Vermetten chooses Fortes Milestones and Power BI: efficiency, flexibility and insight
Vermetten | accountants and consultants is a full-service accountancy and consulting organization based in the Dutch region of Brabant. When it was time to renew the application landscape, Willem Arons, financial manager with more than thirty years of experience in accountancy, was called in. In this blog you will read why Vermetten chose Fortes Milestones in combination with Power BI and what benefits this has brought the firm.
Expertise, decisiveness and effectiveness
Vermetten delivers accountancy without fuss. With nearly three hundred professionals spread over nine offices in Brabant, the firm supports entrepreneurs regionally, nationally and internationally. The motto: expertise, decisiveness and effectiveness – for almost thirty years.
Time for new software
Due to strong growth, acquisitions and organic expansion, the old systems were reaching their limits. Business Suite and the timesheet software in particular were in need of innovation. A solid foundation is crucial for a growing organization; a new, future-proof solution was necessary.
Choice of best-of-breed
In 2018, a project team was formed to explore the best software solutions. Vermetten wanted to work completely cloud-based and make as few concessions as possible. This quickly led the firm to a best-of-breed solution that could support every process in the best possible way.
Fortes Milestones: tracking hours at top level
For tracking hours, Fortes Milestones emerged as the clear winner. The link with Power BI was a big advantage, as it allows Vermetten to generate real-time insight and powerful reports. Combined with AuditCase and Exact Online, and later CaseWare, for example, the office is fully cloudbased and efficient.
Flexibility and ease of use
During the implementation, consultant Berry Zwaan of Fortes Milestones supported the office intensively. Thanks to Milestones, project management is simple, flexible and time-saving. Especially the export and import options to Excel save a lot of work and ensure a smooth workflow.
Powerful combination with Power BI
The combination of Milestones with Exact Online and Power BI gives Vermetten full insight into processes and KPIs. By thinking carefully about information needs in advance, each report can be easily realized.
Feedback and further development
Fortes Milestones actively listens to customers. Points of improvement from Vermetten are often reflected in new releases. Thanks to short lines of communication and quick support, daily work with Milestones is smooth and efficient.
