Client Success Stories

Read how clients meet their unique operational challenges and improve their performance with Sage PFW

Albtrade Group
Albtrade Group began operations with a singular focus. But rapid growth and new business lines quickly outpaced its entry-level accounting solution’s capabilities. Albtrade Group now runs two separate company’s, with plans for a third, all through Sage PFW. Real-time inventory control allows the company to accurately forecast profitability.

Bee Maid Honey Ltd.
Bee Maid Honey’s in-house financial system lacked batching and sophisticated inventory capabilities, and did not permit the tracking necessary for modern quality control. Now with Sage PFW, monthly financial reports are available for greater cost control; and flexibility in scheduling batch runs has reduced plant inventory levels while maximizing inventory levels of finished goods.

CapsCanada Corporation
Spinning off from a soft-gel capsule manufacturer, CapsCanada wanted to maintain the same high-quality accounting and batch control standards as its former parent. Sage PFW reduces order-to production time by 20 percent, trims inventory needs by 10 percent, and increases total operational efficiencies by 30 percent.

ChevronTexaco Global Lubricants Canada
With a culture of ongoing expansion, ChevronTexaco required a very flexible, scalable, and easy-to-modify business system with customizable parameters. Sage PFW now supports a full spectrum of business operations, including processing 3,000 transactions a month, and has eliminated the need to hire two more full-time employees.

Citizen Potawatami Nation
The Citizen Potawatomi Nation needed to obtain an automated business solution that provided advanced inter-organizational capabilities to manage 100 financial entities and $14 million in federal contracts. Sage PFW has streamlined, inter-company integration; centralized financial records; and cut payroll processing from five days to two.

Coast To Coast, Inc
Coast To Coast had a high transaction volume that was handled manually. It was labor intensive, inefficient, and prone to errors. Now with Sage PFW, they enjoy savings of at least two person days’ labor each week, and no increase in staff required despite 65 percent increase in sales.

Franklin Foods
Using manufacturing software designed for discrete manufacturing was not flexible enough to support operations for Franklin Foods. Now with Sage PFW, Franklin Foods can plan and forecast to maximize resources; has flexible inventory costing and tight tracking controls; and compliance with government food safety regulations.

Gemini Industries, Inc.
Gemini Industries needed to integrate and automate information systems for laboratory, manufacturing, inventory, retail, and accounting functions. With Sage PFW they now have system wide integration and streamlined automation; enhanced operational efficiency from lab through sales order; seamless, real-time data flow; strategic management from finer details to big-picture profitability.

Millennium Foods
Entry-level accounting software and a collection of spreadsheets holding recipes and batch production information made it increasingly difficult for Millennium foods to track inventory production accurately and maintain compliance. Now with Sage PFW, inventory turns increased by 20 percent, resulting in a savings of nearly half a million dollars each year.

Newport Furniture Parts Corporation
Newport Furniture Parts needed to expand their current business management solution to include an integrated, enterprise-class, electronic CRM/VRM system. With Sage PFW, they now have complete business and customer relations management; seamless, real-time data interface; enhanced sales and service capabilities; and a 25 percent increase in sales, without staff increase.

NuGEN Technologies, Inc.
NuGEN outgrew QuickBooks during its start-up phase, and needed robust process flow software to support new biotechnical manufacturing operations. Sage PFW is saving them at least one PhD-level headcount in manufacturing, plus additional headcount in accounting, and supporting exponential corporate growth.

Par-Way Tryson
Par-Way Tryson wanted to upgrade their manual systems to an automated solution with complete integration of manufacturing and financial applications, and room for expansion. With Sage PFW, they now have integration of manufacturing and financial applications; 40 percent increase in production; and accurate inventory with reduced frequency of cycle counts.

Premier Ink Systems, Inc.
Premier Ink Systems’ existing accounting and inventory systems were unable to support the addition of new product lines; and inventory data was unreliable, resulting in considerable time and effort to validate material availability. With Sage PFW, the G/L processing time is cut in half; payables and receiving clerks each save an hour a day; and overall efficiencies improved “110 percent.”

Prism Powder Coatings Ltd.
DOS-based manufacturing software was slow and cumbersome for Prism Powder Coatings, resulting in delays in production decisions, waste, and higher inventory costs. Now with Sage PFW, Prism has shaved two days’ work off of monthly closing tasks and overall efficiencies improved by 20 percent.

Santa Catalina Island Company
Santa Catalina Island Company was relying on spreadsheets to manage its large and complex corporate budget; changes to the budgets were time consuming and prone to errors. Santa Catalina Island Company has cut two full months off its budget cycle with Sage PFW. Adjustments to the budgets are easy to incorporate and department heads can securely access and view their own budgets.

Shaw's Southern Belle Frozen Foods, Inc. Shaw’s needed to replace its old, inadequate system with an advanced, fully integrated, user-friendly manufacturing and financial solution. With Sage PFW, Shaw’s has streamlined integration from A to Z; detailed product analysis; cut losses in mixes; recaptured costs; and ten-minute product costing.

Sierra Corporation
Sierra’s financial system was incompatible with its manufacturing system and could not calculate income or losses on individual products. With Sage PFW, Sierra now has precise, flexible formula management; automatic formula updates to MSDS; improved batch consistency; instant data access; and cut order processing time by 50 percent.

Trans-Ocean Products, Inc.
Trans-Ocean Products wanted to find an end-to-end system to handle all aspects of food processing and business management tools. A sophisticated, seamless system, Sage PFW is managing everything from recipe formulation to Web-based sales reports, contributing to tighter production controls, streamlined order entry processes, and enhanced profitability.

Welco Manufacturing Company
Welco Manufacturing was unable to achieve desired growth using index cards and spreadsheets to control financials and manufacturing data. They needed extra staff to handle manual paperwork. With Sage PFW, Welco has had a 10 percent growth without the need for additional staff.
