Donald Cooke Ltd, a company renowned for its expertise in the manufacturing, packing, and distribution of Angling and Aquaculture, Pet and Animal Feed products, initially utilised Sage 50 to manage their sales and stock status. As the business grew, they transitioned to Sage 200, seeking a more robust solution for their expanding operations. Despite the upgrade, the team at Donald Cooke faced significant challenges in generating the financial reports that were crucial for their decision-making processes. The existing system required them to manually extract data from Sage and painstakingly represent it in Excel. This process was not only time-consuming but also diverted valuable staff resources towards repetitive manual reporting tasks.
In January 2023, Donald Cooke Ltd decided to take a transformative step to enhance their operational efficiency by partnering with us for the implementation of our cutting-edge Hydrogen Sales Pipeline Management Tool. Our tool was designed to seamlessly integrate with their existing Sage data, providing a streamlined and intuitive interface for managing sales information. With Hydrogen’s Sales Pipeline Management Tool, the staff at Donald Cooke could now leverage custom and bespoke Sales reports, tailored specifically to their unique business needs. This integration significantly reduced the time spent on manual report creation, thereby optimising workflow and freeing up staff to focus on more strategic tasks.
The impact of implementing Hydrogen’s Sales Pipeline Management Tool was immediate and profound. Staff members were now empowered to manage all Sales data with unprecedented ease and precision. The tool’s capability to raise one-off and multiple purchase orders through a single, simple click revolutionised their purchasing process, making it more efficient than ever before. The synergy between Donald Cooke’s industry knowledge and our technological solution has set a new standard for sales pipeline management within the organisation, paving the way for further workflow automation and operational excellence in the future.
“Hydrogen has saved us a lot of time with financial information, dramatically improved our workflow, and potentially, reduced the costs of licenses for the Sage system. I strongly believe this can help other companies who might face the same challenges as us. We are now planning to implement more workflow automation with Hydrogen in the future. The more automation, the better.” - S. Lewis-Dale, Head of Business Development
