They wanted to use the same ERP system across all locations in order to reduce confusion. The system would have to be flexible enough to keep pace with SRS\u2019 growth.<\/p>\n<p>Agility SaaS provided the easy scalability SRS wanted. The hosted solution meant they just needed a reliable internet connection to get a new acquisition up and running. Sonya Wells, Vice President and Corporate Director of Information Services at SRS, says Agility makes a big difference during transitions.\u00a0<strong>\u201cWithin three days, we finalize the acquisition, conduct a physical inventory using Agility, provide onsite training, and open for business on Monday. Customers walk in the first day and our employees won\u2019t miss a beat.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SRS has had astonishing success. In six years, they have gone from eight locations to 107. Wells says the SRS Mergers and Acquisition group continues to be amazed at how quickly her team executes implementations.\u00a0<strong>\u201cWith the help of Agility, we can do in three days what it takes our competitors at least one month to do.
