Ormandy select the Enterprise to support business growth Water heater manufacturer is using Enterprise to enable integrated financial accounting and job costing

Start-up organisation, Ormandy Ltd, a commercial manufacturer of industrial water heaters, has placed an order valued in the region of £15,000 with software reseller, Mac Accessory Centre, for Enterprise - a fully integrated suite of financial accounting, job costing and business management software from HansaWorld.

Launched in February 2001, Ormandy supplies water heaters to schools, hotels, hospitals, medical centres and leisure centres. It will use Enterprise operating on a Windows platform to provide a flexible, scaleable financial management infrastructure at the core of its business that will support the company as it continues to expand its operations.

In addition to the core financial accounting modules, Ormandy will also be using the job costing functionality of Hansa. This will enable the collection and monitoring of details such as materials usage and overall costings for each bespoke solution that Ormandy provides, and subsequent analysis of the profitability of contracts against estimates.

Paul Cooper, Managing Director of Ormandy, comments, "We looked at a number of business management systems but Hansa was unrivalled in terms of flexibility, scaleability and ease of use. The broad functionality within the core product is very impressive, which combined with its low cost of ownership, made it the obvious choice of software for our business."

He continues, "Although Hansa is one of the newer players in the UK software market, the product is an internationally proven business management software solution and its user base in the UK continues to expand. The level of investment that HansaWorld is making in new technologies and product development confirmed to us that we were dealing with an ambitious company that is looking to increase its market share. This gave us confidence in their abilities to support our long-term business objectives."

Hansa uses a single underlying database and application language that enables Ormandy to take advantage of truly integrated financials and job costing modules, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of real-time information. In addition, the functionality of Hansa offers email, CRM, e-commerce built-in ERP and logistics capabilities that will enable Ormandy to extend the benefits of the product as it continues to expand its business activities.
