Testimonial from Julia BESSON, Director of Human Resources at Acaly.
Founded in 2014, Acaly is an industrial engineering consulting firm based in Lille, with offices in Lyon, Nantes, and Brussels. The company assists its clients with specific technical or organizational challenges by deploying engineers directly into the heart of their operations to ensure the efficient completion of projects.
An ERP system to centralize the processes of an engineering consulting firm
From its inception, Acaly has experienced steady growth. This rapid expansion has highlighted major organizational challenges, including the need to centralize its processes and ensure consistent management of operations across multiple geographic locations.
It was in this context that Acaly decided to implement an ERP system to assist with its administrative management. The goal was to find a tool that was flexible, scalable, and specifically tailored to the needs of engineering consulting firms.
After a thorough evaluation, Acaly chose VSActivity, which stood out for its ability to integrate all of the company’s processes, from human resources management to billing and project tracking.
The integration of vsa into Acaly went smoothly. The teams particularly appreciatedthe personalized support provided by Veryswing, which allowed the tool to be quickly adapted to the company’s specific needs. Employee training was made easier by vsa’sintuitive user interface, making its adoption natural and effective.
VSActivity: A Tool That Transforms Day-to-Day Operations at Acaly
Every morning, one of the first things Julia Besson, Acaly’s HR Director, does is open vsa. This tool has become a true cornerstone of the company’s internal operations, particularly for human resources and business management. Thanks to a personalized access system for each employee, the platform allows everyone to interact with the information relevant to them, without unnecessary complexity.
Admittedly, some initial setup is required, but once it’s in place, the tool is a game-changer. Employee management becomes more streamlined, administrative tasks are automated, and all HR processes are centralized on a single interface. In other words, vsa reduces the workload and optimizes team efficiency.
A scalable platform that adapts to the needs of businesses
One of vsa’s greatest strengths lies in its collaborative and evolving approach. The Veryswing teams are particularly attentive to user feedback, allowing companies like Acaly to voice new needs and influence future software developments.
“What’s really great is that we can suggest improvements, which are then shared with all vsa customers. If a suggestion interests us, we can vote to have it implemented. This gives us the feeling that we have a tool that’s truly tailored to our realities and our business needs.”
This flexibility allows Acaly to continually adapt the tool to its internal processes and to evolve with a solution that remains aligned with its challenges.
A collaborative tool that connects all business functions
VSActivity is more than just an ERP system: it fosters seamless collaboration among the company’s various departments. At Acaly, the Human Resources, Sales, Recruitment, and Finance teams work in a single shared space, which eliminates duplicate data entry and prevents data fragmentation.
“Before, we had to re-enter certain information into multiple systems, which was a waste of time and a source of errors. With vsa, all of the company’s functions are interconnected, which saves us valuable time every day.”
Thanks to this interoperability, each department can focus on its core mission without being held back by unnecessary administrative burdens.
Intuitive software that’s accessible to everyone
Finally, vsa’s user-friendliness is one of its strengths. Unlike other complex solutions that require extensive training, vsa stands out for its intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
“I discovered this tool when I joined Acaly in 2019, and I don’t regret it! It was easy to get started, and now I couldn’t do without it.”
VSActivity has therefore become an essential solution for Acaly, enabling the company not only to optimize day-to-day operations but also to strengthen collaboration and support the company’s growth.
