Sage 100 ERP—the Only Answer for Yamada America
Yamada America, a U.S. subsidiary of a Japanese heavy industrial pump manufacturer, was experiencing rapid growth, with an annual increase of 25-30 percent for three consecutive years. To manage this growth, the company decided to switch from Sage 100 ERP for DOS to a Windows-based system in 1998. However, the new software promised by a salesman turned out to be a disaster. The installation process took over four months and disrupted all aspects of the company's operations, including accounts payable, advanced consolidation, general ledger, and inventory. Even after the installation, the system problems persisted, with hardware breaking down and computer screens freezing multiple times a day. The situation was so bad that two employees quit due to the excessive overtime caused by the computer problems.

Albert Lee Appliance Plugs Into Sales Tax Reform With Sage 100 ERP Sales Tax
Albert Lee Appliance, a family-owned appliance dealer with four locations around Seattle, faced a significant challenge when Washington state adopted the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax initiative in 2008.

What used to entail a small handful of manual tax calculations suddenly turned into potentially hundreds. The company realized its sales tax work was going to get a lot more complicated. The company's average transaction is about $2,000, which means the state audits them regularly. In fact, they see them so often that they’re on a first-name basis with a couple of the auditors.

Newrent “Keeps on Trucking” With ARM and Sage 100 ERP
Newrent had been using a proprietary non-Windows® billing system that required duplicate data entry and plenty of manual support. The system couldn’t distinguish between inventory; the team had to hike through the 8-acre parking lot to figure out which trailers were for rent or for sale. Answering customer inquiries quickly and accurately was quite a challenge. As Newrent grew, its system began experiencing glitches with alarming frequency. It simply couldn’t handle the increase in rental volume. Staff members eventually lost confidence in it. Its utility was now little more than an adding and accounting machine. The firm couldn’t afford to continue this way any longer, so Fitzhenry began searching for a new automated package.

Kasco Greases Wheels of Sales Force With Sage 100 ERP
Kasco, a distributor of BG Products, wanted to automate its sales force, which was 20 strong. When salesmen visit customers, nine times out of ten they have the required products in their van.

For ten years the company had been happy using Sage 50—U.S. Edition as its business software. But it needed an application that would integrate with the Route Management System (RMS) on its salesmen’s hand-held computers. Other BG distributors used an interface between Sage 100 ERP* and the RMS designed by Quality Data Products, a Sage licensed developer.
