July 21st, 2023 by the STORIS Marketing Team

Technology solutions are the backbone of modern retail operations. STORIS’ philosophy is that both technology solutions and services empower businesses to achieve a return on investment. It is the people on our team that enable this approach to partnership.

Behind many of STORIS’ partnerships built with industry leaders over the last decade is our Enterprise Account Executive and Sales Manager, Brian Robinson. Today, we proudly celebrate Brian’s induction into Home Furnishings Business’ 40 Under 40 Class of 2023.

Brian began his STORIS career as a Client Relations Advocate, working hard for STORIS’ clients to ensure the success of their partnerships. It was here that Brian demonstrated his solid work ethic, excellent follow-up skills, and strong command of the STORIS technology platform. He carried this unique vantage point of customer service forward as he transitioned to sales.

During his time as a new business sales professional, Brian has successfully added more than 50 enterprise-level home furnishings and appliance retailers to the STORIS family. This represents over 5,000 individual users and 500 showroom locations. Some recent and notable members of the STORIS family that joined through Brian include Coco Republic, Empresas Berrios, Factory Direct Enterprise (FDE), Howard’s Appliance, Kittles Furniture, Matter Brothers, Metro Mattress, RC Willey, Standard TV & Appliance, and The Great Escape.

When collaborating with retailers, Brian serves as a consultant, identifying areas of opportunity for each retailer to ensure they are making a strategic investment. He identifies problems retailers are experiencing and crafts solutions leveraging the power of STORIS technology. Brian also maintains strong relationships with industry service providers to help retailers craft their entire technology ecosystems.

“Technology sales requires staying ahead of the curve regarding the latest solutions available to the industry and how they fit into the daily workflows of retailers to enhance their operations. Brian has deep product knowledge regarding advanced technologies from warehouse solutions and logistics to mobile solutions, APIs, eCommerce integrations, and platform extensibility. This empowers him to consult leading retailers and guide them regarding the best technological resources to help them solve problems and achieve their goals.”
