Formula One supplier chooses eXant’s user-friendly data extraction tool - eXPorter
Goodridge are the world’s leading hose and fitting company established in 1969. Over the last 15 years the group has developed its original equipment manufacturing capabilities in specialist areas of large-scale automotive product. With a client base which includes the most prestigious names in world championship motor sport Goodridge are at the heart of the world motor sport industry.
The Finance team at Goodridge had previously used Corvu as their reporting tool and had found the system far too complex and technical to use. Rather than allowing the user to extract information to Excel in order to further manipulate it, the system demanded that all company reporting was done within Corvu itself which often required help from an already over-stretched I.T. Department.
“Staff were scared to use the old system Corvu because of its complexity, I was the only person who had knowledge of Corvu, so this meant everyone came to me for their reports”.

Rather than investing in further employee training the Management team at Goodridge decided they needed a new, user-friendly tool for their reporting requirements. It was decided that the new system should enable key company data to be readily available to the relevant staff - so they could use it themselves.
After looking at the various alternatives it was decided that only eXant eXPorter offered the function and user-friendliness that Goodridge needed.
Data is now available to all relevant staff and within the space of a couple of clicks reports are produced as and when they are required by whoever requires them.
“eXPorter allows me to get the information I want when I want it”.
A relatively small eXPorter user in terms of the number of user licences which they originally purchased, Goodridge required only five initially - now plan to roll the product out to an additional nine users - their nine strong salesforce.
“eXPorter has more than met our expectations”.
