Background
Woodpeckers has been in the business of manufacturing and selling woodworking tools for over 30 years. Based in Strongsville, OH, Woodpeckers does its own machining, engraving, assembly and packing and takes pride in the fact that its tools are truly made in the U.S.A.
Maintaining a secure and compliant environment had become a challenge for Woodpeckers that consumed an excessive amount of resource time and money. Finding a solution was an ongoing issue as Woodpeckers’ payment partner at the time had been inaccessible and provided no guidance.
MACH Software, Woodpeckers’ order management software (OMS) provider, saw similar challenges for many of its customers and actively sought a way to solve the problem. After an extensive vetting process, MACH selected Wind River Payments as its payment partner. Once Wind River was introduced into the relationship, Woodpeckers’ issues were quickly addressed and resolved.
