Taking advantage of Intelex’s secure and centralized Web-Based Platform, MN Pets configured the system to match their unique business processes and requirements. With some assistance from the Intelex team, the project moved from conception to implementation in two months. Legacy data was imported from Excel, and the intuitive design of the system kept the training time to a minimum which allowed the new system to be embraced quickly. MN Pets calls their solution “The Buddy System” in honor of their mascot, a beagle/hound mix named Buddy. Read More Log in to view content
