Sage MAS 500 ERP chosen over Microsoft Dynamics GP

Maryland-based Navtrak, Inc. which provides comprehensive tracking and monitoring of fleet vehicles and mobile workforce employees announced Tuesday, 21 March, 2006 that it was implementing Sage MAS 500. With the Sage MAS 500 implementation, Navtrak is optimistic that it will double in size in both customer volume and total number of vehicles tracked by its database, without having to increase inventory levels or staffing.

"Sage MAS 500 blew Great Plains [Dynamics GP] out of the water," said Sheryl Auld, controller of Navtrak, Inc. "Sage MAS 500 was superior at integrating with our administrative database and CRM and was very easy to use. I’d worked with Great Plains [Dynamics GP] at a previous job and knew it very well. But once I saw Sage MAS 500, I told the Microsoft representative that they didn’t need to come back."

"Because Sage MAS 500 integrates with our CRM software, we only have to enter data once," continued Auld. "This has cut data entry time by at least 50 percent, or the equivalent of several fulltime employees who can be used in other areas of the company. We use Sage MAS 500 to provide historic data for all purchases, as well as real-time inventory. This is invaluable information for running our business smarter."

Jim Portner, vice president and general manager for Sage MAS products had this to say about the new partnership; "Navtrak fits into a growing trend we’ve seen where companies do light manufacturing, distribution and services in order to bolster revenues and differentiate themselves," said Jim Portner, vice president and general manager for Sage MAS products. "This evolution aligns perfectly with our Sage MAS product line, which delivers depth and breadth across core accounting functions, manufacturing, distribution and service capabilities."
