Case Study: Core Products streamlines e-commerce and distribution with Dataflow

Core Products places Dataflow at the centre of their e-Commerce and Distribution business

Core Products, a leading UK supplier of flat-packed furniture, shelving and storage products, had outgrown its legacy DOS-based accounting package. Manual data import and export made sales accounting slow and cumbersome, and the company needed a more flexible Windows-based system that could support its distribution, e-commerce and stock management needs. Dataflow’s financial management software was chosen because it already understood Core Products’ business and could be adapted to fit their workflows.

Dataflow implemented customised modules for EDI, e-commerce, sales ledger and real-time stock management, integrating order processing, credit control, promotional pricing, warehouse operations and logistics. The solution helped automate workflows across three company accounts and multiple warehouses, speeding up access to management information and improving pick-and-pack and stock control efficiency. Core Products said the value-added components of Dataflow more than paid for themselves, and the e-commerce solution was described as “phenomenal.”
