CUSTOMER STORY: Codel International Ltd

SAP Business One saves time & time is money – for one Accountant it simply adds up!

It’s the user friendly interface and traceability which makes Lynn Jones, an Accountant from Codel, value SAP Business One above other systems.

Working for a small but busy manufacturing company, which deals with global orders, for over a year, Lynn has just gone through her first audit and thanks to SAP Business One it was the smoothest audit she’s been involved with.

“The system is so easy to use and enabled me to gather all the information I needed in a much shorter timescale!”

“I’ve never had an audit that has been so efficient, I’ve worked with other systems before but SAP Business One really is a breath of fresh air. The ability to find documents for an audit and the ease in which you can trace which document goes with which order and payment is fantastic. The way the modules are all set up makes navigation easy and being an accountant its time saving efficiency adds up for me.

“I particularly like how SAP Business One interlinks between systems and documents and how easy it is to have multiple documents open at once.”

Codel have been a customer of Chesterfield based Ochiba Business Solutions, a growing technology business who are SAP Business One experts, providing software implementation and after sales service and support, for seven years.

“While Codel have been long term customers of Ochiba, both the company and the software are new to me and I have to say I am impressed. The team are great and they are an extremely helpful company to work with. SAP Business One is a fantastic system and does so much more than any of the other systems I’ve worked with. Ochiba’s online service portal for logging requests is such a handy tool and the Ochiba team are so quick to respond.

“For me, another handy benefit of SAP Business One is that is allows you to set levels of authorisation so that you can ensure that people can only see and alter the areas of the system and data they have been given clearance to access.

“I’ve already recommended SAP Business One and Ochiba to other accountants via the Association of Accounting Technicians and am happy to recommend the system again. As an accountant, any system that takes the pain away is invaluable,” added Lynn
