Challenge	Antenova, a multinational company that manufactures high-performing standard antennas and RF antenna modules, was previously operating with two separate systems: Sage50 for finance and Orderwise for purchase orders, sales, and warehouse management. This setup posed challenges as the two systems did not work together, leading to manual data input from one system to the other. Some reports also had to be constructed in MS Excel to get the desired information. As the company grew and the IoT market expanded, Antenova needed to keep pace by renewing its website and digital marketing tools. This led to the need for a cloud-based ERP system that would enable Antenova to grow efficiently to meet these challenges. Read More

Executives also had instant access to the company's current financial status, which was previously only available when data was transferred from one system to the other, a slow and error-prone manual process.
