Gearing up for golf is a must in SA, especially if you are a woman. Local business, Zootee, which offers a full range of versatile, fashionably fun and quality golf wear and accessories for women golfers of all ages recently implemented Softline Accpac's Simply Accounting Pro.
According to Kevin Buitendag of Bdot4 Solutions, a Certified Simply Accounting Solution Provider, Zootee required business software that would take care of both the operational and accounting requirements of the business.
"Zootee required business software that would deal with all areas of the business including general ledger, cash book, debtors, creditors, sales and purchase orders and cash flow. Bill of Materials was also an essential requirement to manage and control the vast amount of raw materials and inventory.
"Simply Accounting is a fully integrated solution, which, once correctly implemented, improves efficiencies, that affect the most important aspect of business - the bottom line," says Buitdendag.
"With the increasing demand for ladies golfing gear boosted by SA hosting the Women's World Cup of Golf for the next three consecutive years, Zootee needed a system that could match its growing needs. We saw ACCPAC Simply Accounting Pro as the perfect tool to assist us in improving overall financial control, specifically regarding cash flow management, customer and supplier data, purchase trends and history, inventory control and valuation," says Elena Commarmond, Zootee owner.
According to Softline Accpac's Ann Cumming, ACCPAC's Simply Accounting Pro was specifically designed for fast moving businesses like Zootee and is easy to use yet powerful enough to keep up with all accounting needs: "With features such as multi-currency, departmental accounting, time and billing, powerful multi-user functionality and enhanced inventory control, Simply Accounting Pro provides business owners with all the necessary information to make strategic business decisions."
Assisted by Bdot4 Solutions, Commarmond says it took a minimal amount of time to get Simply Accounting Pro set up and operational. By following the easy to use, simple steps, Commarmond was able to prepare bi-monthly VAT reports and financial year-end accounts: "Using Simply Accounting Pro I am able convert any Simply Accounting reports to MSExcel allowing me to integrate and transfer data easily," says Commarmond.
At only R2 350 including VAT for Simply Accounting PRO and an additional R1 500 for a day training course, the start-up cost was minimal. "By attending the Simply Accounting Pro beginners' course hosted by Softline Accpac, I was able to utilise Simply Accounting Pro to its fullest capacity," says Commarmond.
With overall improved efficiencies Commarmond is ecstatic with Simply Accounting Pro: "I feel that I now have more control of my business than ever before. I have a much better sense of where I stand financially and am able to easily draw reports on all aspects of my business, which enables me to make appropriate business decisions," says Commarmond.
