ERP implementation in Gas Meridional

Company Profile

Gas Meridional SA was established in 2004 by a group of experienced investors and professionals with a common goal of offering an efficient and profitable way of marketing, and distribution of natural gas and its related services in Argentina. Today, the company is positioned among the leaders in the industry thanks to its ability to create customised solutions for clients of various sizes in a timely manner and provide flexible payment terms for the products and services provided.

Situation


Gas Meridional was not using any business software when they started looking for an integrated ERP solution that would run natively on a Mac and provide them with full control of accounting, purchase and sales transactions while being fully compliant with the tax authority’s requirements. The overall flexibility that Enterprise provided a positive impact during the decision making process.

Choosing HansaWorld


”We chose Enterprise because it was the only product in Argentina that ran on Macs,” said Santiago Matías, Administrative and Financial Manager at Gas Meridional S.A.



”I recommend Enterprise to any business looking for a fully integrated solution that is truly easy to use. Its speed and versatility are remarkable”



Solution details


Gas Meridional began the implementation with setting up the Enterprise Base Engine with 5 companies during August of 2005. Several import routines were developed for the company’s specific tasks such as creating receipts from the information received from the local banks and creating sales invoices from text files exported by a specific software used by the natural gas producers. The implementation phase went smooth and was finished within a month’s time as projected and on budget.

Following the successful implementation, Gas Meridional went on using their new system.Being impressed with the ease of use and seamless integration of all freshly streamlined processes, Gas Meridional employees fully embraced the new system.

”One of the main benefits of our new system is that everything can be done with a single click of a mouse. You drill down to accounts, open the original transactions and see that everything is seamlessly integrated. That is the kind of interaction everyone expects and that is exactly what Enterprise delivers,” praised Santiago Matías. He continued, “Another very important fact is that every time we update Enterprise, all of our customisations are carried over without any problems. They continue working as they did in the previous version of the software” he further added.”

Future


As Gas Meridional SA continues to grow, they are looking to include more additional companies in the near future. They plan to start using Enterprise E-invoicing for sending invoices to the Tax Authorities’ server.
