MEDIA PROFILE
Mara Matson, VP Finance, Using Abak Software Since 2002

«I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY ABAK TIME AND BILLING SOLUTION.»

THE CHALLENGE
The billing cycle took 2 weeks (10 business days) to complete my billing cycle.

THE SOLUTION
Abak’s invoice formats and link to Sage Accpac ERP

THE RESULT
66% reduction in billing cycle. My invoices look far more professional and the link with ACCPAC is working great.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF ABAK SOFTWARE
Our automated billing features and off-the-shelf reports increased Mara’s productivity 3-fold. Since I also have more reports directly from Abak, I don’t have to do anymore excel reports for clients or internal purposes at month end. I found Abak intuitive to learn.

«A COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM THAT SUPPORTS THE FULL LIFECYCLE OF SERVICING, BILLING, AND IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES»

THE CHALLENGE
In June of 2011, E&I leadership team felt it was time to expand its core focus to its membership from best in class procurement contracts to several other value-added services, specifically procurement consulting services directly to the membership. While E&I’s technology infrastructure could support the electronic gathering and reporting of ROI metrics, it felt a dedicated software solution focused on the operational and strategic management of the new business pipeline was the most advantageous decision.

THE SOLUTION
To support this decision, the solution also needed to be easy to use, from both a timesheet entry and administration perspective, but also needed to support corporate and field-based consumers transparently. Many solutions were evaluated, with a focus on SaaS and SMB expertise.

THE RESULT
Abak 360, above its other competitors in this space, was able to execute on those requirements, with an attentive and qualified team, at an extremely cost effective model.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF ABAK SOFTWARE
Due to Abak’s effective use of fast / detailed time and billing components, combined with a unique and flexible invoicing / reporting solution set, corporate and field-based units can maximize on a collaborative platform that supports the full lifecycle of servicing, billing, and identifying opportunities in this growing area for E&I.

THE SERVICE AND SUPPORT HAS BEEN AMAZING!

A big thank you so far to the Abak team. The service and support with this, our first install, has been amazing! You guys have all been a very big help to me and to our client, Wallace Macdonald & Lively. Because of this I’m very excited about this product and look forward to more installations. It’s nice to know I have someone there for support when I need them. We deal with other third party products for ACCPAC and we don’t receive support like this. Keep up the good work, and be sure to pass this message on to the others for me…
