Everyone needs their own view
CEO Bruce Rayment wanted all the company’s employees to have a personalised view of the tasks they needed to perform and information they needed to access.
“Our customer base is broad and diverse, we have a lot of stock-keeping units and a lot of small order quantities that are being distributed,” explains Bruce.
“We need a system that’s able to make it easy for our staff to provide inventory information to our clients when they make enquiries on the phone or to our sales force in the field when they’re discussing requirements with our customers,” he says.
"Greentree is an exceptional system in the sense that we’re able to view all of our stock nationally."
Integration for accuracy
Greentree rolled multiple, disparate systems, databases and
spreadsheets into one integrated system. Integration has effectively
eliminated manual processes, reduced huge amounts of data entry time
and significantly improved information flows and accuracy
"Greentree also allows us to standardise our processes, making us more efficient across the business."
Quality data for all
“The business benefits are enormous. It enables us to manage our inventory better, to analyse customers’ sales patterns and purchases and to analyse product movements very well. It also allows our sales team to manipulate data and to judge it against various parameters like sales revenue, budget and gross profitability.
We get enormous value for money out of Greentree; it’s been able to handle the increasing size, scale and complexity of the business as its grown quite easily,” Bruce concludes.
"Greentree provides information that enables us to make better decisions every day."
