A bit of history

Sheila and David's family manage six businesses on a daily basis. It all started in 1996 with pig production, and since then, their activities have continued to grow. In 2010, they ventured into cranberry production, becoming one of the 80 producers in Quebec. In 2022, they further diversified their operations by turning to maple syrup production.

Business Challenges

With over 30 full-time employees, managing multiple businesses requires a significant daily investment. Manually entering all the documents related to accounting takes up a lot of time, even for the most meticulous. Administration, often the most time-consuming task, is completed in the rare moments of free time.

Lack of time was the trigger for adopting a digital solution. Our team of advisors worked with the client to optimize her existing workflow and simplify processes.

Implementation of Aleop

The transition to Aleop went smoothly, allowing the owners to continue their growth without burdening their accounting management. Thanks to the family's diligence and Aleop's support, the change was seamless, and the results were quickly felt on a daily basis. The optimization of accounting processes helped reorganize administration, making the hiring of a new person unnecessary.

"I can check my numbers more quickly, and the bank reconciliation is done effortlessly. Invoices and all information are automatically recorded. If there's an error in the account statement, it shows up immediately. Everything is so fast that I save enough time to manage everything at the beginning of the month. Expenses and revenues are well organized, allowing me to have a clear view of the situation at the end of the month."

Results

• 40 fewer hours per week spent on administration.
• The replacement of a resource by Aleop.
• Better collaboration among all members of the company.
• Electronic transfer of invoices with Agri-Marché EDI.
