Chetwynd Petroleums adds ERP software integration with automated sales, inventory control with financial management tools

Chetwynd Petroleums Ltd., a high-volume fuels distribution business operating in remote northern British Columbia, needed reliable integrated business management financial tools fast. It isn’t uncommon for the company to process 300-400 fuel sales a day or more – amounting to over 10,000 transactions a month for their on-account customers.

Yet the company was running accounting and billing on proprietary software from a local supplier that was about to go out of business.

The fuel distributor’s customers typically roll in to tank up from all corners of The District of Chetwynd, set in the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Rich in oil, gas, coal and timber, it is the natural transportation hub of the mighty Peace River Country.

Fortunately, Chetwynd Petroleums found that rare mix of the right tools, set-up, training and support for managing their finances. Within three […]

With a growing number of manufacturers, machine shops, tool and die makers, and contractors in the Delaware Valley around Philadelphia requiring metal parts, business is good for Metal Stock, a small quantity metal supplier in the area.

Most metal vendors and distributors in the region have responded to rising demand by consolidating their service centers and catering mostly to those buying large volumes. As a result, they have left the many who require smaller volumes by the wayside, facing longer delivery times and fewer choices.

In contrast, Metal Stock has kept its faith with the smaller buyer who doesn’t want much but still needs fast, efficient service and a wide selection. Consequently, its business has boomed — so much so, that in 2004 president Ken Bell ended his company’s 10-year relationship with a franchiser and set the metal supplier on an independent course from which it has never looked back.
