The Requirement
Although many companies will start out with pen and paper, Excel based systems or programs like Sage 50, Safety Buyer knew if the company was going to succeed in a highly competitive market the business would need a comprehensive business management system right from the start. Ian and his brother Kevin, the two directors of the company, both had extensive experience working in other businesses so they were well aware that they needed a system that was going to provide a solid foundation from which their new business venture could grow.
“We knew we needed something from day one – although we had no proof the business was going to work we realised there’s no point floundering in Excel spreadsheets and watching the business fall flat, so we knew we required a more substantial system from the word go.”
