“We used Exchequer on-premise before this. Wasn’t fit for purpose – not good for multi locations. We needed something that was true cloud based. And something that would grow with us – something with lots of automation but that was relatively easy to set up. Xledger we found the best fit of true cloud ERP.”

“Frustrations – on-premise – hard to use remotely. Exchange rates are difficult to handle in other systems Other systems require bolt ons that are not cheap. Whereas with Xledger you get everything in one go. A Big price difference for us. Xledger comes out of the box and doesn’t require much set up.
Challenges to overcome – wanted something as soon as possible. we needed to move fast. And the location and on-premise issue. And something that would scale. The bank transactions made it very attractive.
We’ve already solved all our problems. We’ve got a lot of automation. We’re in a good position now – with a system that will meet our demands as we grow. It was easy to onboard and implement. We got it up really quickly in a few weeks.
It differs from previous systems – price – you get very good piece of software for a good price. We only needed 2 staff in finance. With other systems you need more staff. It’s very automated and makes life very easy for us. We’re set to grow so we are confident we have a system that will make this as painless as possible. OCR and bank reconciliation are amazing. We don’t waste any time each month with the reconciling. The dashboard is nice.
It makes the accounting so much easier and quicker so that we can focus on financial strategic areas instead of getting bogged down.
Real-time insights – makes it faster and frees up time mainly.
Metrics – revaluation your ledger or bank account is now a touch of a button in Xledger – reporting wise this is much easier than with previous systems – used to take time to post those entries. Saving a few hours a month just there.
We are Norway, USA, UK. We are also using Xledger for a hedge fund in Cyprus.
Users – just 3.
We are still in R&D mode – we are not yet generating sales – but when we do we will get recurring subscriptions pricing model – Xledger comes with that functionality – recurring subscription based – we are hoping to use that.
Exchange rates are done automatically in Xledger.
3 things about it I would recommend:
- scalability
- quick and easy to implement
- high end automation
