It all started with a passion for finding solutions. In 1986, Craig Fisher established Solid Innovation\u00ae in Prince Albert, SK, Canada. Coming from a strong business system engineering background in banking, the founders believed that small- and medium-sized businesses could benefit from the enormous efficiencies of computer technology.<\/p>\n
With a vision for a robust route accounting software system, Solid developed its first product, which was marketed as General Manager in 1987. Business owners immediately embraced this accounting software as an easy-to-use, yet powerful, point-of-sale oriented, transaction management and accounting solution.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the General Manager’s success, a wholesale distribution company entered the picture. As a distributor to convenience stores, they needed a mobile sales system to make their business accounting practices more efficient. True to its primary client-needs-driven and centred philosophy, Solid\u2019s growing staff of programmers build on General Manager\u2019s success by creating the first version of the Solid Sales Pro\u2122, the mobile sales program in the Solid Route Accounting\u2122 product suite. It was released in 1991.<\/p>\n
Solid Route Accounting\u2122 was the industry’s first fully integrated route accounting system that seamlessly connected mobile invoicing and inventory control with its own integrated back-office accounting system. In short, it was a revolution in the direct store distribution (DSD) industry.<\/p>\n
As the demand for mobile sales systems grew and Solid gained recognition among its clients, the opportunities became apparent. In 1995, version 2 of Solid Sales Pro\u2122, the first Canadian route accounting system to run on the Symbol 4600, was released. The release of Solid Route Accounting\u2122 – Integration Edition in 2004 has revolutionized the industry even further with the addition of new features and improvements in equipment.<\/p>\n
Solid Route Accounting\u2122 integrates with and extends accounting\/ERP systems providing highly accurate, reliable, centrally managed pre-sales, invoicing, inventory pricing, customer management and route solutions.<\/p>\n
On May 1, 2011, Bernd Kleyenst\u00fcber and Kris Peters, after working several years at Solid, chose to become partners in the business.<\/p>\n
In 2012, Solid released its 4th generation of Solid Route Accounting\u2122 that allows clients the flexibility and functionality to use modern handheld computers running on Android or iOS operating systems.<\/p>\n
While such product innovations from Solid continued over the last 35 years, the company’s growth is the result of two fundamental values:
\n– A commitment to listen to clients and exceed their expectations
\n– Careful, thoughtful development of our reliable, easy-to-use mobile sales system<\/p>\n
Our ongoing commitment to customer service and innovative ideas continue to be Solid’s core foundation and drive its business practices.
