Minorfern, one of Derbyshire's best known and highly regarded parts distributors, has installed MAM Software's Autopart management software to run its six-branch operation. The system has been deployed to improve operational efficiencies and provide the company with a platform for business development.

Established over 30 years ago, Minorfern has grown from its Chesterfield roots into a well respected and successful business with branches throughout Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The company is currently undertaking an ambitious development programme that has already seen the addition of a new distribution centre in Chesterfield, a new branch in Ilkeston and the refurbishment of its existing branch network and call centres.

"It's an exciting time for us" said Peter Holland, Managing Director at Minorfern. "Over the last 30 years the business has steadily gone from strength to strength and it's now the time to take it to the next level. As a family-owned company we are keen to retain the values that have been instrumental to our success, but we also recognise that we need to develop the business if we are to continue to thrive in an exceptionally competitive market."

"The changes we are undertaking will improve our operations and overall performance, and be the basis for continued success" said Nick Holland, Sales Director at Minorfern. "The introduction of MAM's Autopart system is integral to our development plan and will provide us with a platform for future growth. It will help us overcome the restrictions imposed by our previous system and refine our processes to increase sales and make us more efficient. MAM's proactive approach to software development will allow us to capitalise on the latest technology and ensure that the system grows with the company as our requirements become more demanding."

"We are delighted that Minorfern has chosen to partner with MAM Software" said Mike Jamieson, Managing Director at MAM Software. "Companies like Minorfern recognise that investing in technology will improve productivity and provide a long-term competitive advantage. We look forward to a long continued relationship and to helping Minorfern achieve its business ambitions."
