Marsden Maritime

Marsden Maritime had data across several areas of the company stored in a very niche and unique software. MYOB Advanced brought this data together and gave them a robust and future-proof solution for the growth of the business.

Who is Marsden Maritime?

Marsden Maritime is a complex company that oversees a range of facilities. It manages tenants on their industrial land, runs a share-milking operation on its farmland, and operates a marina precinct. They used a custom-built software that only one person in New Zealand properly knew how to use.

What catalysed the switch to MYOB Advanced?

Marsden Maritime implemented MYOB Advanced contribute to its growth rather than holding it back. Report writing was limited in their old system and required manual work in Excel to produce anything customised or detailed. MYOB Advanced was the robust financial system that could improve reporting writing for Marsden Maritime.

Marsden Maritime’s Trusted Implementation partner

Kilimanjaro Consulting is ANZ’s largest, most experienced, and most skilled team. When Marsden Maritime decided to implement MYOB Advanced, they chose Kilimanjaro Consulting as their partner of choice. We worked to understand Marsden Maritime’s workflows and customise the software to meet their specific needs.   We follow a structured implementation methodology, and combined with the skills, knowledge and support of our team; we are able to guide you through the implementation process. At Kilimanjaro Consulting, we pride ourselves on being technology Sherpas, focused on building long-term relationships with clients and maintaining that partnership as their business grows.

What changes followed the decision?

The cloud-based functionality of MYOB Advanced allowed Marsden to save on the large cost of server maintenance while also future-proofing the company. Real-time tracking of Marsden’s project costs has made processing large developments faster and easier. Invoices go straight into the system to have timely information to make better costing decisions.

How are they now?

Marsden has enjoyed the flexibility that MYOB Advanced brings their business. They save approximately two working days a month in preparing reports and have found a lot more oversight due to better access to information. The integrated systems of MYOB Advanced have simplified the management of all aspects of the business, from inventory to payroll and managing tenants’ rent payments. They do not have to pull in information from many different sources; it is all there in MYOB Advanced.

This implementation was completed before Enprise Solutions and Kilimanjaro Consulting merged. The original implementation team was, at that time, a part of Enprise Solutions. After the merger, Kilimanjaro Consulting has become the largest and most experienced implementer of MYOB’s Enterprise Solutions across Australia and New Zealand. The Kilimanjaro Consulting team continues to support Marsden Maritime to improve efficiency with the clever use of innovative and proven technology.
