"Our customers can now expect a wider product line and better service," he said.

"When we abruptly broke away from the other company and its mainframe system, we built our own makeshift computer system to get our operations underway," explained Alan Sheinberg, president of Alliance Thread.

"We were really operating in the dark ages," continued Sheinberg.
...
During the evaluation process, we found out that one of our valued customers was also using CompuData and spoke very highly of them and the solutions they offer," said Sheinberg.

"In a very short period of time, we went from having handwritten inventory to a completely automated system with a very smooth transition," explained Sheinberg.

MAS 200 is an excellent product that has provided us with a much better record-keeping system," said Sheinberg.

The reporting aspect of MAS 200 allows Alliance Thread to easily produce income statements and profit and loss statements at any given moment and can quickly generate a customer back order report - something that was never possible to do before but is a key aspect to managing any type of distribution business."We were hard-pressed to get any of these types of reports before we installed MAS 200," added Sheinberg.

Seamless IntegrationWith the tight integration between the various MAS 200 modules, the new system saves time and reduces errors by automating and integrating processes, such as purchasing with payables.Before, with the manual process, mistakes were often made and the distributor's business was run (less efficiently).MAS 200 provides Alliance Thread with improved workflow, enhanced data integrity, reliability and the ability for the system to grow with its business.

"It was a Godsend, really," said Sheinberg.

"CompuData came in and advised us like we were starting a new business but with a $14 million operation already in place," said Sheinberg.
