Greentree International have been running a competition throughout New Zealand to find the most deserving candidate for a $250,000 software and implementation package. Capital IT recommended Gemco to win and they are thrilled to say they have made it to the top 10 entrants in New Zealand.

It's been in business just 10 years, but Gemco is already a leader in the Hawke's Bay region, with an enviable track record for big construction projects. Its main business, Gemco Construction, builds multi-million dollar commercial buildings as well as smaller residential projects. Its other business, Gemco Trades, offers all the associated work, including plumbing, electrical, painting, masonry and joinery. Its major current projects are the $18m Hawke's Bay Museum and Art Gallery in Napier, and a new $9m department store in Hastings for Farmers.

However, Gemco's business systems can't keep up with the pace. Its accounting system can't communicate properly with the CRM, and vice versa, and it has five other standalone software packages. This requires double inputting of everything including payroll and customer billing, and with around 90 employees and 3000 invoices a month to handle, that's a lot of paper. But more importantly, customer service could be much better if it could get all of its software integrated. "There are lots of better ways we can look after our customers, and if we can advance our technology, then we can make them happier," says Managing Director Darren Diack. "We're a one-stop shop for building and construction, and we're looking at Greentree as a one-stop software solution."

Capital IT are excited to be involved with the Greentree Game On competition to find a deserving recipient for the prize of $250,000 worth of Greentree software and Capital IT Implementation.

Voting is open now until December the 2nd at 5pm so get in behind this great Company and vote for Gemco to win the Greentree Game On $250k software and services competition.

Napier Boys' High School (NBHS) is a traditional secondary school with a hostel facility. Roll growth together with international financial reporting standards and advances in technology collectively contributed to the need to upgrade their financial system for the operation of their school and hostel.

NBHS selected Greentree to replace their existing CBA financial management system. The school's Finance Manager, Michael Jones, had this to say about the implementation...

"We are delighted with the successful implementation of the Greentree Financial Management System at our school. In particular we are impressed with the high level bird's eye perspective financial reporting the Greentree system provides together with the ability to quickly identify areas of significant variance to budget... the implementation has been completed quickly and efficiently in a very professional manner."
