Trolex Ltd, a leading manufacturer of safety monitoring and sensing technology, has placed an order valued in excess of £55,000 with IT systems reseller, C B Solutions, for business and accounting software, Exchequer Enterprise.
Exchequer Enterprise will be replacing an outdated UNIX system which is not compatible with newer IT hardware and software systems used by the manufacturer and that has ceased to be adequately supported. Enterprise was selected for its broad functionality and ease of integration and connectivity with other business applications.
Andrew Dawson, IT Manager at Trolex, explains: "Enterprise is a modern, Windows-based business and financial accounting system with a user-friendly interface, which means that people throughout the company will be able to use it easily, not just those in the finance department. All of our business information will be accessible via one integrated system, allowing us to share data far more easily throughout the company."
Due to Exchequer Enterprise's ability to link seamlessly with Microsoft Excel and other separate business applications, information can be effortlessly imported and exported to and from the system. This greatly reduces the need for manual intervention which is time consuming and highly prone to errors. The automation of business processes and data transfer will also significantly improve the speed and quality of management reporting information within the organisation.
Dawson comments: "We will be able to create direct links in Enterprise to documents in other systems. For example, we will be able to have links in Enterprise to our production package documents, which are detailed drawings and parts lists required to build our products. This will be of great advantage to our workshop employees when ordering in stock. It will also mean a vast reduction in the need for paper-based documentation around the office."
To drive further efficiency throughout the business, Trolex has invested in Enterprise's Paperless and Sentimail Modules. The Paperless Module will enable the accounts department to send out documents and reports, such as orders, invoices and statements, in a secure format, by fax or email, saving a considerable amount of time and money on stationery, postage and administration.
By integrating intelligent messaging via email with the financial data that is held within Enterprise, Sentimail will push out proactive business alerts to communicate up-to-date financial information and highlight potential issues as they arise. This will be a particularly useful facility for business managers out on the road.
Dawson concludes: "The implementation of Exchequer Enterprise will deliver far more flexibility and efficiency throughout the business, making it much easier for us to present high-level information to the senior management team in order for them to make informed business decisions."
