Apex Grange

Established in 1993 and based in Central Hertfordshire and Kent, Apex Grange offer a one-stop shop for the supply of materials to the natural stone, tiling, flooring, concrete, stone cleaning and restoration industries throughout the United Kingdom. With shrewd and hardworking management, the company has seen rapid expansion since 2004, when products for the flooring and tiling industries were incorporated into their core range. As a result, they have since acquired larger premises in Welwyn Garden City and opened a new depot with extensive warehousing in Dartford. Apex Grange are now main distributors for a diverse collection of suppliers, including; Ardex, Mapei, Weber, Schluter, Flex, Bosch, Rubi, Akemi, Lithofin and Sait Abrasives.

Senior Systems and Network Administrator, Dave Mansfield took a considerable time in his research and evaluation for a replacement system. Input was sought from both the Sales and Finance Departments, from the Depot Managers and lastly from the Company Directors to establish the requirements and wish lists, so that all company requirements were taken into consideration, and where possible met. Dave finally settled on Sharp-aX, a modern and comprehensive management and accounting system from Sharp-aX Computer Systems in nearby Berkhamsted.

Apex Grange took six months from order to go-live and needed all of that time, plus the training and the involvement of the Sharp-aX support team as Dave. Who is extremely competent, wanted all of the staff to use the system as extensively as possible straightaway and achieve at least some of the dramatic benefits that the system offers from the very start. Dave added, “We had a big increase in our daily workload as we set up the new system. Our software problems proved to be minimal though and Sharp-aX came to our aid whenever required, so we were able to move forward with total confidence.” Read more
