How Slyman Bros Modernized Operations with Appliance.io
Running a high-volume appliance business isn’t easy — especially when you’re managing online orders, showroom sales, deliveries, warehouse operations, and customer communication all at once.
At Slyman Bros, we knew we needed something better than spreadsheets and outdated systems. That’s why we made the switch to Appliance.io — an all-in-one software platform built specifically for appliance retailers.
Today, Appliance.io powers nearly every part of our operations, helping us stay efficient, organized, and customer-focused at scale.
Built for Appliance Retail — Not Just Generic POS
Unlike general-purpose POS systems, Appliance.io was designed from the ground up for the unique needs of appliance dealers. It understands how we actually work — managing serialized inventory, coordinating deliveries by line item, syncing with distributor feeds, and handling complex orders with multiple products, delivery dates, and payment methods.
For us, that’s a game-changer.
What Appliance.io Helps Us Do
Here are just a few ways the platform supports our daily operations:
Real-Time Delivery Routing: Our logistics team handles 100+ deliveries a day, and Appliance.io makes it easy to route those efficiently and keep customers updated.
In-Stock Inventory Feeds: Our website only shows what's actually in stock across multiple warehouses and distributors.
Quote-to-Order Workflow: We can start with a quote, revise it, and convert it into an order without losing track of anything.
Integrated Online Sales: Our website is fully synced with the platform, including pricing, availability, and customer data.
A System That Grows With Us
Since switching to Appliance.io, we’ve expanded into new categories, opened additional showrooms, and grown our online sales to over $5 million annually. The software has scaled with us every step of the way — no clunky workarounds or patchwork systems.
