Exact are Europe’s number one cloud business software for SMEs. Providing comprehensive, integrated and perhaps most importantly scalable solutions to target the requirements of companies in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution sectors without the need for multiple apps / solutions. In recent years, the cloud accounting software market has become more saturated, with most providers targeting small businesses looking for entry level accounting solutions. While Exact can compete in this space, what makes it different is the scalability and the industry specific focus of the software, offering cloud software solutions for larger businesses particularly those working within manufacturing and wholesale. Some of the key advantages of the software are: - Integration between manufacturing and accounting. - Provides order and real time inventory management. - Built in CRM system. - Gives a complete 360-degree view of your business. - Unprecedented control over your manufacturing.   Some of the more specific benefits to manufacturers and wholesalers include: - Create shop orders direct from quotations, orders and stock positions. - Track time and material consumption along with subcontracted work. - Serial and batch numbers to improve traceability. - Multi-warehouse and storage locations. - Multi-level BOMs. - Mobile app improves efficiency on the shop floor.   Here at Shorts we have long been advocates of cloud accounting solutions and the addition of Exact to our portfolio enhances our client offering especially for those larger manufacturing and wholesale companies that require scalable industry specific solutions. This collaboration along with being a fully certified partner also means we can provide clients with a more personalised end to end service from the initial scoping stage to the final implementation.   If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please do not hesitate to [contact a member of our team. ](https://info.shorts.uk.com/xero-projects-team) [![Your free consultation](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2442072/3b02d41f-8fc4-48e5-8225-3b1d76ef6e50.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2442072/3b02d41f-8fc4-48e5-8225-3b1d76ef6e50)  Other recent articles; - [The benefits of cloud accounting software](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/benefits-of-cloud-accounting-software) - [Xero Projects is ideal for small businesses](https://preview.hs-sites.com/_hcms/preview/content/5418960940?portalId=2442072&preview_key=WXgoPhez) - [Shorts - The Region's first platinum partner](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/shorts-confirmed-as-regions-first-xero-platinum-partner) ![author](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/hubfs/Alicia%20williams-1.jpg) #### Alicia Williams I am Partner of the Genus team at Shorts, a chartered certified accountant and Xero specialist.
