D.Tec International Limited
'It was important for me to have clear visibility of sales orders, departmental costs, profits etc. so I could make crucial decisions in order to achieve our growth targets. We now have a system which allows me to have a more proactive approach towards new business opportunities.' Ean - Director - D.Tec International
Key challenges
- D.Tec’s legacy system used multiple spreadsheets to record sales and financial activity, raise invoices, manage cash flow and stock. This process was time consuming as staff had to enter the same data many times in different files. This caused inaccuracies and added delays in reporting on key trends.
- As a market leader, D.Tec were winning larger contracts and to make the most of this growth potential they needed to quickly evaluate new business opportunities and make staff available to focus on supplying them.
- D.Tec wanted to expand the team but found it difficult without a transparent system which new colleagues could easily pick up and work with.
- D.Tec have a sales manager who needs to be mobile. He had no real way to accurately report on sales meetings with potential customers and new opportunities, other than calling back to the office.
- The security of data on their blue chip customers activities is paramount, consequently D.Tec also required secure off site data and reliable back up arrangements.
