Case Study - Tile Depot
Domeview who trade under the name of Tile Depot had been using Sage Line 100 for 3 years. They were not getting the most out of the software in fact they were still doing their monthly accounts outside of the system. Kinspeed were contacted with a brief to get the stock correct, control the warehouse movements and computerise the retail outlets. With the help of an experienced project team within Tile Depot a bespoke system based around Line 100 was written.
The system integrated seemlessly with Line 100 and with the tireless help of the Tile Depot project manager a shopfloor EPOS/ordering system was written and implemented resulting in shops selling goods and placing orders on the hub in a controlled and correct manner. The system is now extensively used and provides the following :
- Shops connected to the hub via VPN and broadband
- Fully bespoked EPOS facility for the tile industry
- Daily stock counts, 99% stock accuracy
- Real time stock availabilty between stores
- Salesmen taking orders in Shop over PDA's
- Full management accounting functionality
