Challenge	QesTec, a provider of computer options such as upgrades for servers, workstations, personal computers, laptops, notebooks, and printers, was experiencing booming demand for its high-tech products. This led to a situation where the business was doubling every year, and the company’s computer system simply couldn’t keep up with it. Inventory was turning at least 25 times a year. The time had come to replace standalone PCs with a robust network, including software that would provide manufacturing and inventory management systems plus wider access to customer information.

Solution	QesTec implemented a full-featured networked computer system on Windows® NT, and selected Sage 100 ERP as its accounting solution. Deciding factors included the ability of Sage 100 ERP to maximize benefits of client/server technology such as performance and reliability. Also, it offered real-time inventory analysis with multiple user stations. And as an added bonus, transitioning records from Sage 50 to Sage 100 ERP would be easy.

It transformed the company’s data input process, eliminating the need for massive amounts of paperwork and double entries. Read More Log in to view content
