''Encompass'' Brand
Advanced Communications Technologies, Inc. , an integrated reverse logistics holding company serving the consumer electronics industry, announced recently that it has launched a new web site – www.EncompassGroup.com. The new site provides content to more accurately project the Company's strategic mission in the marketplace, and to more specifically address the needs and concerns of the Company's key customers, including manufacturers, third-party administrators (TPAs), retailers and independent service organizations.
According to Wayne Danson, ACT's CEO, the site is designed to showcase Encompass Group Affiliates, Inc., the principal operating company, which continues to evolve as ACT's primary brand. The new site also provides links to the two key business units, Cyber-Test and Vance Baldwin. "The market at large can now get a clear sense of the total breadth and depth of our services and capabilities," said Danson. "At the same time, existing customers of both Cyber-Test and Vance Baldwin can link directly to their current account information."
He emphasized that the site is intended to reveal a bold new vision for the reverse logistics industry – one that offers true global end-to-end product lifecycle management. "At the heart of this is real-time data management across all aspects of the reverse logistics process, as well as an account management approach that is driven by specific customer objectives," said Danson. "Ultimately, our mission is to reshape the industry by providing customers greater control and visibility into the process. As we continue to add content to our new site, it will become increasingly clear to the market how we deliver on this promise."
