This portfolio of success stories will give you a good sense of the kind of problems we work with, how we approach them, and the results we get.

Promax Tool Company

How we upgraded this manufacturer’s Sage BusinessWorks, then provided an integration for importing orders, saving them many hours every week.

Problem - Reduce data entry time and errors from large Excel orders.

Solution - Use the order importing function in Sage BusinessWorks with our programming skills to electronically import the orders.

Result - Savings of several hours every week plus more accurate orders providing cost savings sufficient to provide a return on their entire accounting software upgrade, plus more.

As a manufacturer of specialized cutting tools for metal, Promax Tool Company’s mission is to manufacture and distribute premium performance carbide cutting tool products that satisfy customer requirements and expectations 100% of the time.

BASC upgraded Promax’s Sage BusinessWorks from v12 to BW Gold, and then wrote a order entry import program that allows their operations manager to import large orders directly from an Excel spreadsheet provided to them by one of their biggest customers. On a weekly basis, this import saves Promax many hours of re-keying data, plus it increases the accuracy of the large orders.

In addition, BASC has also provided Promax their Part Batch Editor tool which allows for exporting large number of inventory parts to Excel for editing, and then importing the changes back to the Sage BusinessWorks inventory at the touch of a button. Both of these enhancements has saved Promax many hours of time, enabling them to recoup their entire investment back from Sage BusinessWorks many times over.

Interstate Sales

Describes how we installed Sage BusinessWorks to replace an older version of Peachtree called MICA, and helped them stabilize their accounting data.

Problem - Replace obsolete accounting software that crashed.

Solution - Have BASC provide Sage BusinessWorks, conversion of data, training, and implementation.

Result - A reliable solution with high data integrity that will handle their needs for years to come.

Interstate Sales is a family run business located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. For over 35 years, they have been in the wholesale distribution of Highway Safety Devices.

After experiencing several major crashes and rebuilds with a Peachtree product known as MICA, Interstate Sales began to search for a replacement system. After interviewing several vendors, Interstate Sales chose BASC to install, train, convert data, and implement Sage BusinessWorks. By using our training methodology of training and scheduling tasks via our workpaper notes system, BASC was able to help Interstate Sales transition smoothly to Sage BusinessWorks. All the data problems have been eliminated, backup processes are in place, and now Interstate Sales will start to fine tune the system to save them even more time and money.

Training Case Study

How we helped this multiple location retailer reduce their accounting expenses by over 50% while improving the quality of their in-house information.

One of our customers has half a dozen retail stores, and used their accounting firm to provide their financials and bookkeeping services. BASC replaced their older Great Plains system, and then provided them training on producing their financial statements in-house. Once the staff was trained properly on procedures like bank reconciliation, entering in bank transactions properly, and producing financial statements, the retail operation has been saving thousands of dollars every month in reduction of their accounting fees. This has resulted in a very big return on their Sage BusinessWorks investment, many times over.

Training and Custom Development

How we helped a manufacturer improve their internal accounting information, and streamline processes by adding functionality to Sage BusinessWorks.

A manufacturing client had used Sage BusinessWorks for many years, but never understood the financial reporting in the General Ledger. They produced all their financial statements in Excel, manually transferring numbers from Sage BusinessWorks reports.

Once we were able to train the controller on how the financial numbers are produced by Sage BusinessWorks, he was able to feel comfortable enough to produce the reports he needed directly from the system, eliminating data re-entry. Once we were able to understand their processes better, we were able to introduce improvements to their system, such as automatically importing sales orders from emails created by their website. We also were able to provide a manufacturing monitoring system that allows their warehouse staff in 2 different locations to update the production schedules from order entry, allowing for management to better monitor productivity.
