Client Case Study

Sucessfully implementing Sage 50 Accounts and Payroll and improving the Client's overall software systems.

Introduction - the Client

The Client who is one of the largest independent Services Contractor in South Wales had been using the same DOS based software to run their business for a number of years.  They relied on their system to control all facets of their Company's accounts function including; job costing, applications for payment, payment certificates, CIS calculations, payroll and accounts production. The issue with using the DOS accounting software was that it was limited when it came to report writing and there was also no link to windows based software which is necessary in today's business environment for applications such as online filing.   As well as that, with IT moving on at a considerable pace, DOS systems cannot move with it and there is a danger of the whole system failing.

 How we helped 

We were tasked with finding a software system complete with all of the functions of the DOS system and also the flexibility to integrate with windows programs and enhanced reporting functions.  We managed to do this by using three Sage software solutions; Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 50 Construct and Sage 50 Payroll.  As all of the products are within the Sage 50 range they integrate with each other to produce one overall system.

HSJ were responsible for the implementation of Sage 50 Accounts and Payroll.  Both products needed to have multi-company functionality and also run over a network environment. 

The installation of Sage 50 Construct was outsourced to Ledger Services with HSJ co-ordinating when installation and training was going to take place. 

HSJ then put together a training programme for the 5 accounts staff with a support framework to see the clients group of companies through a monumental transition.
