The Situation

Due to their growth through the acquisition of new business entities, they needed a system which allowed them to easily add entities, which included programs and funds. Their month end reporting process, which relied heavily on running a customized general ledger update program in order to generate financial statements was extremely tedious and time consuming. Seven Hills needed a solution that would automate and streamline their reporting, allow them to easily add new business entities and allow them easy access to detailed information.

The Solution

With Competitive Edge Services, Seven Hills implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV in their finance department.

Key Benefits

• Automated and timely generation of month end reports
• Ability to easily add new business entities

Testimonial

“With the NAV software we have gained efficiency and flexibility an all areas of financial management including accounts payable check processing, cash receipts application, and particularly general ledger applications as it applies to adding programs and companies; financial statement reporting; exporting information into excel for analysis; and importing general ledger entries. The implementation team from CES was very knowledgeable and thorough so that the transition was very smooth!”
