Wholesaler ICCONS Accesses Big Data with Phocas

ICCONS is an Australasian wholesaler providing a range of construction supplies including fastening systems, power tools and accessories.

According to ICCONS Managing Director Phil Rose, ICCONS selected Phocas to give the business a quick and simple way to manage sales and inventory data. “We use Phocas to measure our sales activity, our margin performance and our product group performance. These metrics are what’s really important to us. We want to get our stock moving and Phocas gives us a clear view into our business."

ICCONS National Sales Support Manager, Theo Hatzis, needed to access business data quickly and easily. Using Phocas allows him to get the data he needs efficiently, particularly through mobile. “We brought in Phocas and reporting has been instant. The ability to use Phocas on your mobile phone has been great. It makes things much easier to track.”

Both agree it’s the simplicity of using Phocas that makes it useful to many in the ICCONS organization. This simplicity also extended to the implementation process. Said Rose, “Phocas is low cost, very fast, very effective and has a painless integration. We haven’t had to spend more on capital equipment. Often when you introduce reporting systems, you need additional support and HR to drive it. That’s not the case with Phocas.”
