1. Case Studies

1.1. Multi Product | The Bennie Group

The Bennie Group step up their business processes with Sage 200 and Sicon.

“The add-ons that Sicon provide have really helped refine and ensure we’re not adding lots of headcount, adding lots of process. We’re able to use the power of the software to run and enhance what our finance team to do for the business.”

Matthew Ayres, Group MD of The Bennie Group

With nine trading businesses across the group, moving to a centralised accounting package was a high priority. Through implementing Sage 200, Paradise Computing were able to provide the centralised accounting package The Bennie Group were looking for. This was further enhanced with the introduction of Sicon products and the combination of these resulted in quicker production of accounts, a reduction in manual processing and a more accurate, real-time view of their business.

Sicon additions for Sage 200 provided a range of benefits for The Bennie Group:

Sicon Construction | Providing a real-time understanding of project costs and the invoicing that’s required for the industry alongside it.

Second Chance Ltd drive their warehouse team to improve workflows and move away from paper based processes with Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing

“With Sicon in place we have a greater understanding of our data, which we didn’t have before. Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing has changed the way we work and provided new ways for us to build up newfound data. Sicon has empowered our warehouse team to improve their workflows and allowed us to go from paper based sheets to working from the handhelds.

The Sicon solution has provided our sales team with up to date, real-time information from Sage 200, so they can be confident in the stock position when selling. This has led to improved customer service as previously we could not easily see what stock was available.”

Chris Preston, Second Chance Ltd

Moving away from a paper based solution was a high priority for Second Chance, along with being able to manage complex product types and specific stock control requirements. They needed to find a product that integrated with their existing Sage 200 platform and our Barcoding & Warehousing addition for Sage 200 was the perfect solution; providing them with a real-time understanding of stock and order processing procedures, whilst significantly reducing manual processing and paper based storage.

1.5. Sicon Intercompany | Elysium Healthcare

Sicon Intercompany helps facilitate a new Trading solution for Elysium Healthcare

“The Sicon solution is very neat, especially when you consider it combines Approvals, Intercompany and Document Invoice Automation to create the overall solution.

Data accuracy has already improved significantly as keying errors are almost reduced to zero due to the accuracy of the document image extraction solution. The interface provided by Sicon to download and then process these invoices within Sage 200 is intuitive to use and clearly shows invoices ready to process and those that ‘require attention’ due to missing details such as order numbers or that no goods received notes have been confirmed.

Combined with the Trading Company creation and the Sicon Intercompany real time postings we have a very efficient solution on our hands.”

– Malcolm Caokley, Elysium Healthcare
