	LWReid Case Study		Back to top
	As an Australian owned company that prides itself in over 83 years of providing quality apparel, each of our 7500 account holders nationwide know, we tribute our success to them. Which is why it was so paramount in choosing the right ERP system for our business solution. 26 years on and we are still amazed of the level of support, growth and success we have had with Online Advantage – both company and product. With 650,000 items in stock, the system has enabled us to manage our customers and improve our shipments to them in the fastest time possible. We are successfully able to generate on the spot reporting of sales analysis, inventory and stock forecasting along with dispatch and re-ordering – in a real-time fashion – no matter where our users are located. The system also enables us to plan for potential shortages of apparel for future deliveries and the impact that would have on delivering to our customers. Recently, we integrated Online Advantage’s E-Commerce module that allows us to focus on providing better service to our existing customers in addition to providing information to new customers or retail customers for on-line purchasing. As a result of this powerful module, it has taken our “E-Commerce” orders from 0 to 4,000 since obtaining it three years ago. Our website has also achieved healthy results coming back with 218,000 hits for the month of February 2006. We are thrilled with these stats. The on-going support with your project managers, consultants, and trainers is always friendly and commendable. Response time to programming needs, on-site training and support have also been outstanding. We are happy to offer ourselves as a reference to Online Advantage, for the level of support and the mutually successful business relationship which we have built & believe is a true testament to what a quality organisation you have in Online Advantage. Thanks to you and your staff for a great business management solution for LW Reid. Staff & Management, LW Reid
