Case Study: Ryedale Group reduces software costs by 84% with Aqilla

Ryedale Group Implements Aqilla and Reduces Software Costs by 84% a Year

Ryedale Group, a family-run plastic printing business, faced severe operational disruption and high costs from its cumbersome Syspro accounting software. Seeking to integrate accounting with its sales and production processes, Finance Director Julie Davis sought a new, agile solution and evaluated options like Sage and Xero before selecting the Aqilla finance and accounting software for its configurability.

By implementing Aqilla, Ryedale integrated its core business applications, automating data entry and streamlining workflows across departments. This solution from Aqilla provided the leadership team with confident, data-led management reports and delivered an estimated 84% reduction in annual software costs, saving over £50,000. The efficiency gains also prevented the need to hire additional accounting staff.
