Egertons recover their business systems and transform their invoice processing with Sicon solutions for Sage 200

Egertons, one of the country's leading vehicle rescue and recovery operators, faced a pivotal challenge as their national service footprint expanded.

“The Sicon solutions have transformed our invoice processing. Once our staff were comfortable with the new interface it bedded it to our system quite quickly. The system is extremely reliable, the Document Automation training model enables the system to recognise key elements within our documents, meaning processing speed and accuracy is excellent.”  – Gavin Calthorpe, Group Commercial Director – Egertons 

What needed to change?

With subcontracted jobs on the rise and purchase invoice volumes climbing to nearly 5,000 per month, their manual processes were no longer sustainable. Printed invoices were overwhelming the accounts department and causing delays as documents circulated inefficiently across multiple teams for approval. It was clear that they needed a smarter, more scalable approach to streamline their accounts payable operations.
