Challenge	Superprem Industries, a wholesale distributor of household products, was facing operational and financial reporting inefficiencies due to its outdated Sage software. The company was running four unconnected Sage databases across its four locations in Canada, leading to inaccurate inventory counts and difficulties in tracking invoices. The accounting team had to constantly enter data from outlying offices into a master file, spending two to three days a month on this task. The lack of connectivity also made it difficult for sales to access inventory or customer information, leading to inefficiencies and communication issues. The company needed a robust, cloud-based financial system that could provide better insight into operations and support its expansion into new territories. Read More
