“Purchase invoices are processed in a controlled way and with a full auditable trail. At critical times, like month end, I can quickly find documents I am looking for and know where they are in our authorisation process.”
Objective
With ambitious plans for growth, Fairburns Group were looking to identify ways in which they could become more efficient in respect of their office processes. Spectrum were able to review Fairburns’ needs and advise on a bespoke finance automation solution that would eradicate a considerable number of mundane accounting tasks.
The Company
Operating for over 50 years, Fairburns Group has significantly increased its presence in the electrical engineering industry by focusing on customer benefits and excellence of quality.
Challenges
- Finance operations were slow and cumbersome
- Considerable manual input of data
- Need to speed up manual/paper-based processes
Keeping abreast of the latest advances in technology, Fairburns shares Spectrum’s passion for innovation.
Fairburns pride themselves on delivering high quality solutions, based on the expertise that they have nurtured over a number of decades. That is precisely why a partnership with a like-minded supplier like Spectrum has proven to be the recipe for success.
The Solution
Over the last decade, Spectrum have partnered with Fairburns to provide information and document management software solutions that automate various finance department processes. Using industry-leading Spindle and Flexicapture software, the Fairburns solution allows for internally-generated documents such as sales invoices to be created, distributed and filed away automatically.
The bespoke solution we provide allows Fairburns to process purchase invoices (as well as staff expenses) in a digitised, efficient and auditable way. This considerably reduces the amount of man-hours required for cross checking information and inputting data. Spectrum’s email capture solution has also been implemented to further speed up processes by reducing the reliance on human input. Each solution is fully integrated with Fairburns’ existing Accounts software.

An Insight into tomorrow’s workplace.
“We’ve gained in so many ways. Print-related costs have been substantially reduced, we have far fewer devices, which are more flexible and resilient, and we have the right machines in the right places. All of this allows us to focus on our own business without having to worry about print.”
