Improving controls & Efficiency

A Clothing Retailer and Importer in central Manchester was struggling to keep on top of the paperwork and accounting.  They used Sage Instant Accounts to record the transactions of two separate businesses and used a number of Excel spreadsheets to record Stock movements and reconcile daily takings.  Unfortunately, as sales volumes grew, the  paperwork increased and the manual effort needed to process the information became very time consuming.   Needless to say, when Accware were called in to help, there was a significant backlog of work.  We spent time with the MD understanding the business and his objectives and subsequently recommended they upgrade to Sage 50 Professional linked to an industry specific Stock Management application supplied by one of our Partners.  Accware managed the process of upgrading Sage Instant to a multi-company, networked version of Sage 50 Professional, training the staff  in the process.  Our partner handled the installation and integration of the Stock Management application, so the whole Stock process (procure to pay) could be managed within one integrated solution.
