Watch short videos of CAL customers describing what they like about working with Microsoft Dynamics GP and CAL Business Solutions.


Bill Sullivan, Vice President, New England Home Care
Cromwell, Connecticut Healthcare Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“We’ve been using CAL Business Solutions and Great Plains (Dynamics GP) now for probably about 8 years and we’ve just recently worked with CAL on a much bigger project, we integrated not only Great Plains for New England Home Care, but also for 3 other states; New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, and CAL came out and upgraded all of our subsidiaries to Great Plains 10.0 and we had a great successful project and our corporate headquarters now is using FRx to take all that data information and report on it. So we went from 4 divisions using Quicken, Peachtree, Great Plains, and a variety of other applications, to everybody now using Great Plains, with one reporting structure, one finalized port, which has streamlined not only reporting at the corporate level, but has made our agency more efficient and more cost effective. So we love Great Plains and more importantly, we love CAL.”

Bristol, Connecticut Healthcare Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“We have been a client of CAL since 2000. I love the flexibility of Dynamics GP- we’ve had more flexibility and more powerful reporting tools than we ever could have imagined with our old system. We have the flexibility to report from period to period to cross periods. It’s made a huge difference for our reporting capabilities.”

Cathy Moran, Owner, Moran USA, LLC
North Haven, Connecticut Distribution Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“We have been on Dynamics GP for about three years. We are a different company since we started working with CAL. Our CAL consultant is a wonderful, patient teacher. He has sat at my side for hours, and in fact days, as we went through a very recalcitrant bank reconciliation, solved the problem, patiently,quietly,patiently,patiently, going through everything we needed to know and I really feel very empowered working with him.”


Jim Moran, Owner, Moran USA, LLC
North Haven, Connecticut Distribution Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP

Joel Smith, Staff Accountant, Santa Fuel, Inc.
Bridgeport, Connecticut Petroleum/Oil Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“I just have to say I love how smoothly Great Plains had helped make our year-end closing this year, you know. Just, everything closed up perfect, couldn’t complain at all.”


Bobbi-Ann Berglund, Accountant, Thor Specialties Inc.
Trumbull, Connecticut Distribution/Manufacturing Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“We decided to move from Solomon (Dynamics SL) to Great Plains (Dynamics GP) for more efficiencies within the system. It’s going to provide more financial security for us, as far as getting our information our data will be better, there is a lot of neat things that should help enhance our productivity without increasing headcount, which is a big thing for us.”


Andrea Merwin, Shipping Coordinator, Thor Specialties Inc.
Trumbull, Connecticut Distribution/Manufacturing Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP

Al Piscatelli, Inside Sales Associate, Warner Specialty Products, Inc.
Cheshire, Connecticut Distribution Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“There are many things I like about SalesPad, but the one thing that stands out, is the ability to enter orders, twice, three times faster than we used to, and the ability to look up information and data quicker.”



Penny Anderson, Office Manager, Warner Specialty Products, Inc.
Cheshire, Connecticut Distribution Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“I work both in Dynamics GP and in SalesPad. GP is very strong accounting software that I am accustomed to and gives easy access to historical data and present data. Just a great tool to work with. In SalesPad I like the ability to work with information that’s in GP on maybe a little more sales oriented atmosphere. I also like being able to give my customers answers right away without having to put them on hold to go out and find an actual hard copy of paperwork, it is right there at my fingertips. It makes representing our company that much better.”


Jennifer Decker, Controller, Women’s Health
Avon, Connecticut Healthcare Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“Well, I would say that my favorite thing is the ability to get data so easily and manipulate it, really the ability to export to Excel is rockin.”


Jennifer Francis, Accounting Manager, Evolution Benefits, Inc.
Avon, Connecticut Healthcare Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP
 
“Before Great Plains we were using 7 different applications to do all the different functionalities and with Great Plains we are just using Great Plains. The fact that we went from one system module to everything we need is fantastic and saves a ton of time. ”


Jeff Beekman, CFO, Consumers Petroleum
Trumbull, Connecticut Petroleum/Oil Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP

 
“My experience with CAL and their training has been excellent. I had some one-on-one training with Great Plains (Dynamics GP) when I came in because I have never used Great Plains before and now I can use Great Plains for the type of reporting and the type of information that I need.”


Tony Tylutki, Consumers Petroleum
Trumbull, Connecticut Petroleum/Oil Company using Microsoft Dynamics GP

 
“A great thing about Dynamics GP is that you are able to catch a lot of information and play with it, sort it, print it out, do all kinds of things to get information to people that need it, and to help management run the business better.”


Rod Bentley, Independent Consultant
Sherman, Connecticut
 
“The thing I like most about CAL is that several years ago I was looking for an ERP system, and I met the people from CAL and I went through all my requirements, what I needed, what I wanted and CAL turned around to me and said, “You know, we’re really a Great Plains vendor and what you want is not a Great Plains application, we think you could do better elsewhere.” I like that sort of honesty and so later on, several years later when I became a GP client, CAL was the first people I thought of going back to and I have not been disappointed.”


Barry Sheftel
CFO
VNA of Central CT
 
“When I started where I am now, they were using an Excel spreadsheet to prepare our roughly five different versions of our income statement and frequently none of them agreed with each other. About a year and a half ago we brought in CAL and it’s been running smoothly ever since. I get all of the financial statements off FRx and they agree with each other and I really had no problems with it. The support is excellent. I am very happy with the system.”
