Provida Replaces Pronto ERP with Sage ERP at Prestige Pet Products
Brisbane - 1 May 2011,
Today in Brisbane, Provida signed a significant contract with Australia's leading pet products supplier to replace their failed Pronto ERP software system with a state of the art Sage ERP system. Prestige Pet Products will implement Sage ERP, Accellos Warehouse Management Software (WMS) and Provida's in-house developed Nimbus web store. The project will commence this month with the initial discovery workshops and will complete when the on-line web store goes live in October 2011.

Provida demonstrated its Nimbus web store and Prestige Pet Products were blown away by the functionality and the fact the online store is tightly integrated with the ERP software.
Provida's Managing Director Steven Rider congratulated Mr Barton Grant, Prestige Pet Products Managing Director, on his well researched decision to go with Provida's solution. Steven said "Barton and his team were extremely rigorous in their software selection process. This reflects well on Provida since we came out on top amongst the ERP software industry's best players."

Melbourne, VIC - 30 June 2009
Founded in 1973 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Crabtree & Evelyn has evolved from a small, family-run business to an international company, respected for its naturally inspired remedies and home comforts.

It is this unique relationship with nature that Crabtree & Evelyn diligently seeks to preserve through its ranges of home and body care products
The name of the company was inspired by Evelyn a famous English conservationist and Crabtree the ancestor of the apple tree.
Crabtree & Evelyn use all Sage Accpac modules (16 users) as well as the Inciniti web store and the Warehouse Management System (WMS). This takes Provida’s total number of WMS sites to 4.
Crabtree & Evelyn are excited about Provida’s EDI solution and will implement this over the coming months. When Bill Merry the IT Manager was asked for the reason to change Sage partners he wrote that he selected Provida because “of enhanced development opportunities for EDI and iCongo (online retail store) platforms. ”

The company specialises in all aspects of office fit-out including design, construction, project management and consulting as well as financing the fit-out solutions for their clients.
Their unique, tailored approach offers different levels of fit-out from the standard cost efficient option to the state of the art Premium offering to suit every clients needs.
A1 Office Fit-outs chose Provida to implement their CRM system because of Provida's similar approach to our clients needs and to our ERP/CRM projects. The Sage CRM solution was the right fit for A1 for several key reasons:
- Sage CRM was deemed to be the wisest choice to allow short and medium term business goals to be reached in a phased approach.
- As the goal was to gradually expand the system into a full end-to-end Sage ERP/CRM system, bringing together all parts of the business, a planned, strategic approach was preferred (rather than simply picking up an off the shelf CRM package to solve 'today's' problem). By launching the CRM first and connecting systems later with out of the box integration they are able to drive their business through sales and marketing activity secure in the knowledge that the system will evolve and expand to drive the rest of the business without needing to reinvest in another CRM package later.
- The extensive out of the box customisability and core functionality provides A1 with all of the 'tailoring' they need to meet their specific and immediate challenges in a fully web based application. They wanted a system that was extremely flexible and customisable but easy to use and with which they can easily become self-sufficient in responding to changes in their business requirements.
- The Sage CRM "web based, access it anywhere & sync it offline" approach is ideal for mobile sales and project staff and the integration to the back end system completes the package for A1 (and many other clients!)
- Provida's strength lies in translating our clients 'wish lists' into concrete deliverables while making sure we understand the direction they wish to go in and protecting their investment by providing quick returns. Our friendly, down to earth consultants have implemented complex systems in so many types of company across such diverse industries that it is now second nature to them to zero in what is important to a client and design the optimum solution that fits well and delivers the most benefit to the client.
A1's strategy is bearing fruit as they have steadily grown the number of CRM users since launching Sage CRM in December 2007and are now discussing, with Provida's Melbourne team, accelerating the process to go to the next stage i.e. utilising the integrated Sage Accpac ERP system with Project Job Costing and comprehensive Inventory and Purchasing management. Sage Payroll and, potentially Point of Sale options will complete the picture and provide this growing and innovative company with their 'ideal' end-to-end system.

Aboriginal Resource & Development Services Chooses Sage Accpac from Provida
Darwin, Northern Territory - 22 March 2007
Northern Territory based Aboriginal Resource & Development Services (ARDS) has chosen Provida to implement Sage Accpac ERP 500 in its Darwin Head Office. Provida continued its impressive track record in being selected by Not for Profit organisations to implement Sage Accpac.
Provida in conjunction with ARDS is perfecting an Australian first by using a Sage Accpac Rapid Implementation Methodology.
Neil Leek FCPA, ARDS Business Manager said "Provida came up with the idea of a Rapid Implementation Strategy to meet our budgetary constraints and also to resolve the issue of our remote location. The Rapid Implementation Strategy means that I and my team will have to do some extra work initially but we don't mind as this will help us learn the system faster, which is great because we need to be as self sufficient as possible being based in the Northern Territory."
Since its incorporation in 1973, ARDS has worked at the 'cutting edge' of community development. The organisation began as the community development arm of the Northern Regional Council of Congress (NRCC). The NRCC is the Aboriginal and Islander Presbytery of the Northern Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia. Established in Darwin, ARDS has since grown to establish offices in Nhulunbuy and Galiwinku in the North-East Arnhem Land region.
Over the years, ARDS has been involved in education, language work, community work and archiving of Yolngu culture. In the area of education, ARDS provides cross cultural education in language in the areas of health, economics, law and governance. Over the last ten years, health education has become a major focus as the health crisis has worsened throughout the north-east Arnhem Land region. Seminars and workshops are also held to educate people from the dominant culture about Yolngu culture.

Provida Wins with NSW Lotteries
Sydney, New South Wales - 31 March, 2006
ERP software firm, Provida Pty Ltd has snared a significant contract with NSW State Lotteries to replace its ageing accounting software with a new state of the art financial management solution from Sage ACCPAC. The deal, worth an undisclosed sum will see Provida deploy Sage ACCPAC ERP 500 in the Lotteries Homebush head office.
NSW Lotteries chose Sage ACCPAC ERP after undertaking a rigorous selection process. The tender had initially attracted around 12 respondents, with the final cut comprising 3 different solutions including Microsoft Navision and Microsoft Great Plains.
Part of the winning solution was Provida's ground breaking Document Management System (DMS) which would allow NSW State Lotteries to attach images of paper documents to the relevant Sage ACCPAC transaction thereby greatly improving auditing and document finding capabilities. The DMS solution Provida will deliver is unique in that it converts the scanned documents to binary format for storage in the Microsoft SQL database along side the Sage ACCPAC transactions. This process significantly reduces the storage space required on the server.
Managing Director of Provida, Steven Rider CPA said "I knew we had the best of breed financial management software solution that would last NSW Lotteries at least 10 years. We provide the best after sales support in the industry so when Lotteries selected Provida amongst 12 competing firms; I felt they made absolutely the right choice."
Provida will perform a 2-3 week pre-implementation diagnostic phase and then implementation will begin in earnest ready for a 1 July "go-live".
