I'm in the process of evaluating our systems at work and how we can make them more efficient and to do more work for us.
I've been researching as many possible accounting software packages and am just lost as to what would be the best fit for us, so putting the question out there to get some info on what people who are part of a similar business are using?
Our business is a distribution business selling car detailing products B2C as well as wholesale B2C.
We've been expanding fast over the past few years and are starting to struggle with stock control, admin tasks being done manually taking up too much time and various other little things which we need to sort as soon as possible before we've expanded any more and the job of potentially installing new systems and software becomes a behemoth of a task.
We have 3 of us currently, two directors who handle everything and an accounts person.
We have over 1500 stock lines which we sell via an eCommerce platform as well as to our UK wide distribution network, and in person at our Trade Counter.
Sage 50 Professional, which to me feels like an antiquated piece of software with no possibility to automate and integrate things like our eCommerce platform to stop the double keying of invoices and handling stock levels in the warehouse as well as keeping stock levels up to date for customers on the website.
We don't mind moving away from Sage as now is the time to get these systems and processes nailed down before it's too late.
I've looked at Xero with Unleashed for stock management but as i'm sure you'll understand, I don't want to commit to a system which isn't the right fit.
Sorry for the essay, going round in circles so thought i'd come to the place I ask any question I can't seem to find a solid answer for elsewhere!
Cheers!
