Tencia software helps automate processes at Budget franchise and gives them real time financial data

Melbourne, Australia - Wednesday 20th February 2013

Moglonemby Trading Company, a Budget Rent a Car franchise, responsible for 9 Budget Rent a Car branches spread throughout the State of Victoria recently invested in the Tencia ERP solution.  

Human Resources and Administration Manager, Janet Greenough, explains their decision to change. "We were looking for a system with flexible reporting and a live General Ledger.  We wanted something that would deliver good controls to manage our payment processes and would further automate our existing month end processing.”  

In addition to seeking a new system that would take their business well into the future, the team wanted a solution that would work well with their proprietary and legacy systems.  This was a central consideration for the business.  They needed to work with an implementation partner that they trusted who really understood their requirements.

According to their Arrow Business Partner, Information Synergy a lot of preparation was undertaken before the live implementation took place.  “Information Synergy were very responsive to our needs, they moved us over to the new system over a weekend and had us up and running by mid morning.  They got in there and updated all the settings in Tencia to ensure that the system was configured to meet our specific business needs.  The training was great and we felt very comfortable using the new system.” Said Janet.

The larger field sizes in Tencia were a welcomed feature for this Budget Rent a Car franchise.  “Important data such as our Rental Agreement numbers would need to be imported across from the Budget worldwide ‘Wizard’ system in to our financial system.  Previously those numbers were truncated making it difficult to find invoices and receipts.  Tencia has been able to alleviate this for us saving hours of time” said Janet.

Real time data has also lead to several other efficiencies for the business such as improved management reporting and a reduced effort in responding to management queries.  “Now if my General Manager asks me a question I can have a response to my GM in minutes.  I save hours of time using Tencia.” She explains.

With future plans underway to further integrate Tencia with their existing Rent-a-link system by using the customisable fields within Tencia to make it easier to print invoices from within the system, it appears that additional value from this software will continue to be unlocked in the near future.
