WareX Sales Inc. Streamlines Operations with Aquilon ERP

WareX Sales Inc., located in Burnaby, BC, is a reputed dealer of new and used warehouse and storage products, predominantly serving the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Challenge

Robert, the General Manager of WareX, shared their earlier struggles with an outdated version of Sage 50. It failed to offer them real-time insights into their costs and margins – a crucial aspect, especially in this era marked by rampant inflation.

Outcomes

Aquilon Software swiftly transformed WareX’s predicament. “The Aquilon team transitioned our files seamlessly, enabling us to operationalize the new system within a mere fortnight,” says Robert.

The newly adopted ERP system brought a wealth of features that bolstered WareX’s operations. Some notable functionalities include:

Product Imaging: With WareX’s business model revolving around both new and used products, visuals became crucial. They can now attach images to product codes, which enables efficient communication with potential customers, allowing them to understand the product’s quality and appearance instantly.

Landed Costing System: A significant portion of WareX’s inventory is imported. The new ERP system accurately captures the true cost of these products, accounting for various overheads and ensuring the pricing reflects the actual investment.

Margin Reporting: Accurate and real-time margin reporting is crucial, especially when inflation poses challenges. Aquilon’s price analysis tool sorts product margins, making it easy to identify areas that require immediate attention.

Dynamic Pricing: With changing cost structures, businesses need the agility to adjust prices without cumbersome manual efforts. The system streamlines this with rule-based pricing adjustments.

Conclusion

WareX Sales Inc. has successfully revamped its operations, achieving better control over costs, margins, and overall business processes, thanks to Aquilon ERP. Their success story underscores the importance of leveraging modern technology in business to navigate challenges effectively.
