The Challenges
Since the 1970’s, Al-Baha Trading & Cont.
Co grew with the use of an old accounting &
stock control system was developed locally at
Saudi Arabia DOS-based.
The main problem for Al-Baha Trading & Cont. Co
was handling and organizing thousands of items &
hundreds of customers. Also they have another
problem in calculating the actual cost and
pricing policy. They have another problem in
promotional prices calculations.
Al-Amri & Co
recommended ACCPAC Advantage. We deal with Al-Baha
Trading & Cont. Co on January 2002 and we
started the implementation on April 2002 at the
head office in Dammam.
We implemented ACCPAC financial for the
accounting department after fully business
requirement review. We implemented the inventory
control module to manage and to handle the stock
transferring, stock assembling, & stock costing.
Al-Baha Trading & Cont. Co has complicated
transferring procedure so we implemented Item
transfer option to handle the transferring
processes between the locations.
We Implemented ACCPAC sales order Entry Module
to handle & manage the sales orders at show
rooms & their services centers. & We are going
to implement the
ACCPAC
epos for their showroom because they have big
number of daily transactions.
Al-Baha
Trading & Cont. has complicated
purchasing procedure for that reason we
implemented ACCPAC purchase orders module to
manage their vendors, additional cost, &
purchasing cycle.
Al-Baha
Trading & Cont. Co show rooms are
linked using VPN lines and the are using ADSL
lines for the critical locations like the
warehouses. They have one file server at the
head office & the sales persons can access
ACCPAC database by the predefined permissions.
The second phase in our plan with Al-Baha
Trading & Cont. Co is to implement eTransact
service to host their goods. We finalized the
implementation at Al-Baha Trading & Cont. Co
within 4 weeks and after that we followed them
during the data entry and year-end closing
process.
