Molan UK Ltd
Market Sector: Polycarbonate Supplier
Year Started: 1997
People: 78
Working with us since: 1990
Molan are the UK market leader in the supply of polycarbonate sheets, primarily for the construction of conservatory roofs, and they use our advanced accounting software.
Wayne Lawson, MD of Molan said, "One of the reasons we use Benchmark's accounting software is that the Company has grown with it. When we started using Snip [Benchmark's entry level package] in 1990, we had 10 or 11 staff with a turnover of about £600K. We now employ around 70 staff, with a turnover of £7.5m. Benchmark has allowed us to grow and given us more functionality as we've needed it."
Wayne also likes Benchmark's flexibility, and our range of different, affordable add-ons. Benchmark has recently written a link between their CAD package and the SOP module for Molan, in order to produce an automated delivery note. They also believe that Benchmark's Sales Order Processing module is the best on the market. They find the Support service excellent, with friendly staff that they build up a relationship with.
Wayne said, "We would never have got Sage to show that level of flexibility and meet our needs". Wayne pointed out that they would never have stayed with Benchmark if the software had not been easy to use, which Wayne said "allows us to concentrate on the business" and also saves them money on training costs as it is so easy for new staff to learn.
