H&H Reeds saves time and reduces cost with custom integration

H&H Group discovered a software product called PaperLess Europe, which is aimed at accounting departments that want to save time and reduce the costs of managing business documents throughout the organization. The software works by automatically scanning, digitizing, and attaching invoices to their accounts package. 

Before H&H Group introduced them, Tharstern and PaperLess Europe had never worked together, so the two software providers set about working on a new integration that allowed purchase orders to be checked against the invoice amount and then posted onto Sage, along with the attached document.   

Roger Blake, Group Financial Accountant at H&H Group, had the whole team involved in the implementation, “I wanted those who would be using it on a day-to-day basis to be fully involved and part of the assessment process for which software we would choose.” 

The company has worked hard to create an engaged culture that embraces change, and they saw this investment pay off when it came to the implementation of PaperLess Europe and the integration with Tharstern. The process went very smoothly and H&H saw only positive impacts from the implementation, “This was quite a project for us - some people have been working in purchase ledger for 20 years, so moving from paper to automated technology was a huge step. But we’ve done it!” 

Employees are now able to focus on more added value work rather than repetitive data entry, and have more time to “buy smarter”.
