Company Overview
Since 1935, National Electrical Wholesaler (NEW) has been Ireland’s leading provider of top-quality electrical equipment and innovative solutions. As the largest independent wholesaler in the country, NEW is the trusted partner for major infrastructure projects. With 25 branches across Ireland and Coventry in the UK, NEW faced significant challenges in managing invoices, approvals, and documentation efficiently. They needed a solution that could centralise AP processes, reduce manual handling, and provide clear visibility across all locations.
They found their answer in Enterprise Imaging Systems’ TraX solution, a platform built to bring structure, automation, and full visibility to finance teams — with seamless integration into IQ to enhance workflow connectivity.
We spoke with Angela Cummins (Group Finance Manager) at NEW, to learn about their experience before and after implementing TraX.
Before moving to EIS TraX and Intact IQ, NEW faced challenges that are familiar to most electrical wholesalers:
Angela explained: “Before, if we needed to find a delivery docket, invoice or goods-in note, it meant physically searching through paper files. Now, everything is linked and indexed in the system, with a clear audit trail.”
With hundreds of invoices flowing through 25 branches weekly, manual processes weren’t just slow — they introduced risk, delayed approvals, and made auditing cumbersome.
In April 2021, NEW implemented EIS TraX for Accounts Payable Automation, fully integrated with Intact iQ.
Key features include:
“TraX is now integral to our business. Every invoice, PO, and goods receipt flows through it. We can instantly find any document, see its approval status, and track its history — no more hunting through filing cabinets or relying on spreadsheets.”
TraX facilitates two way seamless integration with Intact iQ to provide enhanced visibility and workflow efficiency:
✅ Invoice PDFs linked directly to purchase orders and related records in iQ
✅ Staff can access TraX within the Intact iQ system
✅ Complete visibility of all transactions and linked documents
“TraX gives us control, traceability, and confidence. We know every invoice and related documented is accounted for, and linked meaning it is auditable in seconds — which is huge across 25 branches.”
Angela also highlighted the advantage with complex international invoices, particularly from international suppliers:
“With invoices that come with multiple linked documents — packing lists, delivery notes, customs docs — TraX allows us to verify everything quickly and accurately. That means we can approve and pay invoices faster, and often take advantage of early payment discounts. It’s a real financial benefit, not just an operational one.”
✅ Full Approval Visibility
“All approvals are tracked, timestamped, and recorded providing the team with real-time visibility of the accounts payable cycle.”
✅ Time Savings Across the Board
“Instead of staff printing, scanning, or chasing emails, TraX handles it all. It’s dramatically reduced the back-and-forth and frees up the team to focus on value-added work.”
✅ Instant Document Access
“Whether it’s a delivery docket, invoice, or goods-in note, it’s just a few clicks to view the entire history. For audit or management queries, we’re ready instantly.”
✅ Scalable Across Multiple Locations
“With 25 branches, consistency and visibility are key. TraX makes it easy to ensure the same processes are followed everywhere.”
✅ Local Team, Maximum Support
“I’ve been dealing with Enterprise Imaging for nearly 20 years. The support team is brilliant –the team are always responsive, and the level of knowledge and experience they bring is second to none.’
For NEW, TraX wasn’t just an upgrade to AP — it was a complete transformation. Manual paper chasing is gone, approvals are faster, visibility is complete, and audit readiness is automatic.
“TraX has become an integral part of how we operate. If you’re still managing invoices manually or across multiple locations, this system will change everything — from efficiency to audit confidence.”
