Client Appreciation
Before partnering with Software at Work, our data was scattered across spreadsheets and disconnected systems, creating significant operational blind spots. The team at S@W didn’t just hand us ERPNext, they took the time to truly understand our unique workflow bottlenecks.
The results have been transformative. Since going live, we’ve seen a 60% reduction in administrative time previously spent on manual data entry and reconciliation. For the first time, we have a ‘single source of truth’ with 95%+ stock accuracy, allowing us to make decisions based on real-time data rather than guesswork.
Beyond the software, the strategic guidance received from the Software@Work team made the difference. They helped us standardise our SOPs and ensured our team was fully confident during the transition. We now have a scalable platform that grows with us, rather than a system that holds us back. Their expertise turned a complex implementation into a major win for our daily efficiency.
