A property management client reliant on desktop accounting and property management software that wasn’t integrated with other systems approached us for support. The business spent a significant amount of time on manual processes and duplicate data entry. They were unable to manage their properties effectively, monitor cash flow or gain easy access to the financial information needed to run the business and meet bank covenant requirements.

How we can help you

We began by facilitating discovery workshops to review the existing legacy desktop applications and discuss the key challenges and requirements for the new system

Xero and Receipt Bank were identified as the right tools to enable automation and reduce manual data entry. Implementing these applications and providing training meant the client were able to process the data more efficiently and complete the reconciliations across the group in a timely manner

We project managed the implementation of the ‘Released’ application to effectively automate the property portfolio. We also conducted a review of cash flow requirements and consolidated reporting. The client was able to provide the better insights for the business in respect of its financial position.

The aftercare support provided included heath checks on the updated systems, additional training and preparing and tracking action plans. This was done working alongside the client to ensure they got the required results.
