Since Plastics Plus opened their business in 1991, they wanted a reliable, effective system from the beginning. OGL's software helped give them the head start they needed to achieve their goal in becoming the UK's leading independent supplier of plastic sheeting products. Throughout the years, as Plastics Plus has progressed OGL has adapted their software to suit their needs allowing them to take their business to the next level and separate them from the competition.
OGL has had a long relationship with Plastics Plus, who celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2016. Managing Director, Stuart White started the business with his father and similar to OGL, is still very much a family business focusing on loyalty, integrity and family values.
Managing Director, Stuart White states: "When we started the business back in 1991, we wanted to invest in a good software package that would give our business a head start. OGL's software was recommended to us by a customer from my previous job."
"Stock management is important to us and OGL Software enables us to record stock and pricing accurately thereby reducing the amount of excess stock that we hold."
"The integrated CRM module also ensures we capture valuable information about our individual customers. By choosing OGL it allowed us to control our business in a unique way compared to a lot of companies in our industry in that we know exactly what is going on within the business at any one point. It really gave us that head start that we needed."
"The integration between sales, purchasing and the whole nominal process has improved the efficiency of our business. It allows us to sell smarter as we've got good customer records. OGL Software allows us to build up a history of a customer so we can answer questions quickly on the phone as all the information is at our finger tips which really boosts our sales capability.
"The software also optimises our sales, invoicing and the purchase ledger, which ultimately allows us to produce our management accounts within just 3 days. We're always looking to improve our business and in order to do so we need to be able to control our business which OGL Software allows us to do."
"OGL has been with us since day one and despite attempts from other companies who have come in and said we can do better they've not been able to match what we get from OGL.
"As a local business and having dealt with OGL for over 30 years I've never had any hesitation in recommending OGL to somebody else. We're proud to work with OGL. We get good support and as a long term customer we've always enjoyed great service. They work with our business. Although OGL Software is a standard package it's gone from a relatively small accounting package when we started to this all-encompassing programme that covers every aspect of our business."
