“OrderWise has brought us on leaps and bounds really as a sales force. Simple things like knowing exactly what stock quantities you have got on the shelves, the true margins that you are making and the overall ease of just putting an order onto the system. We have become a lot more proactive as a company and as a sales force too. 5-6 people used to enter orders and quotes all day long, we have now trimmed that down to one person entering orders, allowing the other guys free on the phone to take enquiries”

“I honestly don’t know how we’d manage our batch traceability without OrderWise. Any other system would just leave too much margin for error but our pick notes tells us to pick that particular product, of that batch, with that expiry date. So the warehouse staff can be 99.9% certain once they’ve picked it that the right batch has gone out”

“It’s definitely helped with the management of batch and expiry dated products. Now when we bring our products in, we push them through OrderWise so we can accurately record the batch numbers and best before dates. That way the system will always pick the product with the shortest shelf life, which obviously helps us with our stock rotation”

“The biggest change is everything is now live, so we can see orders that are getting picked and we can see our manufacturing process on a computerised basis, so it’s basically brought everything into one hub. We were a paper heavy organisation before but now with OrderWise’s handheld technology, all of that paper trail disappears and the guys are using those handhelds to go and pick the orders. These devices are telling them how many we need, the stock location of the goods and also, as our jam comes off the end of the manufacturing line, staff are using the scanners to then book the finished items into stock. It’s just 100% slicker”

“It works really well, we can keep on top of making stuff and the revisions are really useful for seeing exactly what has gone into each liquid. The estimated costs for everything works nicely and the transaction history shows all the batches that have come in and where exactly they have been used. So, for the amount we manufacture it does make things easier, we can see works in progress and then a history of exactly what we’ve manufactured each day.”

“As our business has grown and grown, we’ve needed to become more efficient. OrderWise has played an integral role in helping us keep our supply chain systems streamlined, from the factory shelf to the customer’s door”
