Find out how County Contractors gained market time and money using Access Easybuild!
The core of the business is the finance system, so there are a lot of stakeholders to keep happy
As a new Financial Controller with an ambitious strategic plan, it’s vital that your company’s finance system will be able to support you – and your plan.
When Ian Cook, Financial Controller at County Contractors, joined the business three years ago, that was not the case.
The Somerset-based leading commercial refurbishment specialist had an aging, existing finance system, but it was already painfully unstable and unreliable. In order for Ian to realise his vision of a more efficient, compliant and profitable business, he knew that new tools would be needed.
Making change easier for client businesses
A solution that evolves with your company’s needs.
Bringing EasyBuild into an organisation where the finance team’s processes were entirely based on the old system was a challenge. Although there was some initial push back before implementation, Ian was delighted by how well his team adapted once the new system was in use.
“Once they started using the system they could immediately see the real benefits,” says Ian. Now, three years later, the finance team at County Contractors are not just accepting of EasyBuild’s software, they are big fans!
One of the biggest attractions for County Contractors was EasyBuild’s constant focus on enhancements and developments to the system. If a client suggests a development that will be helpful to the user base as a whole, then this can often be added at no further cost. However, EasyBuild’s talented development team can also create bespoke functionality for specific clients, which County Contractors have been able to benefit from.
