Plant Impact

Background

Plant Impact specialises in products to improve crop nutrition and crop health whilst giving growers increased marketable yields, consistent quality, and reduced environmental impact. 

Case Study

Plantimpact had to change its working practices from a research and development facility to a commercial company with increased sales volume. Management realised their current system could not support their growing business, they needed an integrated solution that could support both their accounts and stock management systems and in particular multiple stock locations and product traceability.

Management decided to invite three highly rated suppliers to tender to supply a new system that would support their business into the future. From this process they chose EDSL and Sage 200, based on the quality of their presentation, professionalism, systems knowledge and the confidence they gave the management of Plantimpact.

Says Paul Tansey of Plantimpact “EDSL impressed us with their confident sales pitch and they clearly had the experience to back it up”

Because Plantimpact had to continue running their existing system whilst installing Sage 200, they relied heavily on EDSL to manage the installation with minimum impact on their business.

Staff training was carried out on site which had to be scheduled to fit in with the existing workload of the staff at Plantimpact. EDSL had to provide a flexible service and go at the pace of the client. Paul Tansey says “EDSL were very supportive our priority was to ensure the business operated as normal whilst installing the new system and getting the staff trained. Their trainers understood this and worked at our pace and they were always at the end of a phone to answer any questions we had”.

Paul also says” EDSL came into Plantimpact and showed they understood our business and future requirements, they proceeded with the installation and training quickly when we needed them to, whilst slowing down in line with our requirements when we asked them to. All the EDSL staff were friendly, helpful, polite and above all very professional. They did everything they promised and more”.
