The Challenges:

Prior to implementing Cin7 Core, Applications Engineering relied on Access Dimensions to manage its business operations. However, as the company expanded, it became evident that Access Dimensions was no longer fit for purpose. The company needed to streamline business processes, improve stock visibility, enhance SKU creation, and refine product assemblies. Additionally, seamless integration with Xero was essential to improve financial tracking and reporting.

Despite serving the business for years, Access Dimensions presented significant limitations. The system lacked the flexibility required to support evolving business needs, and employees were burdened with manual processes that could be automated, such as managing the bills of materials resource. Recognising the need for a robust ERP solution, Applications Engineering partnered with BlueHub to implement Cin7 Core.

The Solution:

BlueHub conducted an in-depth analysis of Applications Engineering’s processes to ensure Cin7 Core was the right fit. Understanding that business priorities fluctuate, BlueHub allowed the project to be paused at Applications Engineering’s request. This ensured resources were allocated efficiently, preventing rushed decisions and maximising the effectiveness of the implementation. Additionally, BlueHub visited Applications Engineering’s offices to work closely with the team. This hands-on approach helped build rapport, deepen the understanding of the company’s needs, and ensure Cin7 Core could support both current operations and future growth.

Results.

The successful implementation of Cin7 Core has yielded remarkable improvements for Applications Engineering. With enhanced business processes and improved stock visibility, the company achieved a 13.85% increase in turnover. The system seamlessly handled a 27.1% increase in sales orders and an 18.3% rise in purchase orders between July and December 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

By transitioning to Cin7 Core with BlueHub’s expertise, Applications Engineering has significantly improved its operational efficiency, stock management, and overall business performance. This successful implementation has not only streamlined current processes but also positioned the company for sustainable growth and future scalability.

“Partnering with BlueHub to implement Cin7 Core provided significant benefits, particularly in managing the daunting task of transitioning from a stock and finance management system we had relied on for 20 years.

The expertise of the BlueHub team was invaluable, guiding us from the initial identification of the most suitable product, Cin7 Core, through to going live. Their thorough approach included a step-by-step review of our operations and an on-site visit to understand how Cin7 Core could be effectively integrated with Xero, while also considering our future aspirations.

Throughout the project, the BlueHub team felt like an extension of our own, offering professional, knowledgeable, and friendly support. Special thanks go to James Ferguson and Sean Ives, who played crucial roles in easing our concerns and handling our data with expertise.

For our busy and resource-constrained small team at Applications Engineering, BlueHub’s guidance was instrumental in helping us “get over the line” and successfully go live.

We highly recommend partnering with BlueHub, as it is a worthwhile investment in both money and time, ensuring that major changes are made with the support of an experienced and dependable team.” – Cherie Stockil, Project Coordinator at Applications Engineering.
