2,000 levy invoices a month: from three days to about an hour

Strata Specialists was running on a 20-year-old program that couldn’t even send an email. Monthly levy invoicing tied up five staff for about three days. OneIT replaced it with a cloud system that sends invoices, reminders and contractor payments automatically. Nisha McGeough now does the levy run herself, in about an hour.

The transition’s been really, really good and our association with OneIT has been brilliant. Can’t fault it.

The challenge

The business ran on a strata program designed 20 years earlier. It couldn’t email from the system or pay contractors by direct debit, so contractors were paid by cheque.

Each month, around 2,000 levy invoices were printed, scanned and emailed one at a time. By Nisha’s estimate, that was about three days of work for five staff. Industry vendors on the east coast meant time-zone delays and patchy support.

The solution

OneIT, a Perth team in the same time zone, built a cloud replacement. It emails levy invoices straight from the system, sends reminders and pays contractors by direct debit.

Support is part of the package. Nisha says someone always followed up quickly, and anything urgent was “fixed really, really quickly.”
