Five Go Live (FGL) is committed to working with our clients to ensure that they achieve ongoing efficiencies from their IT related investments and from their Sage Financial Administration and Management Reporting software (ERP).

During a recent account management review meeting to discuss business processes with Matt Miller - Financial Controller of Edinburgh House Estates, FGL recommended that they consider implementing elements of Version One’s software range: DbForms, DbMail and DbBacs. Version One’s DbBacs is a tool that FGL considers would greatly assist Edinburgh House Estates with the automation of their payment processes by using BACS to send out their payments while using DbForms to create a meaningful and clear remittance advice to their suppliers, to let them know what they were being paid and when.

Edinburgh House Estates agreed with our recommendations and together we installed Version One’s software as an integrated part of the Sage Line 500 Accounting software FGL has provided, implemented and supports. DbForms now produces aesthetically appealing documents and when combined with Version One’s DbMail module automatically emails these documents to Edinburgh House Estates suppliers when they are paid.

This new workflow related process will greatly reduce Edinburgh House Estates costs in stationery and postage, saving valuable time for those previously involved in the labourious printing, collating and posting processes of such documents to suppliers. This approach works very effectively with the BACS payments and the same process can easily be applied to achieve similar efficiencies in the invoicing and statement aspects of their activities as a future phase.
