Alchemex, a local vendor of business intelligence software, recently signed a third-party distribution agreement with Softline Accpac to distribute its "Alchemex for Accpac ERP" reporting solution via the local ACCPAC channel.
"We believe that Alchemex is a great cost-effective and flexible alternative for many of the medium-sized companies that do not have the budget to implement other high-end business intelligence solutions," says Jeremy Waterman, Managing Director of Softline Accpac.
In this day and age, decision-makers in all companies must have instant access to relevant information to remain competitive. It is also a massive advantage to have this sort of information available in a familiar environment like Microsoft Excel. Alchemex`s offering is totally flexible providing choice information formatted in Excel at the click of a button. Unlike other proprietary reporting solutions and Excel links, Alchemex delivers a suite of pre-formatted templates for select install bases like Accpac ERP to get you up and running immediately.
"Our philosophy is twofold," says Charles Teversham, Sales Director of Alchemex. "Firstly, to maximise the investment that our customers have already made in Accpac ERP and Excel. This means information delivery on everyone`s desktop in Excel, where the majority of people out there like to work. Secondly, customers want a measurable return on investment which is something that complicates most buying decisions today."
A good example of simple, but measurable return on investment is the recent implementation of Alchemex at Bidfreight Port Operations.
"Our expectations have been exceeded in the way Alchemex delivers critical business information from our Accpac ERP system. We have converted weeks of repetitive work every month into a few hours. Now that`s what I call a measurable return on investment." - Ravind Sukdeo Financial Director, Bidfreight Port Operations (Pty) Ltd (member of the BIDvest Group Limited)
Alchemex will launch its solution at the annual Softline Accpac Partnership conference starting on 9 February 2006. This will be followed up by a series of Accpac ERP user seminars in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg to showcase the offering to prospective end-users.
