Success Stories

Horizon Specialist Contracting Ltd

Background

Horizon Specialist Contracting Ltd, a leading construction and contracting company, has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality projects across various sectors. As the business grew, so did its operational challenges, particularly in managing its complex financial and project data.

Previously, Horizon relied on an older system and a cumbersome manual reporting process that consumed significant amounts of time and resources. With their project load increasing, the company recognised the need for a more efficient solution to keep up with the demands of their growing business. This is when they decided to upgrade from Evolution M to Integrity Software’s Evolution Mx.

The Challenge

Before implementing Evolution Mx, Horizon Specialist Contracting faced major inefficiencies in generating critical financial and project performance reports. Their existing system was not equipped to handle the company’s rapid expansion, resulting in extensive time being spent compiling and analysing data.

The need for real-time reporting and improved accuracy became pressing. Project managers and accountants were spending valuable time pulling together the data, which caused delays in decision-making and hampered the company's ability to stay on top of project costs and financial health.

The Solution

Integrity Software’s Evolution Mx was the ideal solution to Horizon's problems. With its specialised functionality designed for the construction industry, Evolution Mx automates critical financial processes, from payroll to project cost tracking, while offering powerful reporting tools that deliver real-time insights.

The platform’s user-friendly interface and customisable reporting features enabled their staff to easily extract and interpret the financial data they needed - drastically reducing the time spent on manual tasks.

The implementation of Evolution Mx was made seamless and effective, with a smooth transition over several months, thanks to the outstanding support and knowledge from Integrity Software’s Professional Services team. From the initial planning stages to the final system roll-out, the team was there with Horizon every step of the way, ensuring a smooth transition and minimising disruptions to their operations.

Their hands-on approach, thorough training sessions, and prompt support empowered Horizon’s staff to quickly adapt to the new software. The Professional Services team’s dedication and expertise instilled confidence in Horizon’s team, knowing they had a trusted partner by their side, ready to assist with any questions or challenges. This close collaboration ensured that Horizon could leverage the full potential of Evolution Mx right from day one, setting a solid foundation for ongoing efficiency gains.

The Results

The adoption of Evolution Mx has revolutionised Horizon’s operations. The company is now able to generate detailed reports with just a few clicks, allowing them to focus more on strategic planning and less on repetitive administrative tasks.

The impact on their workflow has been profound. According to Horizon, the software has saved them a considerable amount of time, allowing the team to redirect their efforts toward other areas of the business.  Overall, the upgrade has made a positive impact on the way Horizon staff consult and work with each other, improving efficiency and reducing duplication of processes. 

“Evolution Mx is going to save us considerable time every month that was previously spent on generating reports and manual processes such as the purchase invoicing register," said a Horizon representative. This time-saving boost not only improves internal efficiency but also enhances their ability to meet deadlines and budgetary requirements across all projects.  It is also of interest that there are further options available for future development.

Conclusion

By implementing Evolution Mx, Horizon Specialist Contracting Ltd has experienced a significant improvement in their operational efficiency. The ability to quickly and accurately generate financial reports has allowed them to stay ahead of their growing workload, ultimately supporting the company's ongoing success and expansion.

Integrity Software’s Evolution Mx continues to deliver powerful results for Horizon and other clients across the construction industry, helping businesses streamline their processes and make better-informed decisions.
