Finding great solutions, side by side.
Founded in 1995, Gasket & Shim Industries set out to become South Africa's biggest supplier of soft-cut components. As they grew, an invoicing package wasn't enough — they wanted real control. They shortlisted Paradigm against another ERP, and Paradigm won on the cloud and on real-time reporting.
Aiming to be SA's biggest.
Gasket & Shim Industries (Pty) Ltd was founded in 1995 and is based in the Western Cape. They serve a diverse range of industries nationwide, supplying components — with the goal of becoming the biggest supplier of soft-cut components in South Africa.
Outgrowing "just invoicing".
Like many, GSI joined the digital age with a computerised financial system — used mainly to invoice. As the business grew, their needs changed. They wanted more control of their operations, and went looking for a system to help them get it.
Shortlisted, then chosen.
GSI weighed Paradigm against another ERP. These are the reasons Paradigm came out ahead.
Cloud, Not Hardware
Operated in the cloud — no on-premise server hardware, and no need for onsite IT specialists.
Hosting Handled
The Paradigm Hosting division covers every hosting requirement with a tech-savvy, dedicated team.
Real-Time Reporting
Comprehensive reports and information retrieval, in real time, at a touch of a button.
Feature-Rich Front-End
One system for operations, customers, suppliers, inventory, orders and factory orders.
Integrates With Sage
Fully integrates into Sage Pastel Partner and Sage 200 Evolution accounting.
Beat The Alternative
The other shortlisted ERP simply couldn't compete at the level GSI required.
A more productive business.
