Goals Score with Sage 200 Business Management Solution
Company Profile
Goals Soccer Centres PLC was formed in November 2000 and is one of the largest chains of five-a-side soccer centres in the UK. The company’s headquarters are in East Kilbride and they currently have 37 locations throughout the UK in most of the country’s major cities.
Having experienced rapid growth, Goals has now expanded abroad to the United States, with a centre in Los Angeles, and this expansion is expected to continue.
Problem/Challenge
With Goals Soccer’s significant growth, the company had outgrown their current business management solution – Sage 50 Accounts. Sage 50 had become slow due to the number of transactions being processed - causing great problems.
The lack of customisation and flexibility of Sage 50 was also an issue with Goals. They required more custom reports, the ability to analyse data quickly and to be able to integrate their multiple systems. They had reached the limits that Sage 50 offered, and needed a system which could grow with their business.
