By integrating Sage with third-party solutions like GoCardless, and revolutionising its financial processes, Purple Creative has more time to grow.
Creative agency, Purple Creative is a small team, managing multiple projects and clients. MD Phil Upton spent too much time on admin, checking spreadsheets, and chasing payments while trying to develop and run the business.
Purple’s financial data was input manually, without any real-time visibility. It needed an online payments manager that was easy for clients to use.
Sage, integrated with third-party solutions, improved its payments process, automating raising invoices with a “pay now” button for faster payments, and a direct debit option that allowed it to be paid regularly and on time. This saved admin time as payments are matched to invoices and reconciled automatically for peace of mind.
On switching to Sage, Amanda says, "Customers are familiar with this accounting package and we can send accessible reports to them if required. The time spent on managing the 'bookkeeping' has been reduced."
Phil enjoys full visibility of cashflow now, saying of the move, “Sage absolutely ticks all of the boxes of anything we've ever needed for our accounting practices.”
