EasyBuild replaces their current Sage Financials, Payroll and spreadsheet systems with a comprehensive integrated system to manage all aspects of their accounting, human resource and business applications. EasyBuild combines 14 modules built on an Oracle database to provide all the controls and reports needed by a construction business.

KDC reviewed a number of software packages and short listed to three. EasyBuild was the preferred choice. Sue Lueck, KDC’s Finance Manager explains: “We looked at a number of systems available on the market but EasyBuild was the one that came up tops. To us the main deciding factors were: 1) EasyBuild is a very user friendly system which wouldn’t intimidate the staff and thus would be easily accepted. 2) It would integrate all departments into a company-wide system rather than have isolated applications for each department. 3) It was flexible enough for us to use it in all of our three companies – we could customise it to work with our demolition and decontamination businesses as well as our construction branch. 4) Finally EasyBuild is based on a solid and cutting edge technology – if we are going to invest money in a system we want to ensure it won’t become obsolete in the near future.”

Sapphire Ltd, the developers of EasyBuild, were very pleased with KDC’s decision. Brian Walker, Sapphire’s Sales Director said: “We are very proud that EasyBuild was selected. EasyBuild is a very powerful enterprise system for the construction Industry and it has many advantages over older packages. It is simple to operate with no complex menu structures, navigation is point and click rather than “clunky” Character based and EasyBuild offers superb inexpensive connectivity for remote locations via VPN. Our development investment in new market leading technology Windows, Oracle and Crystal Reports ensures EasyBuild is a product built on a solid foundation with a long future. We are confident that KDC will greatly benefit from its many features in managing and controlling their many projects.”

The long established Sapphire Group, owner of Sapphire Ltd, also specialises in the provision of application development tools and services; specialised vertical applications, web services, security software and is a leading provider of offshore services.
