ESP’s Shipping & Freight Estimator saves time and protects profit margins by providing estimated shipping costs from various carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx) and with multiple delivery options.

Just look for the truck icon on the product detail page.

Shipping fees can be estimated using either product weight or package weight and calculations can be made in pounds, kilos, ounces or grams.

ESP will estimate shipping charges based off the carriers’ currently available information and auto-populate most of the fields for you based on information that is already in our systems.

Safely send product suggestions to your clients without the risk of them price shopping using the supplier's product number or buying from the supplier directly using coded product numbers. With your ESP license, you are automatically provided with new codes that are unique to your company only, for every product in the database.

These codes will be consistent for all ESP users within your company and will appear on any product presentations you create using the program.

In ESP Web, you have the option to use virtual samples to provide a digital rendering of their logo on enabled items.

Weigh the pros and cons of various products instantly using Product Compare in ESP. With Product Compare, you can lay out the features of each product side-by-side to visually compare each one.

If you’re interested in only comparing certain features of the products, check the boxes for those fields and hit the Show only marked fields link to simplify your comparison.

For more information, please review the Compare Products section of the Manage Product Results article.

Rating a supplier in ESP Web is a great way to share your positive or negative experiences with other ESP users. Start by finding the supplier listing using the Supplier Search option in the search bar. You can search by their ASI number or company name.

Once you have found the listing for the supplier you want to rate, click the Rate This Supplier link at the bottom of their company listing.

This will take you to the Supplier Ratings Submissions window, where you can identify specific aspects of your experience working with this supplier. You have the ability to rate each aspect on a spectrum from Very Poor to Excellent.

There is also a box for Additional Comments where you can add more details about your experience.

You can customize not only the look and feel of your presentation, but also determine which fields are included by creating and saving a custom template in ESP Presentations! After creating a new presentation, configure it to contain only the fields you would like to show, as well as set the color scheme. Then, click on the Save As Template button. The template will then be available for all future presentations.

The live inventory feature provides distributors with the most accurate and up-to-date information provided directly by the supplier, all right within ESP. This handy feature saves time by providing inventory information with just one click!
