Case Study
Architect group implement software lease
Learn how an architect Group in the North of England implemented a bespoke software finance solution to transform their company
Architectural and Interior Design Practices
Based in the north of England combining four independent architectural and interior design practices, which forms the Group. With individual design studios located in central London, benefiting from additional offices in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and international locations delivering acknowledged design quality across key sectors of the built environment. Architect finance and leasing was therefore chosen for them.
A significant investment in a project ERP software solution was needed with the underlying need to hang onto capital for acquisitions and growth. “The finance needed to be competitive and flexible incorporating all aspects of the solution” said the Groups Finance team. “Ideally leaving our bank lines intact”.
Architecture was once an Olympic sport!
Their Mission
Their challenge was to equip all the offices with a software solution that enhanced working practices and as they say allowed “Our people to operate as one team; empowered to make a difference and contribute to the overarching design objectives”.
Design excellence and client satisfaction remained critical to their mission. “We work internationally as one, sharing best practice, knowledge and experience across the globe”.
A software only lease was implemented incorporating the added costs of professional services, implementation and support. Their software supplier partnered with Westwon and after a consultative approach with the client, We offered a bespoke software finance solution. Perfect for the clients requirements at that moment in time.
