"18 months ago, my partner Steve and I started our own generator hire company from scratch. We both come from trade backgrounds and our customers rely on us for in-field service work every day of the year. We knew we needed advice, not only about which business management solutions were going to help us run our business, but also keep it streamlined and efficient. Integration Kings delivered. The usability of Xero and ReceiptBank has given us the head start we needed to be able to grow rapidly and profitably. The systems we have in place allow us maximum time to service our customers' needs on the job. Rob, Adam and the team at Integration Kings, have been there to advise and assist us with anything we've needed, every step of the way."

Challenge
Morgen was a startup business needing the basics, first of which being an accounting system. They needed to be set up enough with the fundamental systems to ensure they could do their accounting themselves without needing to lean entirely on a bookkeeper. This way they could minimise costs in the beginning. Coupled with an accounting system they needed a payment platform and an expenses platform to minimise time spent on their financial affairs. 
Both Steve and Jess are electricians by trade with no accounting knowledge, so we needed to ensure that the systems were not too complex. They also needed to be cost-effective as they were just starting out in business. As they are located in Central Queensland, primarily working in the field for sometimes 20-hour days, in-house meetings and training sessions were not an option.

Goals

• Low cost solutions
• Solutions accessible in the field
• Easy to use platforms

Solution
Taking into consideration the needs of Jess and Steve, we provided them with a basic stack of systems including Xero (accounting), ReceiptBank (expenses)  and Pinch Payments (payment platform). We supplied adequate training in online sessions on how to invoice a customer correctly and in a timely manner within Xero. 

Results
The implementation of Xero, allows for a greater ability to integrate with other core business systems on the market such as ReceiptBank and Pinch Payments. These three systems link seamlessly to provide Morgen with the ease of being able to keep on top of their bookkeeping and customer payments. ReceiptBank scans and stores their receipt data securely in the cloud. Pinch Payments allow them to receive credit card and bank account payments with the extra option to auto-charge invoices. Jess and Steve can utilise these three systems from anywhere, anytime that is required; including out in the field. 

There's a better way to do business.
