With aggressive growth came the need for a new business software system. According to Angie Chovan of Redbone Foods, “QuickBooks had worked fine when we were smaller. But as our transaction volume increased and inventory tracking requirements  became more complex, we quickly discovered that we needed software with better reporting flexibility and functional depth in the areas of purchasing, order entry and inventory control.” Redbone Foods turned to Karen Smart, of Smart eSolutions, the local Kansas office of the WAC Consulting Group - a nationwide business software solution provider.

   “We can’t speak highly enough of how professional, warm andfriendly the Smart
e-Solutions team is and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother transition"

 

Chris excitedly states, “Our new system is fantastic. Over the next few years, we are going to become a totally different company and I’m excited about it.” She adds, “Sage Pro has saved us so much time and we’ve eliminated duplicate data entry! I used to type quotes out manually in an email then later reenter that same data on an order. Now I’m able to efficiently provide formalized quotes from the system and easily transfer that data to a new sales order. This process alone is 60% faster!” Better reporting tools with Sage Pro ERP means better budgeting, better planning and no more guess work.

   "What ever it takes to get the job done!" - Linco Research

 

Smarte-Solutions has been working with Linco Research for about two years. We initially were attracted to her background in manufacturing and inventory accounting systems, an area where we were having significant problems. Our previous software provider had been of little help.

Karen Smart came on site and prepared a complete needs-analysis for our company, considering both our business model and internal practices in manufacturing and accounting. She analyzed our needs and presented an integrated solution to the departments at Linco.  In the fall of 2003, Karen performed this major accounting system upgrade for us. The software upgrade, and the process improvements that Karen identified, have resulted in increased inventory accuracy, reduced out of stock situations, and an overall increase in our manufacturing efficiency.

Karen has an excellent relationship with the staff at Linco, and she is held in very high regard for her knowledge of the system and her ongoing support. She trained our employees to use the new systems, and periodically provided additional training as their knowledge of the system increased. We have also had some unavoidable emergencies, and Karen’s attitude was “whatever it takes to get the job done”.

   "Professional, pleasant and insightful" - TradeNet Publishing

 

During the past four years, I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Smarte-Solutions as TradeNet Publishing's consultant for Sage Pro ERP software. Over the past four years Karen has provided timely, accurate and knowledgeable support. She has always been professional, pleasant and insightful when it came to problem solving. Karen completed a major upgrade for us from Great Plains accounting to the Sage Pro ERP.

 

Karen possessed the knowledge of business accounting procedures vital to the success of such a conversion. Karen was responsible for ensuring the complete database conversion and accuracy of the converted data. Karen also performed a complete project needs analysis and documentation for our new Sage Abra HRMS software implementation. Karen served as the project leader and implementor of this new HR software and was responsible for the installation, setup and training of our Human Resources department. Karen is industrious and dedicated to our organization whenever we call on her.
