Case Study: ProudNumbers helping to manage the financial department of a big engineering group.

The Problem

Sage 50 is a powerful accounting tool, but when it comes to reporting and formatting of the Excel output, it has its limitations. The lack of customisable functions means that running anything beyond the simplest of reports is impossible, and this means that more time is spent checking figures and manually number-crunching.

Graham Breckon first encountered ProudNumbers when he became Finance Director at ASCOFA , a highly regarded provider of multi-discipline services in a number of industries. The company was already taking advantage of the flexibility of the system, and Graham found instantly that the benefits that came with ProudNumbers had transformed the way financial and management reporting and analysis were conducted.

"ProudNumbers does something simple, but it does it very well.”

"It's so quick to use, intuitive and simple, so only one person is needed to run the system. I can take care of both the process and the quality control as well.

The productivity of ProudNumbers means I can spend my time focusing on the actual analysis of the numbers.”

Graham Breckon, ASCOFA Group

The Solution

ProudNumbers is a revolutionary multi-client system designed for users of Sage 50c. Designed and built by Hexner Limited, the aim of ProudNumbers is to provide finance directors with more control over their reporting and data analysis.

The ProudNumbers system also allows creating an additional Chart of Accounts (any number of it), that you as a user can easier analyse specific scenarios.

From a commercial perspective, the license fee does not depend on the number of companies, you, as a user of the system, are serving.

That means that new clients arriving through your practice door are served instantly, you've the option to help them to understand their business model and current situation in the times, which require a speedy decision based on the facts.

The development of the system was started in 2012 and despite releasing the first commercial version in late 2016, the system gained its popularity among their users since.

No system is alive without suppliers who you KNOW, LIKE, and TRUST. I've personally worked with many of them since the '90-s, so I know the quality of the work that these companies are delivering and their cultures.

Some of them are located in places as far as Montevideo and Kansas. There is one special company, which I would like to identify, as they deserve recognition for their work in the area of database drivers, and it is the company Devart.

The quality of our work is supported by the quality of our support, which is available 365 days in the year.

The only question you didn’t get the answer by us is the question which you as a user didn’t ask.
