In today’s dynamic business environment, the right software can be a game-changer. But what happens when your software provider no longer meets your needs? Sanders Supply, a long-time user of the SHIMS application, found themselves at this crossroad. Their journey to overcome this challenge led them to Zumasys, a company that not only provided a solution but also transformed their business operations.
Challenge
Sanders Supply faced several key challenges:
- Sanders Supply’s previous software provider was pushing a transition to their flagship software, which would be costly and disruptive.
- The existing SHIMS application, while robust, was text-based and intimidating to new employees, complicating training and modernization.
- The business landscape’s shift towards web-based interfaces and customer expectations for self-service portals necessitated a change.
- Sanders Supply sought a trusted partner to modernize their SHIMS application to meet industry and customer expectations.

- Zumasys displayed genuine care for the SHIMS business and its customers, setting them apart from previous providers.
- The development of Rover Portal, a customer web store, was a pivotal initiative, addressing both front-end and back-end needs.
Impact

- Significant reduction in IT expenditures, credited to the improved SHIMS environment and Zumasys support.
- Upcoming showcase of achievements with Rover Portal at the SHIMS conference, highlighting the potential of modern SHIMS application to peers.
