REAL LIFE EXAMPLE

Complex Multi Location Engineers

Initial discussions with our client uncovered the following problems/needs:

  • Complex inventory management – for example, the same product being stocked at multiple locations, with varying costs per location too.

  • At any one time, there would be a large number of Jobs and Projects with different Job/Project managers that needed managing efficiently.

  • As well as having multiple branch locations this client also operates a number of vans delivering stock to resellers and performing external repair work whilst on the road.

  • Profit and Loss reporting needed to be accurately broken down not only by Branch, but also by Department within each Branch.

  • Need to be able to automate the transfer of inventory held in the main store on to Jobs belonging to a different branch.

ABM’s fully integrated ERP package, with inventory and job costing made it easy to recommend for our client.  Unlike using separate 3rd party add-ons from different suppliers, ABM’s many integrated modules provided a consistent interface and method of use to aid the adoption of the software within the business.

Accurate Profit & Loss reporting over multiple locations was achieved easily with minimal additional work,  with our client site only having to manage inventory and work in progress.

Flexible user security within ABM means that managers and staff can only see the information that was relevant to their role, and with their accountants’ periodic assistance to ensure their data accuracy, the business was able to meet the reporting requirements right through from the board of directors  to the managers looking after the day to day workload.

A small business can have the same needs as their larger counterparts for:

  • Job costing/management

  • Inventory control

  • Special job and invoice reporting for specific customers

  • Slightly different ways of calculating and charging for time

  • Time tracking for invoicing and payroll

  • Accurate accrual based profit reporting

3rd party add-ons to ‘small business software’ aren’t always the best answer!

Strategic Software have put together a ‘Small Business’ job costing pack. 

Utilising ABM’s fully integrated software with Job Costing, Inventory Control and many other functions seamlessly integrated to the General Ledger, Strategic Software added specialised reporting and training to create one cohesive package for our client.

If you are a smaller business, you too can have the same functionality and peace of mind that a fully integrated system provides.
