Pet lovers will already know of the pet flaps and automatic pet feeders such as the Cat Mate, Dog Mate and Fish Mate products that are produced by Pet Mate Ltd. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality, innovative pet accessories, Pet Mate has to be sure that their software system has all of the controls they require and that the software is backed up by a knowledgeable support team. The Pet Mate UK headquarters in Hersham, Surrey has now got a MADICS finance and distribution system helping them to control their stock, purchasing and sales functions and is in the process of implementing the manufacturing system to assist still further.

The success of Pet Mate has been due to their ability to recognise and develop products that are wanted by their market and also in providing the backup by way of spares, quality control and reliable delivery that are needed in a competitive market place. MADICS has been chosen to provide the infrastructure to support this system.

A discerning MADICS client, Pet Mate has thoroughly examined MADICS to ensure that all of their key requirements are met with the MADICS software. The final decision according to Steve Hensman, Operations Manager, was that "after discussions with many software companies, we found that MADICS understood our requirements and could help us to achieve our goals by working with us, without the technical jargon that others use to confuse"

Pet Mate products can be purchased from most leading pet and aquatic retailers including Pets at Home and World of Water as well as many garden centres.
