Sage Software Helps Win Stuff Stick With a Winner -- Sage Accpac ERP18 January 2006
Sage Software announced today another example of how it responds to the needs, challenges, and dreams of small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with the successful migration and upgrade of the business management system of Win Stuff/Good Stuff LLC of New York, NY from its legacy ACCPAC Plus accounting system to the award-winning Sage Accpac ERP business management system. With the assistance of Sage Accpac business partner Net@Work, also located in New York, this migration exemplifies how Sage Software and its network of more than 6,000 authorized resellers in North America mutually deliver on its "customers for life" strategy, effectively providing the business management solutions SMBs determine they need as they grow and change over time.
Founded in 1988, with 230 employees in 12 locations nationwide, Win Stuff's skill cranes are found in thousands of restaurants, supermarkets, and malls throughout the country, making Win Stuff one of the largest vertically integrated skill crane vending machine operators in the U.S. They also manufacture all the toys used in their cranes through their subsidiary, Good Stuff.
Win Stuff needed to upgrade from its DOS-based accounting system to a state-of-the-art, end-to-end business management system that could handle all of its accounting functions, from payroll and reporting to real-time inventory management.
Win Stuff CEO Sid Banon says when it came time to upgrade, the company took the opportunity to survey other options, but ultimately chose to stick with Sage Software and migrate to Sage Accpac ERP. "We're very pleased with the improvements we've seen since upgrading to Sage Accpac," says Banon. "It's easy for new employees to learn, and is adaptable to our various business segments. It's grown well with us, too. The real-time data it provides has been responsible for improving our employees' efficiency between 10 and 20 percent."

Sage Accpac
Win Stuff/Good Stuff LLC relies on Sage Accpac ERP and its financial modules to effectively manage every aspect of their business. The system automates the company's general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory control, purchase order, and order entry processes, and each module is completely integrated with each other, providing a truly seamless, end-to-end business management system.
In addition to providing his company data in real-time, streamlined order entry, plus easier calculations and payments of sales commissions, Banon also praises the broad reporting functionality of Sage Accpac ERP.
"Every module in the system has a series of reports that are useful to us. This really helps us run our business more wisely." He concludes, "After researching the competition, I decided that Sage Accpac did everything we wanted, and was a familiar friend. We're all very comfortable with it. So Win Stuff stuck with a winner."
