How ACCES Employment grew without the growing pains thanks to Sparkrock.
Our organization wanted to manage financial processes more effectively. By doing everything on one platform, we could increase our data accuracy and efficiency in reporting and analytics.
ACCES Employment provides a wide range of job search programs and services throughout the Greater Toronto Area. They assist job seekers from diverse backgrounds who are facing barriers to employment. Through employment services, linking employers to skilled people, and building strong networks with community partners, ACCES helps integrate job seekers into the Canadian job market.
ACCES has been experiencing significant expansion and, as a result, required a more sophisticated solution to help manage its financial processes effectively. The existing financial system was primarily designed for accounting purposes and lacked the comprehensive, cloud-based capabilities of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
ACCES needed a solution that would streamline documentation, workflows, and approval processes for numerous projects—each with unique financial and operational requirements.
Ghazanchyan had a clear objective: to streamline the organization's financial processes, improve data accuracy, and increase efficiency in reporting and analytics. ACCES Employment required a robust tool for financial reporting and project management that could serve multiple departments and projects.
Sparkrock offered more than just accounting support. It could efficiently manage and simplify financial documentation and workflow approvals digitally.
This platform would be implemented across all five organizational departments and projects, optimizing financial and project reporting. With over 30 projects, ACCES required an ERP system capable of organizing both financial and non-financial data in a single, integrated platform.
“We felt Sparkrock would be the right fit for our needs,” said Ghazanchyan.
With Sparkrock, ACCES Employment achieved a transformational shift in its financial processes. Haykaz Ghazanchyan describes the impact, "With Sparkrock, it's like having 35 different accounts in one big account."
The organization successfully automated manual tasks, reducing errors and improving efficiency. Most notably, Sparkrock streamlined the submission, approval, and storage of documents within the system. It is not limited to finance and includes all departments in the organization.
The reporting process has been dramatically improved with data accessible in one centralized platform, allowing for the effective use of tools like Jet Reports and Power BI. ACCES provides project performance reports to all 30+ project teams, offering insights into their budgets and anticipated progress. The organization also delivers analytic reports to leadership teams and departmental budgets to individual departments
Optimizing operational efficiency is at the core of ACCES's ERP implementation. There have been improvements to organization and accuracy across the board. Sparkrock’s comprehensive solution has enhanced their financial processes and paved the way for improved data-driven decision-making within the organization, benefiting employees and leadership alike.
Finance teams aren’t the only ones to benefit from Sparkrock. Microsoft tools like Power BI can connect with Sparkrock to create visually engaging and easy-to-understand financial content for non-financial users.
With Sparkrock, you'll have the tools to manage your finances and workforce more efficiently so you can focus on what you do best. Go from paper-based processes to intelligent cloud-managed workflows, and access the data you need to make a real difference in your community.
