Testimonial from Valérie Texier, Executive Assistant at Solutions Productives
Founded in 1991, Solutions Productives is a consulting firm specializing in supporting businesses. With four offices located in Rennes, Nantes, Paris, and Nîmes, the company employs 27 people and generated revenue of 1.9 million euros in 2016.
Solutions Productives has been using VSActivity since 2013 and has transformed its business management, moving from Excel spreadsheets and Word documents to a comprehensive and high-performance ERP system.
A need for flexibility and responsiveness
Before implementing an ERP system, Solutions Productives managed its operations using tools that were ill-suited to the company’s growth. Consultants tracked their time in Excel spreadsheets, documents were shared via Google Drive, and production tracking was becoming increasingly complex. It was difficult to track time allocation, which slowed down the billing process.
For Valérie Texier, co-manager of the firm, the situation was no longer sustainable:
“We were looking for an ERP system that runs on Mac and can reduce the time between production and the analysis of that production, in order to speed up the billing process.”
The company needed a centralized solution to simplify management and improve responsiveness.
Choosing VSActivity: A Custom Solution
After reviewing several options, Solutions Productives chose VSActivity, an ERP system developed by Veryswing.
“We were impressed byhow attentively the Veryswing team listened to us; they took our specific work processes into account when implementing the ERP system, while integrating our existing tools,” explains Valérie.
The rollout was quick and efficient. The tool is now used by all Solutions Productives employees, each of whom uses the software in their own way:
-
Consultants track their time and write their activity reports (CRA).
-
Project managers handle day-to-day operational matters.
-
Sales representatives use the CRM integrated with vsa for lead generation.
-
The administrative departments handle billing and payroll processing.
-
Management monitors operations using the detailed reports generated by the ERP system.
Tangible benefits: increased productivity and reliability
The adoption of VSActivity has brought tangible benefits to Solutions Productives.
“Thanks to VSActivity, we’ve become more productive: we invoice faster, the data is more reliable, follow-ups are easier to manage, and preparing the year-end financial statements is simpler,” concludes Valérie.
The ERP system has enabled the company to refocus on its core business andoptimize its internal processes.
