Anatolia will use the applications to manage its growth while improving customer service by increasing inventory availability and visibility. The contract was signed during Lawson’s first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Bekir Elmaagacli, managing director of Anatolia Tile, said: After comparing several business software vendors, we felt the Lawson M3 suite offered a combination of well-designed features, functionality and easy-to-use interface.

Julian Archer, marketing director at Lawson Software, said: The inability to accurately track a broad range of products while ensuring efficient and effective delivery is a key barrier to growth for distributors. Our software and services endeavor to handle these problems.
