Who runs on TABS, and what they say.
Independent tool shops, multi-branch hardware retailers, spares specialists, machinery dealers and industrial suppliers. Here are some of them, in their own words.
In their words
If you're looking for an ERP that just makes sense, look no further! I've worked with these guys multiple times and have implemented their systems throughout Retail units and Online Businesses.
One of the best decisions our company made was to work with ETABS. They have made the day to day running of the business so much easier than before. Stock management, in-store sales, online sales and reporting has never been easier!
I have had lots of experience in implementing 6 ERPs and supporting numerous platforms, from large enterprise solutions such as NetSuite and Business Central, to more light weight solutions like Xero. Throughout all this experience, E-Trading & Business Services (ETABS) have been the stand out providers of business technology to any of the companies I have supported. Here is why: 1. ETABS deliver all the essential features of enterprise solutions, without the unnecessary extras. This results in an intuitive, streamlined solution that is easy to implement and, more importantly, easy for your employees to use, without sacrificing the functionality needed to run your business efficiently. 2. The ETABS team truly understands small to medium retail businesses. They've walked in the shoes of business owners and know what it takes to run a retail operation. They are straightforward and clear: no jargon, no hidden costs, no smoke and mirrors. Just honest interactions that build trust. 3. Their flexibility and agility are unmatched. Forget waiting for the "quarterly scheduled release" or navigating layers of bureaucracy and cost. If you have a new opportunity that requires a tech solution, ETABS make it happen, immediately. No delays. 4. The ETABS team genuinely cares. This isn't just a slogan on a corporate website. They feel like an extension of your internal team, working alongside you with shared goals to make your business a success. 5. Data matters, and ETABS gets that. A system is only as good as the data put into it. ETABS simplify complex data processes, integrate seamlessly with external feeds (for example, from your suppliers), and provide clever, easy-to-use tools to help maintain high data quality. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending ETABS to any small to medium retailer in any sector.
