Merlin helps STP gain three record months in a row

Specialist Technical Products are a long established manufacturer and supplier of high quality butyl tape and associated products, based at a purpose built manufacturing facility with offices in Winsford, South Cheshire.

With over 20 staff and a growing business, STP felt their existing systems, a combination of Sage Line 50 and tailored spreadsheets, were no longer fulfilling their specific requirements and a fully integrated software product was required to help manage the whole business from Production Control to Sales and Purchase Ordering through to Accounting Ledgers and Management Dashboards / Reporting.

Anthony Lowe, Operations Director, evaluated several software products before choosing Merlin Business Software and STP went live in the summer of 2019.

“Implementing Merlin has proved hugely beneficial, I don’t know how we managed to run the business without it” says Anthony “We have had three record months in a row which Merlin has played a key part, it’s now helping us to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation too. Merlin has considerably improved our output and efficiencies across the board, it was a big step for us but the Merlin team, right from the pre-sale onwards, gave me a great deal of confidence and they were there to help us at every step through the implementation. We certainly made the right decision and I would have no hesitation in recommending Merlin”.
