In response to new security concerns, Haskell New York Inc. has updated its system to accommodate new standards in encryption, database handling and server administration. Their flagship site, OfficeSalesUSA.com now uses the heavier / more secure SHA-2 encryption, PDO (PHP Data Objects) and industry standard cPanel on its new server. Haskell has also performed a complete compliance review and updated its GSA (General Services Administration) schedule as mandated by its GSA Schedule 75 contract.As a member of the AbilityOne program and a DOD (Department of Defense) EMALL member, Haskell regularly updates its schedule as required by FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) and executive orders. A portion of AbilityOne sales helps support individuals living with extreme disabilities. The updated schedule includes 161 additional AbilityOne items. Government employees can purchase these products from OfficeSalesUSA.com as well as GSA Advantage and the DOD EMALL.
OfficeSalesUSA.com also now provides a more secure login for registered customers and a more robust experience finding product information. The shopping cart has been completely reengineered to include product selling points, more attributes, more accessories and related items plus an "also bought" section and alternate product images.
Haskell sells office supplies and office furniture throughout the country and abroad via its global shipping partner. Since 1928, the company has been at the forefront of innovative changes that set it apart on customer service and efficiency. With fully scalable administrative features like multiple order approval levels, individual spending limits, default departments, cost centers, "ship-tos" and the ability to assign reward credits to users, approvers or a designated approver, few purchasing sites can compare. Each item ordered is meticulously checked both electronically and by a procurement specialist to ensure everything is filled. End users also have the ability to search order history, recreate orders and even return / exchange merchandise online.
For three generations, Haskell has strived to be the best in its class as it watched competitors come and go. While the office superstores have tried to monopolize the industry, endless voice mail queues and long callback periods provide incentives for a different kind of office stationer - one that keeps up with the technology but still values the personal touch that made it famous.
