The award-winning online bicycle retailer is the largest employer in the Ballyclare area with a workforce of more than 230 staff. They supply people in more than 100 countries across the world with high value cycle parts and clothing from more than 300 different brands.
Chris Watson, Managing Director of Chain Reaction Cycles explains, "We have been expanding at a phenomenal rate and business is up since last year. Due to this expansion, we recognised that we needed to improve our financial and reporting systems.
"Initially we thought that we would develop these systems ourselves. However, another business colleague recommended that we contact Xperience..., who are experts in the industry. When Xperience... demonstrated Pegasus Opera II we realised that there was an excellent solution already available. We were particularly impressed by the reporting functionality of Pegasus Opera II.
"Xperience will be implementing a fully integrated financial suite of modules and will be involved in the system design, training of our staff and ongoing support of the system."
Andrew Cavey, director of Xperience... explained, "We offer prospective clients more than one accounting software solution. As a result of this we work very closely with them to ensure that we fully understand their business requirements. We can then make recommendations as to which solution is the most appropriate to them. We then demonstrate our solution so that companies can clearly see how the systems will be used so they can easily assess the potential benefits.
"Chain Reaction Cycles is a very impressive company, growing from a local small family bike shop in 1984 to an online global retailer. The Pegasus Opera II and Business Intelligence solution that we will be implementing will cover all financial management aspects of their business.
"We are delighted to be working with such a successful locally based company that is without doubt a world leader in its field"
Chris continues, "We are really pleased to be working with Xperience and are looking forward to implementing the Pegasus Opera II system. We fully expect the new system to help us grow and develop even further in the future."
