Modern Cloud Platform Drives Intelligence and Instils Scale at Historic Norfolk Estate
Percipient today announced that Holkham Estate has deployed Sage Intacct. As part of a new strategic emphasis, the deployment is designed to support standardisation and access to insights from which to steer the estate forward. The second part of the project will go live in 2025.
Replacing a myriad of best-of-breed legacy systems, Sage Intacct was selected based on its ability to scale and support growth, capacity to deliver reliable insights and intelligence, and easy integration with other third-party systems such as farming and property management.
Using Sage Intacct, Holkham is now seeing real value across its reporting. Not only is it slick and seamless to create a report on a given area, but the team can slice and dice certain aspects of an area, such as demand in its café against weather patterns and conditions, to deliver really robust, reliable insights and intelligence.
“When looking retrospectively at data and identifying patterns, it’s important to understand the why behind the what. Sage Intacct gives us the means to investigate that, so if, say, visitor numbers are down we have easy access to the data to help understand the circumstances. Rainfall, for example, is something we monitor for our farming activities. But this is also a useful indicator of profit levels, as takings in our café on a sunny day can be around £5,000 more than on a rainy day.”
“Sage Intacct is so easy to integrate which means that we can maximise visibility across the entire estate, capturing insights from all areas, whether it’s build status or ice cream sales, to create a meaningful and comprehensive view of operations. Its flexibility not only helps resourcing and reporting but gives us much more confidence as the estate’s business activities evolve and we are confident that we’ll save time and drive greater productivity as a result. We’re already seeing huge time savings following phase one through 65% of our invoice processing being automated.”
“Percipient came highly recommended by Sage. From day one, the team were exceptional. Our business is incredibly unique and diverse, and the team spent substantial amounts of time, including an extensive week-long site visit by one of their consultants, learning about the dynamics and nuances of our operations to scope the project out and ensure we deployed the platform in the best way.”
“I have a lot of experience of managing comparable deployments and in my previous role, I managed large finance team of 70+ people. I honestly feel that the relatively short deployment timeframe was testament to the fact that Percipient spent so much time up front learning and understanding our diverse business.”
