"We maxed out Quickbooks within our first year. We needed a system that would allow us to grow quickly, without worrying about whether our internal accounting and inventory system could handle the growth."

| The
Challenge |
|
With over 200,000 customers relying on Gunther Gifts to help commemorate their special occasions, it was critical for the company to have an integrated solution that could manage its accounting and inventory effectively and efficiently.
In addition, with several Websites pulling information from the same inventory pool, Gunther Gifts needed a system that would allow them to easily keep track of their inventory across multiple channels. "We maxed out Quickbooks within our first year," said Lisa Gunther, co-owner & CFO, Gunther Gifts. "We needed a system that would allow us to grow quickly, without worrying about whether our internal accounting and inventory system could handle the growth," she added. |

| The
Solution |
|
In looking at various accounting and inventory solutions, the one
that stood out was Everest Software's cost-effective, all-in-one Everest Advanced. The fully integrated solution includes accounting, inventory control, sales, order entry, purchasing, e-commerce, shipping and receiving, and more, allowing Gunther Gifts to manage and track business operations online and offline, from storefront to the back office, without missing a beat.
From implementation to daily activities, the company transitioned seamlessly to the Everest system. "It is always difficult to start anything new," said Gunther. "Once we began implementation of the software, it moved along quickly and we received excellent training so we were up and running within a week." With Everest's help, it was an easy next step to train the entire staff to use the system - a process that saved Gunther Gifts thousands of dollars.
In addition, since Everest offers both on-demand and on-premise solutions, the company was able to pick the system that best suited their needs. "We have a high volume of activity, and in the past if you had to log on to an online billing system, we were at the mercy of the provider's uptime or the DSL uptime in our area which was not reliable," stated Gunther. "By having the flexibility of an on-premise solution, we're able to process all our orders offline quickly and efficiently."
With Everest Advanced, Gunther Gifts can easily keep track of inventory across multiple Web storefronts and control the inflow/outflow of products, ensuring that gifts are always available when requested by a customer. "Everest Software has excellent features and support. That gives us piece of mind and keeps our business running smoothly and our customers happy," Gunther said.
Currently Gunther Gifts sells
most gifts via
mail order and
the Internet.
As they
continue to expand, Everest’s business management software will be there to support this
growth 100% of the way.
Thursday,. "We know
we will not
max out Everest
or be forced
to change to
another system.
We can now spend
more of our
time bringing
in new business
and serving
our customers
than worrying
about our ERP
program," said
Gunther.
