Bowhill Engineering is a family-owned structural steel fabrication firm specializing in heavy and complex steel structures based in Bowhill, South Australia. Founded in the early 1970s, they’ve built a reputation for delivering innovative solutions for major infrastructure projects across Australia.
Bowhill Engineering was operating with an outdated, paper-based procurement system that was creating inefficiencies across their operations. As a company known for innovative solutions in structural steel fabrication, their manual procurement processes were not aligned with their forward-thinking approach to engineering.
Key challenges included:
“It was pretty much really basic. We only used Xero, but to input data into Xero, we were 100% paper-based,”
“Everyone wanted to move from the paper stuff,”
Bowhill Engineering implemented ProcureDesk to modernize their procurement processes and create seamless integration between their project management and financial systems.
Implementation approach:
Staff quickly embraced the new system once they saw how it simplified their workflows.
After an initial adjustment period of about three months, the team settled into the new system comfortably.
After implementing ProcureDesk, Bowhill Engineering experienced significant improvements in its procurement operations, with increased efficiency and visibility across departments.
Key benefits realized:
The implementation has created a more collaborative environment where different teams can work together efficiently through the platform. The system proved easy to learn, with staff becoming proficient quickly and questions to the support team decreasing significantly after the first three months.
When asked to describe ProcureDesk in one line, Rathnayake simply stated it was “very effective, very efficient.”
“Easy to understand – any basic person can learn this software in very quick time. It streamlines the processes and can collaborate all the teams together.”
