Animal Supplies (Wholesale) Pty Ltd is a family owned and operated company initially conceived as a small equine supply store operating out of the home garage. The company is now one of Australia’s most successful animal products and medicine suppliers. Its 10,000 plus product lines encompass everything from dog food and pet beds to flea treatments and horse wormers.
In the early 2000s, Animal Supplies found that business expansion had created a need for more flexible reporting and greater analytical capabilities. After evaluating its options, the company decided to replace its financial software with the more comprehensive System 77 business software suite. The software was deployed and for the next five years all went well. However by 2009 it was obvious that Animal Supplies had pushed the aging System 77 as far as possible. The move to a new, larger warehouse highlighted the need for better inventory control and with support for System 77 due to be withdrawn in the near future, it was time to make a more permanent business software decision.
The company looked at a number of alternatives but in the end opted for a Microsoft Dynamics GP solution as recommended by Professional Advantage.
