Snowdon Limited Case Study

How Attaché benefits the business:
From the client: We have found Attaché Pro to be a software package meeting our manufacturing needs specifically in product costing, raw materials ordering, customer order entry & invoicing and accounting.
The system has the capacity and flexibility we require. It is also well supported through good product stability, and further product training as required.
Attaché Pro suits our medium sized manufacturing, distribution and exporting business. It is commended to users as a feasible accounting, manufacturing costing, and warehouse control software package for your consideration. It is a system which allows us to extract the data and information we need to analyse and grow our business.
From ASCH: The company uses the Attaché Alex service to email packing slips to their warehouse in Christchurch. This saves the previously laborious task for the office person to create, manually print, and then fax each order. Now it’s simply a matter of finalising each order and Attaché takes care of the rest; be it a physically printed document, or emailed straight from the computer to the person that needs to receive it.
The BoM (Bill of Materials) system is used for product costing, production planning, and assist with stock control of raw products being manufactured into finished goods, and finished goods moved to the relevant warehouse location.
The PO (purchase order) system enables authorised staff to place orders with suppliers for product, which in turn enables others to see at a glance what has been ordered, received, yet to be delivered, and relevant delivery dates. In simple terms a single point everyone to see what’s happening.
The OE (Order Entry/Invoicing) system allows a user to place an order from a customer and easily determine what product is available at each location, if the product is not available, when the product will be available (based on production planning from the BoM system) and much more.
The GL (General Ledger Level) system assists the head office financial team to report to the board of directors of the Cynotech Group on a monthly basis.
