Case Study: Matrix Control Solutions achieves 150% growth and 60% faster reporting with The Access Group

Matrix Control Solutions implementation success for Access Finance software and project management solution

Matrix Control Solutions, the UK’s leading energy management company (owned by E‑On Connecting Energies), was struggling with manual invoice tracking, sprawling spreadsheets and slow, error-prone reporting. To professionalise finance for growth and M&A, deliver complete management control and meet strict reporting deadlines, Matrix Control Solutions selected the Access Group and its Access Finance solution (along with complementary tools such as Report Writer, Document Manager and Report Pack Creator) to provide end-to-end financial visibility and control.

The Access Group implemented its Access Finance and project management solution, automating processes, consolidating data and enabling browser access for decision makers. Delivered on time and on budget with minimal downtime, the solution cut reporting from 20 working days to 8 (a 60% time saving), enabled reports by the third working day, and consolidated timesheets and expenses. Since implementation Matrix Control Solutions has grown 150% in turnover and staff while the finance team increased by only one person, improving cash‑flow management, accountability and scalability for further growth.
