Hartwell Manufacturing chooses LAKE SAP Business One solution to manage business growth

Hartwell Manufacturing has chosen SAP Business One from LAKE to streamline all aspects of their business, including order processing, inventory, manufacturing, and financial management. SAP Business One was chosen for its flexibility and suitability for a growing manufacturing business. SAP replaces a mix of SAGE 50, spreadsheets, and manual processes with one integrated ERP system to manage the whole business.

Andrew Hill, Head of Finance, explains their reasons for seeking a new business management solution:

"Hartwell Manufacturing is a third generation family business that has grown rapidly in recent years. The scope of the business has expanded in line with that growth. Where once we focussed on bespoke engineering, our product line now includes an extensive range of enclosure products.

"We have completely outgrown Sage 50; it simply cannot handle our volumes anymore. It's also unable to cope with changes in business processes. An example. When our work was make to order, purchasing was buy to order. Now that we manufacture products, we have purchase stock items for inventory. Inventory is then allocated to production orders."

SAP Business One was chosen from a shortlist of market leading alternatives. Reflecting on the reasons for their choice of SAP Business One and LAKE:

"We chose SAP Business One as it is more modern and flexible than the alternatives. LAKE were also an important factor in our choice. They listened. We got a good feeling from working with them. They seemed more on board with wanting to tailor the solution to our needs and were also willing to integrate the solution to our CAD system."
