The Challenge

Business Challenges.

Burns Pet Food had grown into a business that spanned the full pet-nutrition lifecycle, from farming and manufacturing through to distribution and hands-on nutritional advice. But each of those stages was being run on a different system, including Sage Line 50.

Operating across so many disconnected systems created real friction. Data was difficult to keep track of and, more importantly, difficult to trust. Compiling management reports was a time-consuming exercise in pulling figures together from separate sources, and end-of-year audits became an expensive undertaking as a result.

What Burns needed was a single, modern business management solution — one that could integrate every part of the operation, from nutritional advice through to the manufacture of its high-quality pet foods, in one place.

The Mysoft team have always been really friendly and clearly hard-working, as seen through all the days they were willing to come all the way to Wales to see us! It was due to the people at Mysoft that we committed to the contract with them.

at a gLANCE

One integrated Sage X3 platform to unify every stage of the Burns business.

Sage X3, delivered with support from Mysoft, brought Burns’ separate systems together into a single environment, replacing a patchwork of tools with one version of the truth across farming, manufacturing, distribution and nutritional advice.
What They Needed

Key Requirements.

Burns Pet Food required a business management solution capable of supporting a multi-stage operation under one roof.

Burns can now view all of its company data in one place. That single view allows the business to report on the company as a whole while also analysing individual operations across the business — giving Burns the insight it needs to expand more efficiently.

The Solution

Benefits of Sage X3 for Burns Pet Food.

A single system across the whole business

Sage X3, with support from Mysoft, streamlined the range of systems Burns had been using into one. Bringing farming, manufacturing, distribution and nutritional advice together in a single environment saved the business considerable time and removed the friction of working across disconnected tools.

From reactive to proactive

With one integrated platform in place, Burns was able to shift from reacting to problems as they arose to working proactively across every area of the business, a change felt right across the operation.

A worthwhile route to the right decision

Burns initially engaged with Sage directly before seeing X3 demonstrated at an 'open doors' customer day hosted at R. H. Amar. Seeing how R. H. Amar had moved to X3 with Mysoft gave the team real confidence in both the software and the partner.

The R. H. Amar day we attended was really worthwhile. It was very informative, not too large, and gave us some really great demos of the software.

The Partnership

Why Mysoft?

Burns Pet Food chose to move to Sage X3 with Mysoft after seeing first-hand how Mysoft had supported a comparable business through the same journey. That confidence was borne out in delivery: Mysoft helped Burns consolidate a fragmented systems landscape into a single Sage X3 platform, giving the business one trusted source of data and the foundation to grow.

From the start, Mysoft has always been very professional and has offered us great support from a well-oiled and knowledgeable team.Giles Morgan | ERP Project Manager
