Recognizing You’ve Outgrown Your Accounting Software
When Georgia based commercial glass experts, AJ Glass noticed their outdated accounting software was slowing down their growth they reached out to ETHOSystems.
Outgrowing Spreadsheets and Local Servers
“We were positioned for growth, but everything was being done on spreadsheets and we were accessing Sage 50 on a local server. If the office Internet went down, we couldn’t get on; if the power went down, we couldn’t get on; if more than one of us tried to run a GL, the system crashed. We were doing all our billings in Excel and PDF. We knew we had come to the end of the road with Sage 50 if we wanted to scale and grow the business,” explains Kate Panks, Accountant for AJ Glass.
Outgrowing Spreadsheets and Local Servers
The team at AJ Glass strives to provide uncompromising attention to detail and a steadfast pursuit of excellence that is reflected in the quality, service, and success of every project. They needed a financial and account management solution that provides the same level of detail and service while handling the complexities of construction accounting. With the help of ETHOSystems, AJ Glass decided that Sage Intacct was the right software to meet their needs now and in the future.
“The first time we ran the ERP and watched our data come over from Procore. That’s when we realized that we no longer had to double enter data. That was awesome. All of a sudden, a bunch of hours got freed up in my day to work on other things. We can just hit the button, pass it through and finish it off and we’re good to go,” says Panks.
Finding the Right Fit with Sage Intacct
By listening to the team at AJ Glass, ETHOSystems learned what made AJ Glass unique and was able to integrate a system that could better serve their specific needs while providing the processes to make a difference in their day-to-day operations.
“We were originally talking to another reseller, but they were high pressure, trying to get us to sign-sign-sign. I knew as soon as I spoke to ETHOSystems, we were going to work with them. They were transparent about setting expectations on what the system would or wouldn’t be able to do for us. When we asked for a client reference, they had one right away. ETHOSystems took the time to understand what we needed. It made a lot of difference to us to have a company come in that valued the relationship over meeting their sales quota for the month.
