Client Profile - Ausclad Industries

When the Ausclad Group of Companies (AGC) first turned to Triumph for solutions to its accounting challenges, it was a $20 million company. Seven years on, it is a market leader in total engineering solutions with a turnover of $378 million.

Triumph continues to keep track of every financial transaction that occurs throughout Ausclad's Australian and Singapore offices.

Ausclad has developed into one of Australia's leading manufacturing, fabrication, construction and asset maintenance companies, servicing the oil and gas, and mineral resource industries. The company's current project portfolio includes a number of substantial contracts on many high profile developments.

Jacqui Watson, one of CA Management Services' consultants for Ausclad says "Triumph has not only grown with the company, it has given Ausclad the platform from which to grow its diverse operations."

"Before Ausclad ran Triumph software, they were running a basic accounting system and all their purchase ordering and job control were completed manually or on spreadsheets", Jacqui said.

"Ausclad initially purchased a 10-user system in mid-2001 which revolutionised their accounting processes and audit reporting capacity. As the company has grown, so too has their Triumph package."

Today, Ausclad's Australian operations run a 35-user system including modules for Job Costing, Multi Division, Procurement (Purchase Ordering), and Foreign Currency customers and suppliers. Its Singapore operation (Cactus) has a 15-user system with similar modules.

The beauty of the Triumph system, says Jacqui, is that it has had the flexibility to grow with the company and adapt to the challenge of new operating environments.

"Triumph has given Ausclad a high performance accounting tool that is simple enough for operational people to use, with the built-in power to allow management and auditors to track what's happening within the company, and why it's happening!"

While Triumph proved to be a flexible system for Ausclad during its growth phase, now anticipating significant future growth, Ausclad is looking to go to the next level with a full Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
