Testimonial from Franck Seimann, President of Sistema Strategy
Founded in 2003, Sistema Strategy is a consulting firm with offices in Paris, Lyon, and Lausanne. With a team of 30 employees, the company supports its clients in their strategic and operational projects.
In search of a high-performance management tool, she chose VSActivity in January 2017 after trying out several other solutions.
A Need for Agility and Efficiency
Initially, Sistema Strategy relied on an in-house tool to manage its operations.
Although it covered all the necessary features, this outdated solution lacked flexibility and required a great deal of data re-entry. For example, it was not possible to enter activity reports directly into the tool, which hindered the teams’ efficiency.
Subsequently, the company attempted to adopt a competing solution. However, this solution proved to have limitations, particularly in terms of reporting, a key element for monitoring and optimizing the company’s operations.
Upon reaching the end of its three-year contract with this solution, Sistema Strategy decided to migrate to VSActivity, attracted by its rich feature set and user-friendly interface.
VSActivity: Rapid Deployment and Immediate Adoption
The implementation of VSA took less than three months, and a single day of training was all it took for the teams to get the hang of the tool.
All employees— consultants, administrative staff, human resources, and management—now use it on a daily basis.
“The VSActivity interface is intuitive, and our employees can start using it right away,” explains Franck Seimann.
“They appreciate finally having a modern tool, especially thanks to the solution’s mobile capabilities—whether accessed via the web or a smartphone—which are very easy to use.”
Audrey Fougerouse, administrative assistant, confirms:
“Unlike the competing solution, VSActivity is easy to use and has an intuitive interface. The features are perfectly suited to our line of business as a consulting firm without requiring any specific development.
On a day-to-day basis, I save a considerable amount of time managing time-and-materials projects, thanks, for example, to the ability to duplicate projects, and I’m able to bill within the first two days of the month.”
She also adds:
“The Veryswing support team is great! Their responsiveness is impressive.”
Tangible and measurable benefits
A few months after the implementation of VSActivity, Franck Seimann offers a very positive initial assessment:
“VSActivity allows us to generate highly accurate production reports to track our operations. We can plan ahead and respond quickly if a problem arises.”
In addition to improved management, the company has seen a direct impact on its profitability.
” Billing, which used to take place between the 7th and 10th of the month with our in-house solution, and then between the 5th and 7th of the month with the competitor’s tool, is now completed between the 1st and 3rd of the month thanks to VSActivity.”
Finally, the financial aspect also played a role in the decision.
” We’re saving about 40% on the annual budget for this solution compared to the competing solution we were using.”
“With VSActivity, we only pay for what we use, and there’s no long-term commitment. We’re free to adjust the number of licenses to match the actual number of users. This subscription model is more flexible and fairer, and it truly reflects our business.”
Thanks to vsa, Sistema Strategy now has an ERP system tailored to its needs, enabling it to improve its management, optimize its billing, and increase its profitability while maintaining a high degree of flexibility.
