Filing paper forever, gaining more customer face time.

Jerry Beades Concrete (JBC), a construction firm based in Dublin, Ireland, delivers highly technical flooring solutions to businesses and private customers. As part of its own 30-year tradition of pursuing innovation and quality, JBC is striving to become a close-to-paperless operation.

Looking to abandon its paper-based forms, spreadsheets, filing cabinets and costly paper purchases, JBC found EazyBusiness to be the appropriate replacement – and then some – for the company’s traditional customer management practices. It wouldn’t simply be about becoming paperless; JBC had to be sure the solution would accommodate its processes, which are unique to the flooring industry.

The company is enjoying important benefits as a result of its shift to the EazyBusiness platform.

• Ease of use by the technology consultants JBC employed to help with the transition to business applications like CRM and ERP
• Rapid customization of the sales application, including the creation of custom CRM and Jasper reports that generate automatic documentation
• Effective transfer of knowledge internally to staff, enabling them to ramp up quickly and ultimately, spend more time with customers and on other more mission critical activities
• A dramatic reduction in paper consumption
• More information about daily operations, enabling better decision making

Leaving servers behind.

Irish company Shaw Scientific is at the forefront in providing teaching resources and equipment to schools throughout Ireland. In 2009, with a number of servers to maintain and facing the purchase of new equipment, 40-year-old Shaw had to make a decision: continue the practice of buying servers and applications along with all the maintenance of both, or move the technology of its operation “into the cloud,” where best-of-breed applications are accessible without the hassle and expense of servers.

Shaw chose the latter and selected EazyBusiness as its vendor. Conor Shaw reports several benefits since his company installed the EazyBusiness suite.

• A single sign-on access for every employee from any location
• CRM, website content management, retailing and email in one interface
• A precise view of order status and customer history
• A 70 percent reduction in IT costs

“I would estimate that moving to EazyBusiness has reduced our IT costs by 70%. In addition we have increased productivity and now have a much better view of where our organization is at any moment in time” – Conor Shaw, Director Shaw Scientific
