Washtech Cleans Up with Sage MAS 90

As a distributor of vehicle wash systems, equipment and products, Washtech really cleans up! Representing the leading equipment manufacturers in the industry, their system replaces the use of brushes and excessive water. Utilizing pressurized water and solutions, this system provides superior cleaning that is environmentally safe. Washtech also supplies operators/owners with the proper car care solutions required for clean, shiny vehicles and prompt service. In the touch free car wash environment, their proven expertise ensures their clients’ success.

Washtech appreciated the ease of use of Sage BusinessWorks but began encountering limitations as their customer base expanded. As the company grew, they faced an enormous volume of invoices and complicated inventory requirements. They desired a robust invoicing system, strong inventory controls and reporting capabilities. The increased complexity of their business demanded more functionality.

It became all too apparent that Washtech had maxed out their current accounting system. They had quickly outstripped the capabilities of BusinessWorks and were in need of local, reliable support with whom they could depend on long into the future. To manage the company’s phenomenal growth, John Gianakos, Controller turned to Sage MAS 90 and Atlantic Software Alliance.

Sage MAS 90 delivered the components necessary to manage Washtech’s finances, Accounting, invoicing and reporting. All of the modules are designed to work together seamlessly. The General Ledger module provided them with the ability to compile and publish income statements on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis; or for any date range they may choose. They now have quick access to historical data and concise reports outlining critical data. Sage MAS 90 stores information for up to nine years. The Accounts Payable module maintains complete vendor information and flexibility with manual and automatic invoice selection. This module saves time for Washtech by distributing invoices to multiple accounts or departments and by defining recurring invoices that post automatically.

It also provides them with full bank reconciliation that supports multiple transaction types, including deposits, charges, credit, withdrawals and transfers.

Inventory control is paramount for any distributor. The Inventory Management module gave Washtech full inventory tracking capability, vendor transaction history, on-hand parts and on-order quantities. Combined with the Purchase Order modules, Washtech has quick and easy access to vital information. In addition to keeping track of receipts, issues and adjustments; it maintains concise details for parts, serial numbers and locations.

The inventory information and delivery statistics proved to be more efficient for them too. Because all of the modules function in a similar manner with seamless integration, the system was easy to learn for Gianakos and his staff.

Gianakos has no shortage of specific reasons for being a fan of Sage MAS 90 and Atlantic Software Alliance. Along with the ability to grow with the company, MAS 90 has the features they need, in an integrated package that combines the core modules Payroll, Inventory Management, Purchase Order and Sales Order. Atlantic Software Alliance provides Washtech with the reliable support they require to run a growing company.

By purchasing the standard unlimited phone support plan, Atlantic Software Alliance gives them free consultations with their hardware and networking vendors, trouble shooting and resolution of error messages, answers for basic “How to” questions, program fixes and free attendance to users group and enhancement meetings.

Gianakos is emphatic about the Payroll module, “It flawlessly produces my checks regularly. Don’t let anyone tell you there’s a more important module.” The Payroll module features powerful payroll management capabilities. While making in-house payroll preparation easy, this module enhances the entire process so that it takes only a fraction of the time and expense previously spent. The Payroll module applies earnings and deductions and automatically calculates payroll taxes. Additionally, this module prints checks that include year-to-date earnings and complete tax information. You can also track vacation and sick time plus other benefit accruals through the Payroll module.

When asked what Gianakos has enjoyed most about working with Atlantic Software Alliance, he replied “The absolutely fantastic people - all of them - the finest, nicest folks I ever have had the fortune of working with. I love Atlantic Software Alliance - a great group.” Washtech, Sage MAS 90 and Atlantic Software Alliance; a winning combination.
