The Challenge
Since inception, ShuBee® had been running two separate systems, one for sales and one for accounting. With two systems to populate with data, lots of time was eaten up by data entry and re-keying. As sales continued to rise, ShuBee® was faced with a choice: hire more employees for data entry, or find a new, complete system.
About The Customer
ShuBee®, a Macon, GA, based company, supplies a wide variety of service industries with top quality shoe protection. Founded in 2000, ShuBee® provides service professionals with high quality products made specifically for tough jobs. Owner and CEO, Steve Stone, saw a need for personal protection products made specifically for his technicians when he owned his own plumbing and HVAC company. He and his brother, Mann, decided the need was great enough and ShuBee® started out of their mother’s garage. ShuBee® prides itself on supplying professional products made specifically for the service industry to make sure you can do your job better!
The Solution
After determining the time was right to find a new system, ShuBee® began investigating options. ShuBee® considered several solutions, then decided Microsoft Dynamics GP was best for their needs. ShuBee® began a search for a partner to handle the implementation, and finally selected Velosio. “We considered several providers, but we just liked (Velosio) best.” The implementation was a success, guided by Velosio’s experienced technicians.

Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals.
