TimeSheet Professional integrates with Sage 50 Accounts and also, for those with legacy systems, with Sage Job Costing.
GA Design International are interior architects with clients including Hyatt Hotels, the BBC and MTV and projects in London, Europe, the Middle East and Japan.
GA are long term and very happy users of Sage 50 Accounts, which they use with Sage Job Costing. Historically, staff entered time in spreadsheets that were forwarded to finance for posting. GA wanted to improve time recording efficiency, automate the posting of time costs and improve the range and flexibility of management reporting – precisely the functionality that DSA provide with their integrations with Sage 50 Accounts and also with Sage Job Costing.
Following meetings with Mike Edkins, IT Manager, and Shirish Jani, Financial Controller, Deepak Sareen Associates produced a proof of concept that met GA’s functional requirements and tight design brief for the interface. DSA were given the green light to implement for what was then 40 users.
Shirish said:- “DSA’s implementation of TimeSheet is providing us with more timely information and the broader range of reporting that we require. The automated posting is providing the efficiency gains that we were looking for. What used to take 2 to 3 days a month is now completed in minutes.
Mike added “DSA implemented the solution quickly and efficiently and continue to provide any support that we need. TimeSheet’s administrative overhead is minimal and more than compensated for by the savings made. Since implementing TimeSheet, all our 40 designers are completing their timesheets on time, without exception. The system really is providing all and more that we expected from it.” The implementation has now grown, in line with GA Design International’s business, to 100 users.
