Why Choose SAM?
Established in 1986, ASE Autogate initially relied on a paper-based system that effectively met their customers’ installation and maintenance needs. However, recognizing the importance of technology, by the early 2000s, they transitioned from paper to spreadsheets for job management and began using Sage Accounts software.
As their operations expanded, they realized the necessity of a comprehensive system to streamline their day-to-day activities. In 2012, they implemented SAM, which had a transformative impact. Stuart Woods, Operations Manager at ASE Autogate, emphasizes, “Using SAM has revolutionized our workflow, modernizing our processes, enhancing productivity, and reducing the workload of our administrative team.”
SAM serves as their primary solution for various tasks, including job management, communication with mobile engineers, and overseeing the entire sales process. Stuart explains, “We use it for seamless communication, job tracking, report generation, and for creating quotes and invoices.
ASE Autogate uses SAM for:
- Job Management – Create jobs, track jobs,
- Asset Management – Track assets, PPM
- Accounts Integration – Full integration with Sage 50c accounting software
- Sales Process – Generate quotations, sales orders, and invoices
- Customer and Supplier Management – Manage customer and supplier information, generate purchase orders
