Anglia Business Solutions (Formerly Anglia Business Computers) won the Best SME Mobility Solution category at the UK Channel Network Awards 2004, the second successive year the company has been recognised as a winner at these awards.

Last year the company won Best SME Internet Solution 2003. The winning solution, deployed for Ace Fixings in Ireland, is an Anglia developed B2B e-commerce and sales force mobility solution using a combination of Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision, Microsoft .NET and Anglia’s own ‘Drizzle’ Technology.

The system provides the sales force with immediate access to dynamic customer and product information from any location 24 hours a day. This enables sales executives to advise customers on stock availability, check on previous order progress, resolve any commercial issues and electronically enter orders while face to face with the client. The solution has helped Ace Fixings to eliminate the double entering of up to 600 customer orders a day, significantly reduced administration costs while providing the company with a unique commercial advantage in the building supply sector. For full details of the Ace Fixings case study can be found on Anglia’s website http://www.angliabs.com/solutions/Solutions_AceFixings.html

David Hurley, managing director of Anglia, said: “To win a Channel Network award for the second year running and for a different discipline is a very significant company achievement. The Ace Fixings system superbly demonstrates the in-depth MBS Navision and Microsoft .NET solution skills of our people. It also highlights the customer benefits that can be achieved from our recent substantial investments in Microsoft .NET technologies. The integration of these two world class technologies formed the basis of this unique leading edge solution”.
