Software upgrade allows lawn care franchise to flourish

The UK’s leading lawn care company is expecting to see business flourish after upgrading its accounting software.

GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service, a north-east Wales-based franchise company that looks after more than 200 branches across the UK, has upgraded its Sage Line 50 software to Sage 200, supplied by Birmingham-based leading business solutions provider CPiO.

David Griffiths, Managing Director at GreenThumb, said: “We process 500,000 transactions a year but the Line 50 software couldn’t handle this amount of data, often causing files to corrupt and become lost within the system. Sage 200 not only holds our current data with ease but also has the capability to store even more as we look to grow the business throughout the UK and even abroad.”

Carol Edwards, Finance Manager at GreenThumb, said: “We currently use the financial, commercial and business intelligence sections of Sage 200. CPiO has provided excellent support to ensure that the transition between the two packages was as seamless as possible. The software is sophisticated but user friendly and we would recommend it to other users who need to store a lot of customer information.”

Steven Kuhn, Sage 200 Consultant from CPiO, said “A flexible, integrated solution for growing businesses, Sage 200 brings together financial management, customer relationship management and business intelligence software all in one solution. Businesses can share data easily and tailor the software to its needs.”

Sage 200’s key features include:
– Concentric view of financial and commercial information
– Build or amend standard reports
– Access information in the office or on the move via mobile devices
– Marketing and sales management
Its business benefits include:
– Fully integrated business solution offering wide ranging functionality at competitive cost
– Work at maximum efficiency in every department
– Build the software that suits your business
