Which software for your business?
Accounting systems have moved on over the last decade. They are no longer just a computerised accounting tool; they are complete business management systems incorporating many aspects of business control and administration.
But with so many software systems all claiming superior functional and technological attributes, selecting the most appropriate software for your company can be a confusing and time consuming exercise.
Independent Advice
At Sense we are independent specialists in business accounting and administration software. In each of the last 14 years we have spent over 2000 hours (250 working days) evaluating and comparing market leading business management software. Experience and expertise that could save your business valuable time and money.
Choose an Industry Standard Solution
In past years many buyers have had bad experiences by selecting small lesser known software houses for their business system. Often these suppliers with bespoke industry specific systems can hold a client to ransom over their support and service due to the lack of choice for alternatives.
Sense decided to specialise in proven products manufactured by the established industry leaders. That is why we have aligned ourselves with Sage, Datafile, SAP and Microsoft Business Solutions.
Our impartiality means that we represent the interests of our clients first and foremost, not the software house. We are able to help you assess both your short and long term requirements and measure these against our portfolio of products. This initial consultation and systems analysis is absolutely free and without obligation.
Software Categories
For ease of understanding we have bracketed our chosen product range into 3 main categories: Entry Level, Modular and Enterprise. These are further explained below:
Entry Level Systems
If you are a small company with a turnover up to £500k or a “start-up” business then you are probably looking for an integrated package, backed up by a reputable software house at an affordable price. Without doubt Sage Line 50 ticks all of the boxes in this category.
Modular Systems
As a medium sized business you are probably a second or third generation system buyer and because your business processes have become more intricate and the turnover has grown - you will be seeking more from your business software.
Modular software packages are scalable and offer increased performance, security, functionality and flexibility over the fixed off-the-shelf Systems.
Sense specialise in two of the most flexible and functional systems in this category: Datafile Premier for Windows and SAP Business One. Both systems have their respective strengths and weaknesses –our independent experts will help you evaluate these against your needs and ensure you make the best commercial decision.
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP)
As a larger company (usually over £10 million turnover) you will demand software capable of processing high volumes of data. You may also require your business software to handle advanced manufacturing, warehousing and distribution requirements. It is also likely that the business operates over multiple locations in the U.K. and perhaps overseas. This means your business system will need to operate over a wide area network (WAN) and may need to cope with multiple currencies in multiple languages.
If your business falls into this bracket then you will need to look seriously at Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software in order to meet your demands.
In 1999 we formed Sense Enterprise Solutions to specialise in the supply of ERP solutions and we are now the UKs leading supplier of Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly called Axapta).
