Firwood Paints
Firwood Paints had disparate systems for its financial and operational data, and its CRM data, making it difficult to obtain a clear view of the entire company’s operations.
Sage X3, with its broad integrated functionality, including CRM, financial, distribution, business intelligence, and a specialised feature set to support companies in the manufacturing sector, made it an ideal fit for Firwood Paints
Integration with the company’s ecommerce site speeds order handling and eliminates duplicate data entry. Automated workflows eliminate the need to print and mail invoices and statements, cutting postage costs by 75% and stationary expenses by 40%. Reporting capabilities have improved dramatically, providing insight and decision-making data to management and staff throughout the organisation.
