Retailer goes for growth with Azzure IT

31st October 2016

A leading UK ecommerce retailer which designs and distributes unique kitchenware products has invested in the latest technology to manage its fast growing business.

Award-winning Andrew James, which sells over 750 niche kitchen and home products to customers across the globe, approached Sheffield business software expert Azzure IT to provide a solution to help meet the demands of a growing and increasingly complex organisation. Specialists in Microsoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Azzure IT has been commissioned to provide and manage the new software for Andrew James, to ensure a single, integrated system to cope with the demands of a diverse clientele, growing business and a continually expanding product range. Neil Warren, systems manager at Andrew James said: -Andrew James now sells to customers worldwide, and has recently expanded to two new locations in the UK. -We were previously using ad-hoc IT systems. -It became increasingly apparent that we needed an updated, integrated system that could improve visibility of customer demand requirements and to increase overall efficiency. -We were impressed by both the Microsoft Dynamics NAV and CRM system proposed and Azzure IT's understanding of our business and their enthusiasm and support. -We're confident that choosing a Microsoft product means our system is futureproofed due to ongoing investment and improvements from Microsoft. -The software is very user friendly and intuitive which means the wholesale change we are implementing will be easy for our team to get to grips with. -We hope investing in the latest technology will mean further growth, efficiency and success for the company. Craig Such, managing director at Azzure IT said: -Microsoft Dynamics NAV has exactly the range of functionality that businesses like Andrew James need. -The system can manage everything from warehouse and manufacturing organisations to costing and supply chain. It makes everything much simpler and more efficient and reduces the chance of human error. -Andrew James can now be confident that it has the right system to support its future growth and development plans.
