Intelligent Business Systems has upgraded the enterprise management system for the 28-strong Pasty Presto retail chain to speed up reporting and enhance the business information available to the retailer's directors and senior managers.

Based primarily in the south and south west of England, Pasty Presto is an upmarket bakery café chain selling high-quality, freshly-made food and drink.

The upgrade, managed by IBS project managers, Mark Bagnall and Neil Quinn, has seen the installation of StockLink Professional at the outlets and StockLink Enterprise at head office.

The project included extensive training of managers, specially commissioned training manuals and a four-week implementation schedule.

“Thanks to IBS efforts we now get much faster business data transfer from our outlets to our head office so we can have detailed stock result information to run our business processes. By selecting to use an ADSL communications infrastructure the speed of data transfer is up to 100 times faster than the old standard dial-up. IBS used the ‘stock result designer' module within Stocklink to design new, more detailed stock results for different stock categories,” said Pasty Presto founder and managing director Stephen Grocutt.

“Now we have the capability to receive live, real time information every hour (at a much faster speed) so we constantly know what is happening within the business,” he said.

“This contract shows the benefits of long-term relationships as our understanding and knowledge of Presto Pasty greatly assisted the smooth transition between the existing and new systems,” said IBS managing director Gareth Powell.

Based in Brackley , Northants, Intelligent Business Systems operates exclusively in the hospitality, catering and leisure market, supplying POS management systems to multi-site enterprises and complex individual sites needing a high degree of management control.
