What we did:
When people say the word “gear” in the Pacific Northwest, they often mean rain gear or camping gear! At Linn Gear, a second generation, family owned gear manufacturer, the word “gear” means the mechanical gears and sprockets that they make. Linn Gear needed to replace an antiquated accounting solution that lacked the functionality and controls they needed, but they had just upgraded their distribution solution.
SYTE presented a solution and a software partner that would meet their requirements. After interviewing and confirming our selection, Linn Gear proceeded to implement the solution’s core accounting software and integrated it with their existing distribution solution. As a bonus, if or when their custom distribution solution runs its course, the accounting software they chose is part of a larger software ecosystem that will grow with them.
Challenges:
- Manually intensive accounting solution that lacked many control features.
- Lack of integration between accounting and distribution solution.
- Lack of manufacturing functionality.
- Payroll done by a single employee with no backup.
Results:
- Risk mitigated through implementation of accounting solution with proper controls.
- Improved transaction processing efficiency.
- Better utilization of internal resources (including the outsourcing of payroll).
What our client said...
“We engaged Syte CG to consult with us on a business software selection project. They exceeded my expectations in their detailed approach, knowledge of the field and speed of handling the process. They kept it going in a very timely manner and saw the project through to a successful completion. We were very satisfied with their work and are happy with the ultimate solutions they helped implement.”
