Sanderson, the publicly owned UK provider of software solutions to the Delivered Wholesale and Cash & Carry industries, has won a contract to supply its system to delivered wholesaler, Preston Beer, to support their increasing product range and manage all wholesale operations. Established in 1998, Preston Beer supplies an extensive range of beers, spirits, soft drinks and quality wines to the foodservice industry including restaurants, cafes and pubs in the north of England. The Sanderson wholesale IT system, Swords, stood out in the marketplace as the best choice for the company. The system delivers vital management and stock information, helping Preston Beer to make effective replenishment decisions and maximise the use of warehouse space. Telesales teams are benefitting from instant visibility of stock levels and product information – enhancing service levels and avoiding missed sales opportunities.
