The importance of IT in Horseracing and Breeding
stacks_image_0A477221-FA2D-43DE-AC86-A9C00BBAC5D5
As a consequence of the ongoing international quest to create the ultimate racehorse, a breeding industry of immense complexity has developed in the UK, which enjoys worldwide renown for the quality and value of its racing bloodstock.

Any horseracing and breeding business operating within this complex industry has to contend with a considerable volume of vital but mundane and time-consuming administration activities. To address this drain on resources, Creative has developed ECLIPSE, a fully-integrated business solution that is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of the horse racing business community.

Based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, ECLIPSE streamlines everyday operations to improve responsiveness, reduce costs and allow a clearer focus on more profitable aspects of the business. By employing a single IT system to connect everyone within the organisation, ECLIPSE encourages provision of the highest standards of service to win and retain customer loyalty.

Apart from storing the particulars of the horses central to the business, ECLIPSE can record details of nomination sales, plus transport movements and costs, all of which are integrated with general ledger entries. Horse and nomination data may also be imported from Equisoft equine software, while customised forms and comprehensive group reporting functions automate as much of the record-keeping and analysis process as possible.

A summary of ECLIPSE capabilities is given below:

HORSE RECORDS -
Stores particulars of each horse with its asset and cost entries and acquisition/disposal details, reclassifies and revalues as required; all fully integrated with general ledger.

NOMINATION RECORDS
- Stores nomination sales and cost entries, provides average stallion price, and produces nomination statements; all fully integrated with general ledger.

TRANSPORT RECORDS - Stores horse transport movements, calculates transport costs per job and provides automated sales invoicing for these.

EQUISOFT IMPORT FUNCTION - Imports horse particulars and nomination details from Equisoft, produces external keep invoices and internal keep journals.
