Ease of access to the data from the back end, they have a 3rd party .net app, inventory they do their own work orders. They have multi location inventory, in QB they cant see min, max at each site. They are trying to do better of the way they do costing. They install graphics, equipment. QB doesn’t allow them to keep costing when they assign labor costs to it. Accessibility for the third party, being sql based or on premise with a robust API would be ideal. With QB they always have to go through some sort of conversion. Their system is called snapshot, it does a batch push to make the invoice go into the accounting system. They will leave the record of the inventory inside of the accounting platform. Currently its manual when they get parts out so they have a real time of what’s on the shelf, that is where they want the system to interact behind the scenes. They started looking at Microsoft Dynamics as they use 365 for productivity software, business central they looked at but they didn’t find the interface intuitive. Looking at Sage X3, it looked more user friendly. Hardware requirements for X3? They do maintain a dedicated sql box now. Timing: they are ready to move, their next module is the tie in with service software, they tabled it because they were happy how it interfaced with QB so it all came to a head. They are pausing on all other so they are ready to move, part of that is they want to convert all data from QB. They are still evaluating others now, wants a demo, the VP of Finance they want to set up a demo. They want to go and play with the software, they were able to do this with Dynamics. Their VP of finance wants to review report functionality, office Mngr. wants to look at AP, AR, another person wants to look at the inventory. Perhaps X3 is more functionality than what they need, if there is a different sage solution that can do multi site inventory they are certainly open to that too. If there is demo site access perhaps they could have 2 options they could select 2 partners. When they were looking at Microsoft they were dealing with a partner that sold Sage Intacct so they want to rule them out-they talked to a sister company that is using Sage 500. Greenwood Emergency Vehicles in MD, they have a parent co. now so they may have a different name now. 2 years ago they were still on Sage 500. Is there any type of cost structure they can talk through or is that with the partners. Bills of materials they need to make sure it can do that. They don’t really do manufacturing, but it falls into that realm, more of kitting. Wants job costing tutorial.
