Case Study: Pickard Hardware achieves increased profitability and streamlined operations with OGL Computer

OGL services help raise profitability in building hardware distributor

Pickard Hardware, a Keighley-based distributor of door and window hardware operating 14 vans with around 15 employees, was held back by a very dated software package and fragmented IT support. To modernise its accounting, stock control and CRM and enable better remote working, Pickard Hardware partnered with OGL Computer and adopted OGL’s profitPlus solution alongside cloud-based Office 365, hosted services and onsite hardware support.

OGL Computer implemented profitPlus with a barcode and computer system, provided hosting, customised reporting, automated backups and Office 365, and took over hardware support. The result was far better visibility of sales, purchases, stock and customer behaviour, improved speed and accuracy of picking and despatch, stronger security and backups, and increased profitability — all backed by a single point of contact for software, hardware and cloud issues.
