Customer in the spotlight

Administration & Marketing Solutions Pty Ltd acting for the My Chemist / Chemist Warehouse Group drives business efficiencies with Microsoft Dynamics AX

The My Chemist / Chemist Warehouse Group is one of Australia’s largest buying groups for the retail pharmacy sector. It is a multi-store retail store business with over 162 stores in Victoria, NSW, QLD, TAS, ACT, WA and SA.

Administration & Marketing Solutions Pty Ltd’s goal was to implement a new finance system to replace its existing DOS based Accpac Financials. The company wanted to improve its business processes and be able to provide store owners and senior management with timely information.

Administration & Marketing Solutions Pty Ltd was looking for a scalable solution with an open architecture platform. This allowed integration of data from third party software solutions, for example, Warehouse Management System, Payroll, Point of Sale etc.
