Octet Finance
The highly specialised financial services company reaps the benefits of MYOB AdvancedMYOB Advanced has supported Octet Finance with its multi-company and multi-currency needs. They had previously been held back by a system that could not handle the complexity of their business and were spending a significant amount of time manually working with their data.
Who is Octet Finance?
Octet Finance is a financial services company specialising in loaning working capital to small and medium enterprises. They offer a Receivable Finance service. This covers a proportion of their client’s invoices while they wait for customer payment. Octet enables its clients to purchase from suppliers worldwide and in multiple currencies.
What catalysed the switch?
Octet faced consolidation challenges with multiple operating companies across different regions and currencies. Their previous system could produce high-level financial statement analysis. However, it could not capture more detailed segmentation across its customers, products, and sales team. Reconciliations were becoming a significant problem for their outsourced accounting team. Octet could not get the depth of detailed reporting and analysis they required.
What changes followed the decision?
Octet brought its financial management in-house and gave it an integrated ERP system, including a full accounting package. MYOB Advanced worked for them straight away, supporting their multi-company, multi-currency needs. Their old system was also connected to MYOB Advanced via an API. This saved on having to manually upload old data into their new system.
How are they now?
MYOB Advanced gives Octect real-time visibility across the whole business. It has helped to support their forecasting and give stronger incentive programmes to the team. Everyone can have real-time visibility into their performance, regardless of their operating location. Octet is seeing a reduction in paper-based processing thanks to MYOB Advanced. They target becoming completely paper-free in the near future.
