The accounting department now saves about 20 hours of work a week
This has been a substantial change for our users who aren’t always technically-minded. We wanted a solution that would be really easy to use and pleasing to the eye, and therefore widely adopted. Failing which, the whole project was at risk of falling by the wayside. But it has proved super easy to use, and in web mode too, so our customers don’t need to install it.
It has a very simple user interface, and is visually very pleasant too.

We decided to go paperless and to dematerialize invoices distribution.
Open Bee solutions have been completely adopted by our users because of the ease of work it provides them. Thanks to Open Bee, we saved up to 1h30 per day for the administrative processing of orders. This allows our sales administration team to spend more time on value-added tasks, such as follow-up calls to clients or outgoing calls.
With the implementation of Open Bee, we have significantly reduced our printing and postage costs, such as our administrative processing of invoices’ sending costs.
