“If we hadn’t installed this
LINKFresh LABELCheck solution, I can categorically say that we would
have continued to have label accuracy problems, we would have lost
business to the order of 20% on some produce lines that would have
cost us something in the region of £10m of sales. Instead we are in
a position where confidence in us is high and we can continue
competing for more share of the business.”

From a financial viewpoint, I am
also pleased to report that, as a result of having real time access
to accurate data, we have been able to increase our gross margins by
between 4% & 5%. This is a significant commercial return on
investment in a low margin business. Having now experienced how the
LINKFresh solution has helped us to manage in a highly demanding
sector, I could not now imagine operating without it”.

over.”

Solution Summary
|
The company had established a
reputation for excellence in the management and distribution of
adult and children’s bicycles in the UK. However, its
Tetra Chameleon 2000 system lacked the flexibility needed to meet
the growing information needs of the business. The requirement was
to replace the Tetra system with a more flexible and powerful
alternative. This involved the deployment of the Microsoft Navision
system to integrate all of their processes into one enterprise wide
solution.

"The new Microsoft Navision
solution resulted in a massive reduction in
the time taken to carry out
routine tasks, such as producing advice notes/despatch labels and
data input. This has enabled us to operate with fewer processing
staff. These cost savings have meant that we have been able to
realise a return on our investment in 18 months."

"The Microsoft Navision
Solution has turned 30 years of family business knowledge into a
tailored computer system that controls production flow, automates
the complicated quotation process and has taken the work out of
back office processes
including finance and mail order processing. The new system gave us
cost savings in almost every area of the business and enabled us to
achieve a return on our £300,000 investment in 10 months"
