Hill Dickinson Streamlines Procurement Processes With PROACTIS

PROACTIS (AIM:PHD) today announced that leading UK law firm, Hill Dickinson, is to implement the PROACTIS best-in-class spend control solution through accredited partner, ADERANT. The solution will be integrated to ADERANT Expert financials to manage the firm's procurement, disbursement and expense processes.

Now in its 200^th year of practice, Hill Dickinson is one of the UK's top 50 law firms with 1,200 staff across multiple locations, including Liverpool, Manchester, London, Chester, Piraeus and Singapore. Clients include multi-national companies, major corporations and UK plcs, as well as public and professional bodies, public sector organisations and private individuals.

With impressive growth over the past few years, Hill Dickinson recognised the opportunity to streamline their purchasing activities to provide greater control and auditability over their spend.

Financial Controller, Graeme Back explains: "The automated controls and electronic approval system within PROACTIS will ensure that all purchases are pre-authorised and we have real-time visibility of committed spend."

With PROACTIS employees initiate a purchase for items or services easily online. Account codes are automatically assigned based on who is requesting the item, what they are buying, which department they belong to etc. This eliminates data entry issues and ensures that purchase requests are properly coded up front. The purchase requests are electronically accessed by managers where they are approved online, via a PDA or email before the company is committed.

"We selected PROACTIS with ADERANT Expert because it provides a comprehensive suite of integrated applications that enable us to efficiently manage operations, control spend and maximise profitability. This was a holistic solution that other vendors couldn't offer" says Back.

PROACTIS Sales Manager, Joe Taylor says: "The PROACTIS solution is ideally suited to service-oriented firms and we are pleased to welcome Hill Dickinson to our growing client base, which includes a number of other leading law firms such as Herbert Smith, Clifford Chance and Begbies Traynor."

PROACTIS will initially be rolled-out at the Hill Dickinson Head Office in Liverpool with plans to extend the solution across all UK offices.
