Case Study: Selco achieves secure, on-time payroll with Bottomline PTX cloud payments

Flexible Cloud-Based Solution Ensures Secure, On-Time Payments

Selco Builders Warehouse, a trade-only builders’ merchant employing about 2,250 people and part of the Grafton Group, faced a critical payroll risk: its Bacs payment software ran on a single dedicated PC, creating a single point of failure and limited user access. With payroll timeliness non-negotiable, Selco needed a more resilient, multi-user, compliance-ready solution that could support future growth and potential supplier or Direct Debit payments.

Selco implemented Bottomline Technologies’ cloud-based PTX payments platform, which was quick to configure and train on, provides anywhere access, built-in workflow with multi-step approvals, and comprehensive reporting and audit trails. The subscription service removed disaster-recovery concerns, sped up payroll processing to about 10 minutes, allowed emergency processing for a sister company, and delivered a scalable, always-up-to-date alternative to on‑premise software.
