An Early Christmas at Classic Exhibits: Word on the Street -- August 5th thru August 9th

Word on the Street by Kevin Carty

It’s not often I get excited about things “Accounting Related.” After all, I am a sales-minded guy for the most part.

But late last week, this weekend, and Monday, Classic Exhibits is installing UPDATED Accounting, Project Management, Purchasing, and Inventory Control software. And it’s really cool.

We are upgrading to Sage’s new CRM and ERP Accpac software. It will be installed completely by Monday morning. Our Project Managers, Accounting staff, Purchasing team, and yours truly will be going through training Monday. We will be available should you need anything from us. The training is in segments, so it’s manageable.

Some highlights of the new software package:

  • More streamlined order entry
  • More robust inventory management
  • Better integrated purchasing components
  • Fully integrated contact management, designed to interface with Outlook and Apple Mail
  • By far the most “slice and dice” reporting functions I have ever seen

Just to name a few . . .

What does this all mean to you? Maybe not very much since we have designed many of the forms to look exactly the same. Even we recognize that too much change can upset the apple cart. We will have a better and more immediate historical trail for all orders and quotes which will allow us to process requests more efficiently and accurately than ever before.

So, if you experience any delays, please be a little patient as we weave our way through this new world next week. We don’t expect any, since Accpac is software we already “know.” Even though the software will not be “live” until Tuesday morning, we are still processing all orders without any delays.

Great thanks to Beth Senter, Accounting Manager at Classic Exhibits, for all her dedication and hard work getting this program in place and designed to fit our internal needs and your service expectations. Great job Beth!

Hope you all have a great weekend.
