DMSi’s Agility Strongly Supports SRS Acquisition Corporation’s Growth
Omaha, NE – “An ERP system is the heartbeat of a company. If it isn’t beating, then there’s a problem,” according to Sonya Wells, SRS Acquisition Corporation’s VP of Information Services. “We rely on Agility to help our roofing distribution divisions run successfully.” DMSi Software earned the trust and confidence of SRS by providing them solid platform for highly profitable growth. With one of its divisions a DMS+ customer since 1993, the established relationship between SRS executives and DMSi drove them to upgrade all its branches to Agility.
Covering a total of 23 locations and over 100 users, Agility allows each SRS branch to access data in
real-time, increasing efficiency and saving keystrokes. Additionally, with sales and inventory information available at their fingertips with BInformed, Agility’s business intelligence tool, branch managers can quickly make operational decisions specific to their location to increase profitability.
“DMSi is an expert in the roofing distribution industry and offers a product with the scalability to grow with us,” explains Wells. “With its SaaS (Software as a Service) option, which only requires an internet connection, we can get new branches up and running on Agility in a fraction of the time of a typical network conversion.” Without a local server, SRS enjoys top-tier technology, security, and disaster recovery. Agility SaaS provides SRS with immediate software upgrades, backups, and maintenance, freeing resources to focus on core business initiatives.
With an aggressive timeline in bringing new branches live, it is imperative to keep Agility implementation disruption at a minimum. Using DMSi Software’s best practices when tackling installations helps SRS know what to expect. “Now that we’ve completed several implementations, we can easily navigate each go live with minimal assistance from DMSi. I’ve been in this industry for 20 years and DMSi has the most impressive conversion process I’ve seen,” adds Wells. The straightforward process alleviates the challenge of transferring branches with pre-existing software systems to Agility.
“Agility is easy to use and reduces the time it takes to service our customers,” concludes Wells. “We couldn’t ask for more.”
