How Does Your Business Grow?...Integrated Functionality

In an ever more competitive climate, companies must make certain business processes are as efficient as possible. An ERP system can help streamline operations by eliminating manual, time-consuming processes, thereby freeing up employees to complete more tasks in a given day or focus on other areas that deserve more attention.

Integrated business management solutions, such as Sage ERP X3, integrate your business management processes into one common database and distribute information  throughout your company in real time, thus avoiding manual re-entry of data. The results are no time lost, fewer errors and reliable, coherent data. Integrated ERP systems also offer a common application interface enabling users to more easily back up each other or switch roles without the need for new training.

Additionally, an integrated management system can help you operate your business over time with a limited IT staff and technological investment.

Customer Case:

When Sligh Furniture Co., a family-owned furniture supplier located in Holland, MI, restructured its organization, one result was fewer employees managing more responsibilities. The company needed an ERP system that could significantly streamline operations, while being easy to use and cost effective.

According to Rick Albertie, Systems Manager for Sligh Furniture, “Sage ERP X3’s integrated functionality has definitely helped streamline our operations.” The company has seen a large reduction in the amount of manual, paper-based processes and reduced month end closings by two days.

As Sage ERP X3 consolidates data into one common database, information is now easily accessible by all users and, thanks to user-friendly forward/backward audit trail functionality, coupled with the powerful User Portal and Dashboards, the reliance on IT staff to find and analyze the information has been reduced. In fact, according to Mike Schermer, Director of Supply Chain for Sligh Furniture, Sligh is positioned to grow into other markets without adding additional IT resources.
