Activant Solutions, a UK aftermarket business solutions provider, has announced that it has signed an agreement with Auto Distribution Ireland to integrate its Ultimate warehouse management system into its branch network.

Activant Ultimate is designed to streamline business practices allowing the AD Ireland central warehouse to communicate with its branches in order to manage stock control, invoicing, purchasing and accounts, reducing the duplication of effort at each site.

AD Ireland – part of Auto Distribution International, one of Europe’s largest parts wholesale trade groups, comprises 13 branches throughout the Irish Republic.

AD Ireland general manager, Fred McCollum, says: “The group is growing rapidly in Ireland and therefore a system is required that will bring all aspects of the business together in a manageable and organised way.

By having one system managing the stock inventory, invoicing, accounting and purchasing, it leaves the branches free to concentrate on more important aspects of the business, Activant Ultimate has been tailored to our specific needs and we believe it will raise productivity, lower costs and, improve customer service.”
