Bloodstock agency chooses software to streamline finances and increase productivity
Wicklow – based bloodstock agency Peter J. Doyle Bloodstock Ltd., www.doyleracing.com has chosen Pegasus Opera II to streamline finances across their multi-faceted business.
Doyle Bloodstock works on a commission basis for clients at public auction, privately manages clients’ racehorses, offers advice, and arranges nominations (covering stallions) for clients’ mares. The company also offers insurance services, as well as arranging transport for clients’ horses. The bloodstock agency has a turnover of €2,700,000.
According to Director Anna Doyle, Pegasus Opera II gives the agency a better control of its finances, ultimately increasing productivity and efficiency. Doyle manages the business with her husband and son, her fellow directors.
Previous to the installation of Opera II, the business and financial procedures were managed manually, making ready access to financial information difficult for the agency’s management team, as Doyle explains.
“A new system was needed to improve access to reports, as well as increase the speed of invoicing and other statements. It was also important that the software package could handle more than one currency.”
Opera II’s reliability, matched with personal service, impressed Doyle Bloodstock’s directors. “Someone recommended Charles Alken, from Pegasus Software and we were very impressed with Charles. He spent a considerable time understanding the specific needs of our business and we felt confident that the solution he was offering was based on that understanding.”
