Challenge
“We were looking for more efficient way to manage accounting journals”
Challenged by rapid business growth, healthcare company Attendo Sweden was looking for more efficient process to manage accounting journals. Previously every journal document was printed and stored in physical archive, but with growing amount of transactions and journals this approach was no longer an option.
The rapid business growth as well as high company focus on quality in every step of business operation demanded modernisation and efficiency of finance processes. “We needed proper tools to be able to manage the flow of incoming companies to our group”, says Judith Pettersson, responsible for undertaking the task of modernising finance in the company.
“Having 60 people in the company processing around 34 000 journals per year in three markets, one of our aims was to have an easy system where we do not print any journals.” With this level of work scale manual journals can be very time-consuming and the process is prone to errors.
Solution
“We started saving time right after implementing Aico system”
“We were looking for a modern solution on the market and decided to go for a tool which had proven impact and real value. We saw benefits that Aico solution for journal entries brought to our subsidiary company in Finland. There our colleagues started to save time managing journals right after implementing the Aico system.”
“We were able to implement Aico on time and seamlessly integrate it with our ERP system Visma. Despite some English language adoption challenges in the Swedish speaking team, we transformed our journal process in the company and now we save a lot of time by not having to print our journals. Instead we save all our journals electronically.“
“We absolutely recommend Aico. It has saved us a lot of time.”
