Managing IKEA's suppliers' invoices: a real feat!
Requiring safety, and and a fool-proof sturdyness.Thanks to our software's great stability, we were able to meet the challenge of developing a system to manage the Swedish furniture giant's supplier invoices with some confidence. This meant administering no fewer than a million invoices per year, which needed to be consolidated from all corners of the world.

When our company decided to acquire a computer system several years ago, we asked a consultant for advice concerning the best equipment and software to install. Our choice of hardware was swiftly made: we opted for a simple corporate network consisting of PC-compatible equipment.
We use standard office software, such as word processing and spreadsheets.
One of the most important issues for a small, fast-growing company is financial control. Its management must always keep a general view of its financial situation, and must be able to trust the figures contained in its accounting reports. The usual work overload required from the administrative staff of a newly created company is not compatible with the complete schooling of new users. The software must therefore be easy, and intuitive to use, which is one of GIT's accounting solution's strongest qualities.
From the onset of our relation, GIT's support team granted us special attention, as well as their programmers, when it became necessary to integrate the softare with other applications. Because of our company's growth, integrating our accounting sofware with our other applications, such as a programme to follow-up our customers, was one of our main concerns.
We are particularly pleased with our cooperation with GIT concerning the specific development of certain interfaces linking our various computer systems.
THe user-friendliness of GIT's applications, their adaptability, as well as the quality of the customer support make GIT a company which we are happy to recommend.
