SAP Business One Streamlines Operations and Enhances Customer Service
Winnipeg, MB – August 31, 2012 – Zantek Information Technology Inc., a full-service IT company, today announced the successful implementation of SAP® Business One at Passion Beauty Supply Ltd., a leading distributor of hair and beauty products to salons and stylists across Western Canada. SAP Business One is a business management application designed to integrate core functions and provide powerful reporting and analysis capabilities.
“We’re now able to shift our focus from time-consuming administrative tasks to customer-focused initiatives,” says Tony Cerullo, General Manager, Passion Beauty Supply. He added, “We were spending hours every week trying to reconcile numbers from separate accounting and inventory applications, and manually entering data in spreadsheets. Now everything is entered once and we can instantly access real-time information from one source.”
Zantek follows a disciplined process to fully understand clients’ needs and help them to achieve their business goals. Ron Mondor, President, Zantek said, “Passion Beauty Supply is poised for rapid growth so we focused on three key areas – facilitate agile decision making through access to reliable data; streamline operations for maximum efficiency; and give them a scalable, long-term solution.
SAP Business One integrates all core business functions, including financials, sales, customer relationship management, inventory, and operations. In a study of challenges faced by businesses attempting profitable growth, Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), a global market research and consulting firm, concluded that there are very few single-product solutions created with the needs of small businesses in mind. The whitepaper states: Because SAP Business One is a single application, it doesn’t require separate installations and integration of multiple modules, thus making it is less costly for small businesses to deploy and maintain.
