About The Customer

The company uses Sage Pastel accounting system and a line-of-business (LOB) application to handle quotes, invoices, and production orders. However, it was facing challenges in synchronizing data between these two systems, leading to duplication problems and inaccuracies in financial data. The company sought a solution that would allow it to continue using Pastel while avoiding these issues.
The Challenge
Blind Designs, a leading manufacturer and distributor of window blinds for the southern African market, was facing a significant challenge in synchronizing its financial data. The company was using Sage Pastel accounting system and a line-of-business (LOB) application for handling quotes, invoices, and production orders. However, the company was struggling with data synchronization between these two systems. The issue was causing duplication problems and inaccuracies in the financial data, which was affecting the company's financial management. The company wanted to continue using Pastel but needed a solution to avoid these duplication problems with their custom in-house system.
