One of Wexford’s largest employers has just gone live with Spreadsheet Server, a product from Cashbook Ltd in joint partnership with Global Software Inc. ABS Production Wexford currently boasts some 250 plus staff at their manufacturing site in Whitemill Industrial Estate. The company specialises in the manufacture of pumps for dewatering and wastewater technology solutions worldwide.
ABS is the first ERP BPCS ™ company in Ireland to adopt the Spreadsheet Server tool that enables real-time access to your General Ledger directly from Microsoft® Excel. ABS has always strived to push forward in all areas of their business, and the Finance team headed by Kathleen Bolger proves to be no different.
"We worked with Harry Hughes at SAI to implement Spreadsheet Server to improve the efficiency of financial information distributed throughout the Company. Ontime, real-time, financial information direct from BPCS makes my finance department's job a whole lot easier. Needless to say Spreadsheet Server is far more flexible and user friendly than FRW!"
What is Spreadsheet Server?
Spreadsheet Server is a powerful Excel add-in which enables the export of real-time data from your General Ledger directly into Excel spreadsheets, and facilitates complete drill-down to all details. The user has total control and ultimate flexibility to design real-time reports using only Excel features and functions. Summary balances and all levels of detail can be retrieved and manipulated in Excel. The simple click of a refresh button will provide a live update of the information.
Better financial analyses means better decisions and reduced finance costs. The return on investment will be specific to your business but not having a functionally rich financial analytical tool increases the time spent on creating reports for your CEO or Board of Directors. Not forgetting the onus on the IT department to download, stage or warehouse the financial data…a process eliminated with Spreadsheet Server.
