Manual invoices, many errors

Global Finance Director, Lucy Build, needed to increase confidence in Dazed’s finances.

The finance team were manually processing high volumes of invoices leading to errors. The team did not have time to focus on more strategic work.

Lucy needed an efficient system, reducing manual data entry and giving senior leaders deeper insight with financial confidence.

Having a team where two people at any point were manually entering data just felt like such a waste of time

Technology grows confidence

Implementation partners, PwC, aligned the end-goals with new technology on offer. AP Automation, Sage Intelligent Time, and Sage Intacct Ai improved vendor recognition, reducing the need for manual data entry, errors, and disjointed reporting.

Dazed is clear sighted

Now, Lucy and her team are focused on the next level of capability.

Lucy is exploring early access to Sage Intacct Copilot, its natural language interface for financial data. 

The team hope to save close to another day per week by flagging anomalies in real time rather than surfacing them at month-end review, giving them even more financial confidence.

We just know that we've got real time data on the system all of the time.
