AWA Bathrooms Implements Solarsoft Dashboard

AWA Bathrooms Limited has gone live with Dashboard technology from Solarsoft

AWA Bathrooms Limited, one of the leading distributors of bathroom products, has gone live with Dashboard technology from Solarsoft to provide the organisation with more accurate and timely management information.

Basingstoke, UK - 15th February - By implementing Solarsoft Dashboards, AWA Bathrooms is now able to analyse key performance data at will. The new graphic software will provide fresh insights into the business, equipping managers to make better decisions faster.

The AWA Bathrooms group of companies distributes bathroom products from depots in Biggleswade and North London and employs 135 people. The company recognised that its management reporting was taking too long to complete and did not provide the clear and comprehensive overview of profits and costs that the business required.

Fred Colborne, Financial Director at AWA Bathrooms, comments, "The previous system we were using had a traditional report writer that was limited in its capabilities and was extremely time consuming. Since implementing the Dashboard technology from Solarsoft we can access data far more quickly than before and the reports are always up-to-date. With just few mouse clicks, Dashboards let us analyse past transactions, inspect current activities and make "what-if" forecasts about where the business is heading. Using this information we can target sales and marketing campaigns to help improve turnover and we can see which product lines contribute most to growth and profitability."

Colborne continues, "The Solarsoft solution has transformed the way we perform our day to day activities. The ability to drill into a report on screen means that we are always confident that the information is accurate and can be tied back to our ERP system. What's more, it has saved the company vast amounts of time spent creating and maintaining dozens of reports, many of which were rarely used. Previously the IT Manager would have to write, test and deploy every single report. Each report could take an hour or more to prepare. With Dashboards it is all done at the click of a button."

Colborne concludes, "We have an excellent working relationship with Solarsoft and we were extremely impressed with the training that was provided.  The implementation of Dashboards was very straight-forward and since going live with the software we have seen a significant increase in productivity which will lead to tangible time and cost savings across the business in months to come."
