Kellock Pots

Kellock Pots are growing a strong future within MYOB Advanced

Wednesday August 24th, 2022 MYOB Acumatica Implementation

Kellock Pots and Planters have been growing for 20 years, distributing pots across Australia. They relied on manual, out-of-date inventory tracking and customer management. MYOB Advanced improved its processes and will continue to see long-term benefits.

Who are Kellock Pots?

Kellock Pots and Planters are specialist importers and distributors of authentic, decorative pots and planter boxes. They import from many different Asian and European locations and South Africa and have clients across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. To match the fast demand of landscapers across the country, they always need to carry a significant amount of stock.

What catalysed the switch to MYOB Advanced?

As they must keep a lot of stock on hand, they needed a strong system for inventory management. However, they needed a top-class Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool to get ahead of the game. MYOB Advanced had strong support for both of these functions.

What changes followed the decision?

Kellock now has full visibility of its stock position and incoming orders. The automotive power of MYOB Advanced also means that remittances and reminder emails are sent automatically, saving time from the manual input. The AR team has an instant drill-down on every customer profile to see each correspondence. This has saved the team an estimated day per week in debt collection. However, on the opposite side of the spectrum, having such detailed customer information so readily available has led to an unprecedented level of personalised service.

How are they now?

MYOB Advanced has brought discipline to Kellock Pots in the way they operate. It has brought consistency to their customer process. By creating mailing lists inside MYOB Advanced, they keep their customers informed. Their inventory management processes are also improved through improved warehouse tracking, they have the right stock in the right place at the right time, which improves their bottom line.
