Construction
It’s not overly complicated, which is a compliment
to EasyBuild.
to EasyBuild.
Something Finance Directors everywhere can agree on is the need for modern finance processes to facilitate better decision- making, efficiency and compliance.
Creating integrated, real-time data visibility
Adam Burchnall about ConQuest:
I’d been nervous about data migration, but within a day, it was complete – over three companies.
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 company’s 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.
Making construction businesses more efficient, compliant and profitable
EasyBuild’s reputation for integrity, collaboration and a commitment to excellence means that clients can expect an outstanding service. We know that implementing a new ERP system can sometimes be
a painful process, particularly when staff are resistant to change.
However, T&W’s experience shows that, with careful planning in-house and EasyBuild’s professional services consultants on hand to help every step of the way, the extensive benefits of implementing a leading ERP solution can be felt immediately.
In a fast-changing commercial world, improved efficiency, compliance and profitability plus happier staff and clients are critical success factors. Partnering with EasyBuild makes commercial sense on so many levels. Which company wouldn’t want that?
Committed to clients’ success
"EasyBuild’s Development Team is very accommodating and supportive."
For T & W, the cultural and behavioural change that implementing a new system brings was one of the biggest challenges. However, taking time to work out with different areas of the business exactly what their needs were, alongside EasyBuild professional services consultants dedicated support throughout the process, meant that the new system went live seamlessly across three different companies simultaneously. T&W’s finance and buying teams were able to see why EasyBuild was being installed and could see how the software would benefit them and the company.
The EasyBuild team gave support to T&W through training days and the implementation was successfully achieved on time. Within a week or two of installation, support ticket requests were already rare.
Collaborating to meet clients’ needs
One of 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 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.
Facilitating smooth running projects and improved cost management
"We have so much more information to make informed decisions, as a business."
The biggest benefit so far from using EasyBuild for T & W has been having rapid access to real-time information from one system, rather than information only at month end from two different systems. The increased data visibility has led to better efficiency, effectiveness and also to 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 visible to the commercial team.
Next up for T & W and 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.
