"Prior to working with Accelerance, our company was in need of adding resources to build an internal, web-based tool for our distributors to use for business management purposes,” said Troy Hiltbrand, chief digital officer of Kyäni Corporation. "Not knowing where to start, I discovered Accelerance, was pleasantly surprised to learn the service was free of charge to us and we were able to start work just a month after partnering. I credit Accelerance's personal commitment to matchmaking for the seamless transition we've experienced, and we look forward to exploring additional opportunities to leverage Accelerance across other sectors of our business in the future."
