Zoedale Strengthens Inventory Management With Vision33

Established in 1976 in Bedfordshire, UK, Zoedale distributes pipes and valves to control the flow of liquids and gases. Zoedale offers over 20,000 stock items and their clients range from at-home gardeners to multinational oil and gas companies. Brewing and beer metering, food production, and medical device companies rely on Zoedale for next day delivery and value-added services like installation, service, and maintenance.

As Zoedale’s inventory and client list grew, their software couldn’t go with the flow. Data from the company’s two old, disconnected systems – one for accounting and one for customer relationship management – needed to be merged at the end of every day, which ate up valuable time. This tedious process also involved printing numerous documents, which was unacceptable to a company involved in environmentally sustainable projects.

Zoedale needed technology to manage inventory, provide visibility into its warehouse, and make finding critical information fast and easy so it could continue providing superior customer service. Finding the right technology required a true partner, which Zoedale found in Vision33.

Like Zoedale, Vision33 is all about customer service, innovation, and thinking outside the box. Vision33 worked closely with Zoedale to implement SAP Business One, a robust ERP solution. With SAP Business One, Zoedale’s operations flow better than ever. Everyone in the company uses the system to easily find information they need, and the real-time data can be accessed anywhere, anytime for fast, smart business decisions. With purchasing and sales now tied to accounting, Zoedale’s transactions are more efficient, and cash flow is obvious.

Zoedale uses SAP Business One’s powerful reporting tools to see gross profit margin, number of orders, and the average value of orders. Because of SAP Business One’s simplicity and flexibility, adding new product lines and managing inventory are effortless for Zoedale.

Intermex Foods Improves Business Operations With Vision33

Intermex Foods is a wholesaler in San Diego, California - a subsidiary of PAGASA, a leading provider of pastas and cookies in Mexicali, Baja California. PAGASA has been in business for over 50 years and their products can be found in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.


The company has grown by double digits and was ready to take their business to the next level. Using manual business management tools including a combination of Quickbooks, Excel spreadsheets and binders made it harder to manage data and stay on top of daily operations as orders increased.


As Intermex Foods continued to grow, tracking profitability became a bigger challenge. Without a system in place to track key performance indicators and customer buying patterns, the staff did not have access to the business intelligence needed to expand with confidence. It became abundantly clear that Intermex Foods had outgrown their systems.


Intermex Foods decided on Vision33 to implement SAP Business One Cloud. “SAP Business One was the only solution that covered all of our requirements,” says Rafael Benavides, Project Manager at Intermex Foods. After implementing a single, enterprise resource planning (ERP) cloud-based solution, Intermex Foods put away the binders and began to realize the value of having all their business information in one, centralized location. Reports that used to take them months to compile are now available to them in a matter of minutes with data they can trust.


This comprehensive solution helped dramatically streamline operations to a point where the company experienced 34% in savings immediately upon implementation. By choosing to implement SAP Business One Cloud, the staff can access company data anytime, anywhere.

Chelford Farm Supplies Boosts Earnings With Vision33

Established in 1975, Chelford Farm Supplies provides equestrian clothing and footwear, farm supplies and feed, garden and forest machinery and shooting equipment, clothing and ammunition throughout the United Kingdom.


In addition to a brick and mortar outlet, Chelford also operates a successful online store. To keep up with the latest equestrian brands and farming products meant cycling through stock three times a year. However, by time the inventory grew to over 24,000 products the company needed a business tool to increase their capacity for managing more inventory without increasing the number of employees.


Chelford knew it needed a new business management application and spent time carefully evaluating many applications on the market. Say Sarah Kranz, finance director, Chelford Farm Supplies. “SAP Business One comes with a fantastic reputation; it really does what it says on the box. After seeing a software demonstration, we were impressed by its flexibility and ability to integrate with our retail and online business”.


Vision33’s dedicated support team mapped out the company’s requirements; integration points with its web store, MRP requirements and identifying manual processes that could be automated. The implementation took just a few months and after the go-live, the results were immediate. With full purchase ordering through receiving and invoicing the company has identified thousands of pounds in discrepancies. But for Chelford the biggest benefit was in the amount of time saved. “We can now spend more time on value-added tasks instead of things like manual data input”, explains Kranz. “If we were doing a payment run for our suppliers it used to take the whole day. Now with SAP Business One that same process takes half an hour”.
