Case Study: du Boulay Contracts boosts remote finance and cash flow control with iplicit

du Boulay discusses the need for a new cloud-based system

du Boulay Contracts, a London-based commercial fit-out and refurbishment contractor, needed to replace its on-premise Exchequer finance system. The old system was inflexible, cumbersome for non-finance staff to use, and lacked the remote accessibility required for modern, cloud-based operations, which became imperative during lockdowns. The company sought a new solution to improve cash flow management, invoice authorizations, and project reporting.

Implementing iplicit’s cloud-based finance software on the Microsoft Azure platform provided the solution. The system offered the flexibility for du Boulay to configure it to their exact needs, including involving their project teams. Key results included the ability to work remotely, generate instant cash flow reports, and identify invoice variations quickly. iplicit drastically reduced the financial reporting cycle from three weeks to just one week, enabling the company to meet new monthly reporting requirements as part of a PLC.
