Sage, the market leader in cloud business management solutions shared at Sage Enterprise Management Partner Summit in Seville, a new customer and partner story. Celebrating their collaboration, the audience learned how Sage business partner SynergERP, supported AutoTrader.co.za to transform its business from paper based to a digital organisation. Helping them to make significant cost and productivity savings with Sage Business Cloud.

After a competitive procurement process, AutoTrader.co.za selected SynergERP to implement Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management as a platform across their business, and to help them manage back office to customer facing functions across financials, sales and contract delivery.

Sage Enterprise Management helps businesses deliver a more commercially efficient operation with better finance, procurement and business intelligence capability. Giving greater access and control over information to deliver better more informed reporting - significant for AutoTrader.co.za who handle a high volume of transactions and have under gone a business transformation, moving from a weekly print publication to entirely online.

In addition, as a weekly print publication AutoTrader.co.za had to report back to the business regularly, with no easy way of pulling monthly reports. Sales administration was managed through a paper-based billing and invoicing system which was incredibly time consuming.

To help overcome this challenge, as well as implementing Sage Enterprise Management, SynergERP wrote a custom front- end web-based system to make it very easy for the sales team to create bespoke reports and move to electronic billing and invoicing, freeing up a great deal of sales administration time and thereby creating cost-efficiencies in the back-office function

Ashley Regenass CEO of SynergERP, said: Our expertise lies in understanding our clients problem, and solving that problem using Sage software through a lasting partnership that delivers value and grows with the clients business. Sage Enterprise Management functionality allows AutoTrader.co.za to maximise decision-making but minimise overhead costs, helping them to operate as efficiently as possible, while modernising and future-proofing its business.

George Mienie CEO of AutoTrader said: We knew we had to move from a paper-based contracts and billing system. We wanted the technology to be intuitive, easy to use and not cause unnecessary disruption to our business. In stepped Sage Enterprise Management and changed our world! Everything now is so much faster and were able to quickly pull revenue recognition which we werent able to before.

Jennifer Warawa, Executive Vice President of Partner and Alliances, Sage commented: This is an excellent example of how strong partnerships help to move a customers business forward. Sage and SynergERP have supported AutoTrader.co.za with their digital evolution and lived that journey with them. Warawa continues: We are committed to bringing tools and resources to our customers via our partners that help facilitate growth and enable organizations like AutoTrader.co.za to be more productive, as well as make more informed decisions through data-driven insights provided by Sage Enterprise Management.
