Woolcock Group

The Woolcock Group is a large organisation with entities across numerous industries. They needed a way to view the data of the whole group from one place. MYOB Advanced provided the single source of truth that they required.

Who are the Woolcock Group?

Founded in 1978, the Woolcock Group have grown to employ over 70 staff across multiple diverse entities. The Woolcock group has become quite complex, from WineWorks Australia to Woolcock Construction and several other commercial property management entities.

What catalysed the switch to MYOB Advanced?

Their current system, MYOB Premier, lacked some of the more powerful functions in ERP systems. The Woolcock Group were limited by their reporting capabilities. They struggled to get the best picture of their data across or within entities. Payroll reporting could not be separated into pay categories. As a result, interstate payroll tax and WorkCover payments were difficult to calculate and reconcile. However, the Woolcock Group knew that MYOB makes software for more than just small companies. They chose MYOB Advanced as their MYOB Enterprise software for the future.

What changes followed the decision?

Due to operating across several sites, the Woolcock Group needed a solution allowing them to work remotely. As a cloud-based platform, MYOB Advanced gave them this flexibility and the power they were missing from their old system. Since the implementation, the team has streamlined several processes and saved significant time. MYOB Advanced Construction is built specifically to improve efficiency in the construction industry. It gives you complete visibility over your operations, from costing to time management, compliance, and more.

How are they now?

The Woolcock Group have embraced MYOB Advanced and the extra reporting capability it allows. Their profit and loss reports compare data against subaccounts and eliminate the need to export data to Excel. They enjoy the way that they can build reports and save customised versions across all users. They feel that they have implemented a long-term solution. MYOB Advanced meets their needs now and gives the Woolcock Group room to grow in the future.

How do I achieve a successful MYOB Advanced implementation?

A successful MYOB Advanced Implementation depends on 3 critical risk:

1. Software Risk
2. Implementer risk
3. Self-Inflicted Risk

You can reduce your risk by selecting the right implementation partner. Although there are many different partners to choose from, you need the one that will work with you every step of the way. Managing risk is an important part of an implementation; selecting a low-risk partner is critical to a lifetime of success with your Business Management system.
