|
Leading motorcycle equipment distributor to drive business efficiency and optimum customer service with OneOffice.
October 2005 - Strategix, a European software house dedicated to the development and rapid deployment of supply chain software, today announced that Moto Direct have contracted with Strategix for a 30 user OneOffice system to integrate its finance, operations, event management and sales order processing into a single streamlined software solution As one of the UK's leading distributors for high quality brands of motorcycle clothing and safety-wear (leathers, gloves, helmets, visors, sunglasses), together with specialist motorcycle oils. Based near Mansfield, the company employs some 30 staff, including a team of 10 field-based sales people. To ensure that the whole organisation is fully connected in its drive to deliver optimum customer service all staff, both office and field based, will have direct access to OneOffice. With long lead times from Asia on the one hand and impatient bikers demanding the latest styles at the counters of Moto's retailer customers on the other, Debbie Bullock, Managing Director at Moto Direct, needed a top quality order management solution in order to keep the peace. Moto Direct are taking full advantage of the 'OneOffice in Distribution' implementation model offered by Strategix to ensure that they go live during January 2006. Moto Direct then plan to move to new purpose built premises right by Jn 28 of the M1 in March 2006. The new location will provide new warehousing facilities which will be fully equipped to enable the deployment of the full OneOffice RF warehousing capability. In parallel Moto Direct will also commission Strategix to deliver a seamless integration with their distribution carrier's system which will further streamline warehouse dispatch. Moto Direct also plan to introduce a full e-commerce capability during 2006 using OneOffice.Prior to selecting Strategix OneOffice, Moto Direct carried out a detail appraisal of other software products including Microsoft Great Plains from reseller Trinity, Microsoft Axapta from reseller XKO, and a specialist apparel software package. The selection process proved that OneOffice not only addressed Moto Direct's many complex functional requirements, but also fired their imagination through the use of dashboards, alerts and workflow. |
