In 2015, BFM Europe implemented Sage 1000 as its ERP Financial system. The deployment centralized core financial and inventory workflows for the Stoke On Trent manufacturing site, supporting finance, operations management and executive reporting.
Sage 1000 was configured to support core financial modules including the general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, VAT calculation and quarterly submission, budgeting and forecasting, and payroll management covering 100 employees. Inventory and costing capabilities were emphasized, with absorption costing, annual re-cost and stock revaluation routines, and stock valuation maintained through Sage 1000 to support month end accounts and variance analysis.
Operational workflows included daily cash management and daily reconciliation of invoice financing and debt factoring against Sage 1000 records, with sales reporting and analytical outputs produced via Excel exports and advanced spreadsheet analysis. The system supported audit preparation and stock take oversight, and was used to manage rebate schemes and invoice financing processes as part of the broader financial control environment.
Governance and reporting workflows were restructured around monthly close and management reporting, with the management accountant reporting into the financial controller and delivering KPI, variance commentary, and financial presentations to the managing director and director of operations. Sage 1000 therefore served as the primary ERP Financial platform driving costing, stock control, statutory reporting and operational finance processes at BFM Europe.
