    The problem

    Vimto is part of the Nichols PLC group. The challenge for them was to coordinate all the aspects of their business from manufacturing to distribution, customers to employees and to keep all the different processes aligned.

    "We were using Sage Line 500 throughout the group of companies to administer the backend processes. We’d also developed our own CRM system," Group IT manager Allan Doyle explains.

    "So when Sage 1000 v2.3 came out with its integrated CRM, it seemed the perfect fit for us."

    They needed a system that’s flexible enough to be able to allow them to change their processes and procedures. "Sage allows us to do this."

    How Sage 1000 helped

    Bringing all the functions together and integrating with existing software and processes means Nichols PLC now have one view of their business both across the UK and worldwide.

    Allan explains the new solution is at the heart of their computer systems.

    "We’ve since developed our own internal workflow systems such as expenses, holiday systems and purchase order requisition systems that all our users use for their processes and these are interfaced into Sage.

    "It makes it very efficient, there’s no human intervention and it’s very accurate.

    "Success for us was having a low maintenance efficient system and Sage 1000 has given us this."

    The company continues to grow, with new products and new flavours expanding their range. As Allan explains, "The Sage 1000 system is going to have a lot more processing to do in the future. But I’m confident it’s more than up to the task."

    "We have the full suite of Sage modules. We're using manufacturing, finance, purchase order processing, sales order processing."

  • Blenheim Palace

    Woodstock, Oxfordshire

    Tourism and commercial Sage ERP 1000

    The problem

    Blenheim Palace has to manage a diverse range of businesses that produce the income needed to maintain the Palace and its surrounding 2,000 acres of parkland.

    Despite Blenheim Palace and Park being one of the first World Heritage Sites designated in the UK, it is the only one that does not attract any form of public or Heritage Lottery Fund funding, this is due to it effectively being in private ownership.

    With property management, construction and farming as well as a visitor attraction, the company deals with 8 different VAT registrations, CIS construction industry regulations and payroll compliance for its 100 permanent and 250 seasonal staff.

    Their challenge is to control all their financial information with a small financial team and make sure they comply with a multitude of regulations.

    How Sage ERP 1000 helped

    Sage ERP 1000 underpins all the activity of Blenheim Palace.

    "We only have five people in the financial department providing all the information in a timely and accurate manner", says Head of Finance, Frank Warn.

    "The reason we can do this is because Sage ERP 1000 is a comprehensive system and provides the control that we need."

    Sage Business Partner, Datel, provided Blenheim Palace with a web entry system that helps them keep track of the number of hours that their seasonal staff work.

    Information entered at the palace is picked up over the web by the estate office. The time and resource saving means they've been able to reduce the number of staff in the financial department.

    "We have been using Sage for 10 years. What we like is the ability to add on different systems to provide more efficiency and ease of control to get information in and out."
