Testifying to Greentree’s greatness

Greentree’s partners (or Rare Gems, as we call them) are unashamed cheerleaders who drive us hard to deliver the best business solutions.

However, David Sankey, CEO of our partner Addax Business Solutions, swears he was unpaid (and sober!) when he wrote this recent endorsement of Greentree on our company blog.

We were so impressed by David’s sincerity and passion, that we decided to share his thoughts with a wider audience. As an expression of the commitment that underlines our driving philosophy, We3, it’s a diamond.

David writes:

“A couple of events in the last week have given me reason to reflect on how I am sometimes so focused on addressing the challenges associated with providing smart but simple solutions, that I forget to look at the bigger picture and how truly broad Greentree’s functionality is.”

Event 1: Previewing another product

“A few days ago I was given a brief demonstration of Pronto, and while I know Pronto is a strong competitor to Greentree, I was underwhelmed with its lack of general usability compared to Greentree. It made me realise how I take for granted functionality such as Approvals & Alerts, the ability to drill down from anywhere (even print previews and Excel!), Workflow, FREE, etc.”

Event 2: Special demands, standard functions

“Yesterday I spent many hours preparing for a demonstration that included showing distribution processes from Quotes through to Sales Orders, Picking and Packing, to Invoicing. The prospect also required strong serial number functionality, kitsets, warranties, etc.

They also needed strong job management across a huge range of jobs from small jobs of a few hundred dollars lasting a couple hours, to large jobs of several hundred thousand dollars that lasted many months.

To ensure we were fully tested, the prospect also required Payroll, HR, OH&S, and Asset Management. Of course FREE, A&A, and Workflow played a significant part in the processes demonstrated. ALL of this was possible, even easy, using STANDARD Greentree functionality... and the preparation and demonstration went without a hitch.

“It made me realise just how fortunate I am, as a vendor, to be demonstrating such a strong product. Greentree is a truly great ERP system.”
