Almost 60,000 products available online
Laboratory and process technology, services and solutions provider Carl Stuart Limited has chosen Pegasus Opera II to automate sales and purchase order processing, streamlining the creation of orders and invoices through batch processing.
Founded in 1984, Carl Stuart Limited operates from its head office in Dublin, and also has offices in Surrey and Belfast. The company currently has almost 60,000 product lines from its laboratory range available online at www.labunlimited.com.
“We have extensive stockholding facilities and offer rapid delivery on all items in stock, using recognised logistics suppliers. Our in-house systems are designed to minimise paperwork and efficiently process all orders in the minimum time frame,” says Michael Anderson, Operations Director at Carl Stuart Limited.
“We chose to enhance our implementation of Opera II because it offered the opportunity to automate a significant proportion of effort that up until now needed to be delivered manually. Automation has also removed much complexity in our system reducing the scope for error.”
As well as increasing the speed of order processing, the objective of the implementation was also to reduce the cost of processing each sales order, having closer integration of sales and purchase order (ensuring orders are progressed in sequence) and enhancing the reporting structure.
“The system allows us to have a clear picture of all orders within the system: from order book control, order status and allocated stock. Now having the ability to interrogate this data within Excel (via The Pegasus XRL API) the project has transformed our order processing systems giving control and confidence to everyone in our admin team,” adds Anderson.
He also highlights Carl Stuart’s strong relationship with Pegasus. “We have a long history with Pegasus, a very strong relationship based on trust. Pegasus Ireland knows and understands our business and respects the demands we place on their software. The support from the Pegasus team in Ireland is second to none, their ability to listen to and understand our needs has proved invaluable in identifying the specifications that delivered our requirements.”
