Spearhead, a member of the USKO Group, has been appointed a solution partner for the Ability suite of business management solutions from JSE-listed Ixchange.
Spearhead director, Christian Bowker, says: "Anyone in todays sales and distribution environment is fully aware of the global changes that are enveloping the industry. Amid a continual onslaught of technological and competitive pressures in today`s global marketplace, supply chain decision-makers are being driven to re-examine the way they do business - it`s not just a matter of superiority, but survival. "
"Spearhead has been highly successful in the ERP and systems implementation and support business since 1992. We have a track record at helping enterprises implement solutions to deal with an increasingly competitive environment, both locally and internationally.
"We have recognised Ability as a world-class business management system. Ability allows companies that have recognised the business benefits of an effective management solution realise these benefits. The Ability suite fills this niche by providing all the functionality a mid-range business needs at a price-point they can afford.
"Ixchange is a progressive company with proven solutions that are a good fit for the mid-range company. The fact that Ability is developed locally, with additional development requirements and support from the source readily available, makes it a winner among our customers who feel more secure knowing they have a world-class solution developer around the corner. The Ixchange brand carries weight in South Africa." Spearhead has already created an Ability consulting division within the company and has staffed the division with local specialists, all of whom bring extensive business and systems implementation experience to projects.
