130 user Sage TimeSheet with Sage Line 100

Independent since 1999, British Power International's roots go back to 1979 as the international arm of the UK's electricity industry, exporting expertise worldwide. Their capability is the technical, commercial and strategic aspects of the production, supply and distribution of power, operating in the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Successful Sage Line 100 users, BPI needed to develop their systems to provide the efficiencies and immediacy of information that their growth demanded.

The requirements included:-

• Improving the speed and accuracy of time and expense capture over the existing spreadsheet-based systems.
• Automating the production and posting of invoices with detailed backing sheets for time and expense based jobs.
• Automating the posting of time costs and expenses to Job cost centres.
• Automating the calculation and posting of monthly work in progress journals.

BPI are saving 4 days a month posting time entries, another 2 days posting expense entries and 1 day calculating and posting Work-in-Progress. In addition to these efficiency gains they have far better management information available immediately.

Matt Adams, BPI Project Manager, said:- "Deepak Sareen Associates have worked with us to provide a solution that works exactly to brief and does all that we asked of it. TimeSheet's structured and ad hoc reporting provides us with the information that we need to manage the business more effectively"

The initial implementation of 80 has expanded to 130 users in a year, helping BPI's rapid growth path.
