Percipient announces that historic Holkham Estate implements Sage Intacct phase one, as part of its continuous improvement strategy.
Extending over 25,000 acres with 300 properties, Holkham Estate’s activities include residential, commercial, and holiday lettings, property development, arable and vegetable farming, forestry, country sports, a hotel and restaurant, a holiday park, beaches, car parks, admissions, cafes, shops, concerts, and events.
As part of a continuous improvement strategy, 2021 saw Holkham’s operations undergo a shift designed to empower owners of its many different business areas through greater intelligence.
This new strategic emphasis required standardisation and access to insights to steer the estate forward. Following a market review, Holkham invested in Sage Intacct, Sage’s best-in-class cloud financial management platform.
Holkham evaluated each of its existing systems as part of a review, but none had the breadth, depth, and ability to scale needed for the organisation going forward. Following a recommendation, having reviewed Sage Intacct, Percipient was selected to manage the deployment.
Percipient came highly recommended by Sage. From day one, the team were exceptional. Our business is incredibly unique and diverse, and the team spent substantial amounts of time, including an extensive week-long site visit by one of their consultants, learning about the dynamics and nuances of our operations to scope the project out and ensure we deployed the platform in the best way.
Finance Integration Made Easy
“Having gone live with phase one of the project in just three months, Sage Intacct represents a robust digital foundation we can continue to build upon. It’s created an opportunity for us to standardise processes, making everything easier and reducing our risk of inaccuracies. And because everyone across the estate uses the same system, we can redeploy people wherever needed according to demand or to bridge skills gaps,” explains Luke.
“Sage Intacct is so easy to integrate, which means that we can maximise visibility across the entire estate, capturing insights from all areas, whether it’s build status or ice cream sales, to create a meaningful and comprehensive view of operations”.
As part of a phased deployment, the second part of the estate will go live with Sage Intacct in 2025. “We’re confident that with Sage Intacct as part of the foundations of our operations, we can ensure that the estate continues to thrive in a sustainable and community-centric manner for generations ahead,” Luke concludes.
