Something Finance Directors everywhere can agree on is the need for modern finance processes to facilitate better decision-making, efficiency and compliance – especially in the construction industry.
When Adam Burchnall, Finance Director at T&W Civil Engineering Ltd, joined the business just over a year ago, it soon became clear that the thriving companies’ legacy systems no longer met its current needs.
The Northamptonshire-based civil engineering and groundwork company has been trading for over 25 years, providing an outstanding service for some of the Midlands’ leading house builders.
ERP System Implementation Made Simple Through Collaboration
We know that implementing a new ERP system can sometimes be a painful process, particularly when staff are resistant to change. Access EasyBuild’s reputation for integrity, collaboration and a commitment to excellence means that clients can expect an outstanding service.
T&W’s experience shows that, with careful planning in-house and Access EasyBuild’s professional services consultants on hand to help every step of the way, the extensive benefits of implementing a leading ERP solution were felt immediately.
I’d been nervous about data migration, but within a day, it was complete – over three companies.
Facilitating Smooth-Running Construction Projects and Improving Cost Management
The biggest benefit so far from using Access EasyBuild ERP for T&W has been gaining rapid access to real-time information from one system, rather than limited information only at month end from two different systems. The increased data visibility has led to better efficiency, effectiveness and reduced administration time. Not least, the move from processing 100,000 paper invoices a year manually to adding them electronically to a job so that they are immediately visible to the commercial team.
We have so much more information to make informed decisions, as a business.
Committed to Clients’ Success
One of Access EasyBuild’s key strengths for T&W was their development team’s willingness to add in extra functionality to tailor the solution exactly to the client’s needs. Because Access EasyBuild only creates solutions for the Construction sector, improvements will usually benefit other clients too and so the development team is very open to listening to an individual client needs and doing their utmost to find a great solution.
Next up for T&W and Access EasyBuild is tackling mobile functionality with a view to reducing waste and inefficiencies on-site. The next step in digitising invoices through Optical Character Recognition technology is also something T & W are progressing further.
EasyBuild’s Development Team is very accommodating and supportive.
In a fast-changing commercial world, improved efficiency, compliance, profitability, happier staff and clients are critical success factors. Partnering with Access EasyBuild ERP will help your construction business increase productivity and grow within a competitive sector.
