Blue Lemon Safety and Training (BEST) streamlines payroll and HR to scale and grow

BEST Blue Lemon Safety & Training - United Kingdom

BEST, an operational-health, safety and environmental support business, uses Sage Payroll to seamlessly scale for growth.

Keep up with growth and better-manage lost payments

BEST grew from 1 to 300 registered customers, and its system had to scale rapidly. The old system couldn’t cope with organizing payments, which would take 7-8 days to complete, leaving budget uncertainty and accounting inaccuracies. Sage Payroll offers payroll and HR integration and faster reporting, eliminating delays and errors.

As we got bigger, we started to get more diverse we went from 1 customer to set up on our system to 300, and we started to lose track of payments and it became very, very cumbersome.

Founder and Managing Director, BEST

Faster payments, better service

With no chargebacks (5% ceiling), it could migrate to Sage Payroll, which was significantly faster. BEST was able to see an immediate difference. It also received detailed support throughout migration, with step-by-step fixes for previous VAT mistakes made via its previous accounting system. This gave BEST more organised accounting and an up-to-date payroll.

It could offer us customer support that was life support, the fact that it had a system that integrated the HR heart of it with the actual accounts for payroll.

HR, Food Hygiene and Safety Manager, BEST

Supported growth, organized payroll

Using Sage Payroll gave BEST the ability to change what was fundamentally difficult, into a business that could not only run smoothly automatically but could provide more information with improved reporting and insight and allow it to “get it right first time."

BEST can continue to grow, fully supported with organised accounting, payroll and HR, and Sage Payroll’s in-depth customer service.

Sage has really aided the growth of our company. It's saved us so much money.
