Accredo helps alloy wheel distributor
get good business traction
“We could also see there were considerable benefits
with Accredo Mercury in the areas of stock control,
reporting and customer management.”
As one of the oldest importers and distributors of alloy wheels in New Zealand, BG Marketing knows customer service lies at the heart of its business success. Helping the company maintain high levels of service are back office routines which have been running smoothly for over 20 years thanks to Accredo software.
Marketing Manager for BG Marketing, Brad Dixon, says the company is one of Accredo’s most loyal customers. “We grew up with the DOS version of their earlier product Profax and then progressed through to its Windows equivalent. Earlier this year we made the decision to move to Accredo Mercury.”

Spring to AGI’s Step
"It used to take me a couple of hours each time...
Now, I just click a button and Accredo emails
it in a couple of seconds."
AGI Australasia Ltd imports sports and recreation shoes, including major brands Avia, Ryka for women and the AND1 range of basketball footwear and clothing. In addition to supplying chains such as Rebel Sport and Great Outdoors, AGI also outfit basketball teams such as the Tall Blacks, the Nelson Giants and the Canterbury Rams.
After growth of over 60% in the past year, AGI’s old Prophet accounting system was not coping. “Every time we asked our IT support person to ‘fix’ it,” says AGI Office Manager Wendy Tolchard, “she suggested we evaluate an Accredo system – when we did it was just ‘yes, yes, yes’ to every question.”
Since switching to Accredo Mercury, AGI save more than a day every month in printing reports and statements and two hours every time a sales rep wants a stock list; they have halved the amount of paperwork in the office; and have benefited in many other ways as well.
PGF Scores Hole-in-One with
Improved Automation
"There’s not a lot you can’t get out of Accredo...
the reports are pretty intense."
Founded in 1932, PGF Golf is Australasia’s longest standing supplier of golfing equipment, but when Managing Director Brett Tucker and his associates purchased the company in 2001, the sales and dispatch processes were still stuck in the 1930s.
“We needed to reduce the errors and delays that occurred between taking orders and dispatching them,” says Brett, “and we also wanted to free up our customer service people to generate income rather than just enter data.”
Focusing initially on improving efficiencies, Brett consulted Accredo Qualified Support Person Sue Spindler of Eicor Resources in Christchurch, who recommended upgrading their Profax accounting
system to Accredo Saturn, and installing SalesLink Mobile technology from I.T. Link. Sales reps now send orders directly from Treo smartphones to PGF’s Accredo system via Telecom’s CDMA network, and the company has been transformed.
