Friday off by 3pm.
Fewer chases.
One record of truth.
The office manager who used to stay until eight on Fridays chasing illegible timesheets is the first person we hear from after week two on Unibuild. Hours flow in from the gate, CIS auto-applies, AfPs land on the queue, Sage reconciles itself off Friday's data.
Six things the office
used to dread.
Now they don't.
The patterns we hear most often from office managers, bookkeepers and accounts assistants — and what changes when the records live in one place.
