For nearly 50 years, Wirsam Scientific & Precision Equipment has worked to ensure labs across sub-saharan Africa have access to laboratory equipment and technical and support services. But as it continued to grow, unwieldy systems held it back. Disparate order management and invoicing systems necessitated manual, inefficient processes. Having in-house servers produced costs and complexity. When the in-house IT specialist resigned, the business lost a skillset that finally prompted examination of the IT strategy.

“NetSuite is multi-currency and this removes the headache of manually dealing with exchange rates. Previously, we would have to manually look up the Forex rates and calculate the equivalent currency values.” Alex Wagner, Wirsam Scientific & Precision Equipment
