Tyne Chease save 14 hours a week with Sage Copilot

As pioneers of artisanal vegan cheese in the UK, Tyne Chease built their reputation on naturally fermented, cashew-based cheeses. But running a small food business meant every hour counted, and admin was taking over. Chasing late invoices became the biggest time drain, with payments often up to a week late. Cash flow suffered and paperwork piled up, leaving little space to focus on growth. They even had to turn down supermarkets because they couldn’t deliver at scale while buried in admin.

With Sage Copilot, Tyne Chease now receive invoices up to 7 days faster and save 12–14 hours each week—time that was vital in helping them pass their first audit and lay the groundwork for reaching supermarket shelves. The efficiencies have also allowed the team to cut retail prices by 30–50p, making their cheeses more accessible while keeping quality and integrity at the heart of the brand. Now they’ve been able to position themselves for opportunities they once had to decline.
