TIMMS SUPPORTS NEWS CUSTOMERS INTO GROWTH PHASE

We know TIMMS software is being used across timber wholesalers, retailers, sawmillers and producers but it’s also making a name in other industries. We spoke with John Menagh recently (CEO of Disprax) and he told us about a large chemical wholesaler/importer that has been using TIMMS for over 10 years. And while the stock is different, the need to manage it along with purchases, sales and the General Ledger is just the same as any business.
 
The chemical business mentioned is ISM (International Sales and Marketing) and they supply chemical raw materials to manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand. John told us that they have a very quick stock turnover and manage multiple warehouse locations so they need their inventory data to be accurate, all the time. He explained, “While the business has been using TIMMS for a long time, they only recently started using TIMMS’ EDI (electronic data interchange) capabilities. They have transformed their outdated processes and setup an infrastructure that will support their growth going forward.”

We asked John what this meant for everyone working at ISM. “One small example is that instead of keeping track of product information that was kept in 3 different locations, they now have a single PDF document attached to the product master file. But a larger example is the way they are using eCommerce to control their warehousing logistics, which is quite unique and very effective.”

John went on to say that “It was an exciting project to be involved in as we got to work with them to determine which processes could be streamlined, and how TIMMS could support each part of their business growth plan. And the rest of the TIMMS customer base will benefit from every modification TIMMS had in the process.”

“ISM  are extremely aware of the strong links between sales, accounts and inventory and the management team are really happy with the cost savings they get every month with more efficient processing across the entire business.”

“What it tells us is that TIMMS is robust enough to meet many new challenges. I’m looking forward to the coming years and the changes we see as businesses develop.”
