Functions Finance + Purchasing
Keeping a firm grip on finance and purchasing is fundamental to the health and success of any organisation - every process and element can have a direct impact on the bottom line. Are you struggling to keep track of contracts, to maximise your assets or to comply with audit requirements?
Enable can come to the rescue with a suite of tailored software solutions that can tame and rationalise many aspects of the finance and purchasing functions. Whether you opt for our unique data management system or our bespoke development service, we are the experts at turning chaos into control.
Example processes for which Enable has provided solutions:
1
Contract Spend Management
Enable's software solutions can bridge the gap between Finance and Purchasing, simplifying the process of negotiating contracts and overriders with suppliers and customers.
Use our streamlined systems to claim retrospective performance-based benefits and manage rebate schemes rather than relying on spreadsheets. Build in tracker reports to flag up when payments are due. Track and monitor all documentation with buyers.
2
Purchase Requisitions
Many finance systems start at the point that an order is raised and do not provide the capability to track and manage the workflow and sign off process that preceeds this. Enable’s system starts with the initial raising of a purchase requisition and manages this process right through to having it signed off and a purchase ordering being generated. It also provides complete visibility across the organisation on the status of PO’s, giving operations teams useful insight without needing to grant them access to a specialist finance system.
3
Sales Analysis / Reporting
Extract data and provide reports in a meaningful format. Allow external suppliers and customers to log in to view sales/purchase data.
Example clients for which Enable has provided solutions:
1
NCP Services
NCP Services is a major operator in the management of car parks, as well as street enforcements and bus routes. Enable developed a tailored management system focusing on the requirements to reconcile cash collected with the audit tickets generated by parking machines.
2
Landmark
The Landmark Group was formed in 1972 to provide a centralised trading and marketing operation on behalf of Independent Wholesalers. Over the years, the group has grown steadily and, today, has a turnover of over £1.8 billion with members throughout the UK. Enable developed a bespoke software application to manage the process of managing member overrider payments. The calculations for determining the value of a member's payments are highly complex and significant time was invested in analysis work to document the business rules required.

DCS Europe plc
DCS is a leading distributor of health and beauty products in the UK. Using an existing Sage Line 100 system as our starting point, we developed a system incorporating online ordering, planning, merchandising design service and customer and supplier portals to allow authorised users to interrogate sales or purchase performance data on line.
