WHY DID YOU CHOOSE MYOB ACUMATICA

"We needed an accounting package with project management functionality to drill down to work breakdown structures to allow for granular budget analysis.

We also needed the capability to automate purchase order and approval processes, as all our operational processes were manual and all on paper."

— Felicity Meisel, Finance Manager at Delcon Group

THE SOLUTION

  • Definitiv Software for Payroll: Payroll data from Definitiv will be imported into MYOB Acumatica as Journals, enhancing the tracking of labour costs within individual projects, thereby improving visibility.

  • Custom Purchase Order Process: Purchase orders for various projects will undergo a customised approval process, with supplementary site-specific information attached as PDFs, such as site plans and delivery instructions, ensuring thorough communication with suppliers.

  • Introduce compliance to limits of authority and have structured authorisation processes. Implementation of structured authorisation processes, including multi-level approvals based on different levels of authority, ensures strict adherence to project commitments and compliance with limits of authority.
