Burbidge withstands the heat of competition with Sage X3

Burbidge & Son Ltd - United Kingdom

Coventry-based Burbidge is a fifth-generation business that makes and distributes premium kitchens. A long-term user of Sage products, the firm employs around 75 people.

Streamlining a complex business

Burbidge was looking for a flexible platform to allow multiple module integration to cope with the  diverse aspects of the business. This is because Burbidge offers a unique manufacturing proposition, whereby many component parts – which may come from stock or be made to order – are collated and distributed as required. 

We use many modules in the Sage X3 platform. We’re a manufacturing business … have a warehouse, we distribute to our customers. So, we have a fairly complex challenge.

Sage X3 provides a modular solution, integrates all areas of the business

Having used Sage X3 for many years, Burbidge’s deployment of the platform has become rich and diverse, supporting many parts of the business. Because the Sage X3 platform is designed to integrate multiple modules, all elements run smoothly together, however complex the process and whatever transactions are involved.

We use the sales order processing module extensively for the distribution side of the business, and that ties in seamlessly with the manufacturing module.

Sage technology gives Burbidge room to grow

For Burbidge, a key benefit of Sage X3 is the platform’s support of innovation and speed of response. The business can develop new ideas quickly and easily, because Sage X3 adapts and flexes according to their needs. That means Burbidge can operate in its own way but also try out new approaches, safe in the knowledge that Sage X3 will meet the challenge. 

When you’re running a sophisticated business … you need that automatic, seamless integration to work smoothly — and it really does with Sage X3.
