Sage Construction's Sage ERP EVision brings industry-specific functionality to help enhance business performance

Vital Energi logoSage Construction today announced that Vital Energi, the leading innovator in efficient energy provision, has chosen its contract management solution Sage ERP EVision to help drive business insight, increase operational efficiency and promote organisational growth. Incorporating project management, KPI data, financial management and reporting into a single integrated solution, Sage ERP EVision will give Vital Energi unprecedented visibility of core contract data and enable the company to make more strategic decisions based on accurate and timely information.

Vital Energi, which designed and installed the heating and power solutions for MediaCityUK in Manchester’s Salford Quays, works alongside key industry decision makers and trade bodies to play a role in the development of energy policy and legislation. Prior to investing in Sage ERP EVision, the company relied solely on Microsoft NAV version 4 financial modules and a series of spreadsheets to manage its contracts. Sage ERP EVision, which has Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 at its core, has deep integration across applications such as Microsoft Office for Word and Excel, Outlook for Mail, Tasks, Calendar and SharePoint for ease of deployment. It is easy to adapt and grow by adding users, functionality, custom applications and business capabilities, which means the software can grow with a business over time.

Stewart McKechnie, Finance Director at Vital Energi said: “We have chosen Sage ERP EVision for its scaleability and flexibility to assist Vital Energi as we embark on our strategy of growing our turnover fivefold within the next 5 years. Once Sage ERP EVision is fully implemented and operational our working practices will become much more efficient and the days of agonising over spreadsheets will be a thing of the past. Sage’s expertise within the Housebuilding and Construction sectors meant they could offer us a system that was not only intuitive and geared towards our industry requirements, but that gives our staff access to the information that is most relevant to them. By capturing information from across the business and storing it all in one place, Sage ERP EVision will enable us to build a clear picture of how projects are operating, which in turn will drive business performance and foster growth.”

“As we begin to emerge from recession, it’s critical that companies in the construction sector are able to collaborate, communicate and make confident decisions based on information that counts for them,” explained Wes Simmons, General Manager, Sage Construction. “We are delighted that Vital Energi has selected Sage ERP EVision as a platform for change and business growth and are confident that the solution will help to transform their business.”
