Customer Kudos
|
|
I just wanted to take a moment to express to you how much I appreciated the transition experience for Phase I of the partnership with CDS. This was as seamless and efficient an effort as I have seen in my professional career.
From filling the void of our warehouse inventory on Sharp equipment supplies with Dan Matthews to the delivery and installation of the equipment with Matt Bretz today it has been truly amazing.
