ABC Compounding, Inc., a specialty chemical manufacturer of industrial cleaning supplies, was facing challenges with its existing ERP software, ProcessPro. The software had become undersized and lacked key functionality needed to meet the company’s growing demands.

Case Study
Kasco Greases Wheels of Sales Force With Sage 100 ERP
Kasco, a distributor of BG Products, wanted to automate its sales force, which was 20 strong. When salesmen visit customers, nine times out of ten they have the required products in their van. It makes sense, therefore, to deliver an invoice at the point of sale—to avoid duplicate data entry at the head office and speed up the revenue stream. For ten years the company had been happy using Sage 50—U.S. Edition as its business software. But it needed an application that would integrate with the Route Management System (RMS) on its salesmen’s hand-held computers. Other BG distributors used an interface between Sage 100 ERP* and the RMS designed by Quality Data Products, a Sage licensed developer.

Sage 100 ERP—the Only Answer for Yamada America
