Background
Youngs Timber & Builders Merchant are a leading UK business specialising in the supply of timber & building supplies to the Kent region for over 80 years. Debbie Elliott from the purchase ledger team recently shared her experience before and after the implementation of the Enterprise Imaging Systems’ TraX eDMS solution.
The decision to switch to TraX wasn’t made lightly and Debbie was hesitant when the decision was made as she did fear that the proclaimed benefits wouldn’t materialise. Despite these reservations, the team decided with the TraX implementation. To their pleasant surprise, TraX immediately proved its worth. It seamlessly integrated into their workflow, delivering immediate benefits and transforming the way invoices were managed.
“It worked from day one and immediately added value.”
One of the most significant improvements TraX brought was the automation of the invoice processing. Previously, they grappled with the tedious task of manually matching delivery notes to invoices, sourcing and entering invoices, matching to transaction data and posting.
“It’s eliminated all of that manual data entry which is brilliant. Now I can rigorously check the anomalies and focus on more productive tasks which also makes the job more engaging.”
With TraX, this cumbersome process has become a thing of the past with all invoices scanned or uploaded directly into TraX, checked against the related transaction in Intact, flagged for checking or immediately posted for payment. The system’s intuitive interface and user-friendly features, such as the ability to view document images directly within the platform, further enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
“Before TraX if there was an issue and you needed a document, I would have to ring up the branch and ask them for the delivery note as they only sent delivery notes over in paper format at the end of the week. I then had to sit and sort through all of these paper copies and match the delivery noted to the invoices. It was very time consuming. Now the delivery notes are automatically scanned in at the three sites, they are linked to the transaction in Intact and then the related invoice and I have immediate access to view all the related paperwork online in our TraX system. It’s just so much more efficient.”
The implementation of TraX was remarkably smooth, with minimal disruption to daily operations. The Enterprise Imaging Systems team provided invaluable support throughout the process, offering comprehensive training and guidance every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication ensured a seamless transition to the new system, allowing Debbie and the entire team to quickly reap the benefits of TraX.
“The team were just absolutely brilliant and our consultant, Bill Brush, couldn’t help us enough.”
“My job would be so much more laborious and tedious without it.”
Two years since its implementation, TraX has fundamentally transformed finance operations at Youngs Timber and Builders Merchants. Their processes are now more efficient, accurate, and streamlined, enabling them to manage tasks with confidence and ease. They wholeheartedly endorse TraX to any organisation seeking to optimise their document management and finance processes. It’s not just a solution; it’s a game-changer.
