Total Sealing solutions distributor, Ceetak Ltd have been using HansaWorld ERP software solution for nearly 8 years now and, since implementation, the system has helped facilitate a more than doubling in size of Ceetak's the business.
Ceetak Ltd supplies and distributes sealing products sourced from various manufacturing facilities worldwide into a number of markets throughout the UK such as, food processing, chemical, hydraulics, pneumatics and automotive components industries.
HansaWorld, is more than an accounting system and combines Contact Management (CRM), email, task management, calendar, document and information management, job costing, logistics, accounting and more in one, fast, easy to use system that works across the internet using direct connection via TCP/IP without terminal emulation software.
The HansaWorld software suite is hosted at Ceetak's head office in Bedford operating over a Wide Area Network using TCP/IP that enables its Aberdeen office and remote users to log on to the live system. This facilitates far greater control of stock levels and streamlines financial accounting operations throughout the business, providing seamless integration between customer service and stock control.
Chris Challis, Operations Manager at Ceetak explains, "As a fully integrated financial accounting and stock management software suite, HansaWorld has a clear competitive advantage. We are very impressed with the speed, ease of use and flexibility of HansaWorld and there are no other software solutions available at this price category that can offer such a high level of automation within the core product offering. We are now able to eliminate traditional manual processes and streamline business administration, which enables staff to focus on other aspects of the business. In addition, the software has excellent reporting capabilities that enable a highly detailed level of analysis."
"After the initial implementation we continue to receive an excellent level of support from ABS Ltd who have been very professional and highly committed to our needs from the outset. ABS have continued to help us develop and grow by adding bespoke elements to the software giving us a fully integrated system with links to Microsoft reporting products. Recently we have added project costing to cater for a new side to our business and an integrated, fully functional credit control system that automates debt chasing"
"We have built a strong reputation in the seals industry by providing fast, competitive quotations to our customers. Using Hansa we are able to access key-critical information at any time, whilst the functionality of the product allows us to easily transfer information between different ledgers. We now have a highly automated process for producing and sending documents such as order quotations and acknowledgements, which significantly speeds up the entire customer ordering process, enabling our customer service team to get through a greater workload. We attach scanned copies of customer orders and all relevant documentation to the quotes and sales orders allowing fast access to all relevant information at the touch of a mouse button"
As there were so few financial solutions available on the Mac platform, we did consider installing PC systems to make our selection process easier, though such a change posed huge cost implications. However, Hansa presented us with the only viable alternative that complied with our preference to continue operating on a Mac network, at an extremely competitive price.
