Company Background
Interviewing a 13 year CCS Enterprise user is delightful and resulted in a lot more pleasant experience. Before CCS Enterprise was introduced, I&K used many different
pieces of software for business management. Problems like duplicate entry and missing links happened so often that reporting was a very time consuming process. Management
were concerned about the accuracy of the information. Mr. Takuji Yokotani and his team of staff decided on CCS Enterprise in 1991. I&K's decision saved thousands of hours
since then.
Situations were improved tremendously right after CCS Enterprise had been implemented. CCS Enterprise's process flow streamlined I&K's inventory and invoicing operation.
Each department carried out their function, and yet stayed informed. Data were centralised and reliable.
As the major business transactions are in multi-currencies, CCS Enterprise's dual currency report not only delivers a clean GST report, it gives management a concise report of
cash flow, profitability and clear gain/loss in exchange for every order.
After preparing the sales order and invoice, delivery orders are automatically generated to the warehouse for dispatching. The inventory operation is on-line and provides sales
team the most up-to-date stock status.

"With its comprehensive debtors/sale detail summary report,
it enables the management team to analyse payment, credit term
and sales performance. This information is up-to-date, we just
print report before we go for our company meeting."
