Monahans, a prestigious firm of chartered accountants and business advisers in the Southwest, were founded in the 1890s. With a commitment to serving local communities, Monahans has grown to seven office locations, offering a broad range of specialised services. In their pursuit of innovation and efficiency, Monahans embarked on a transformative journey with Summa Tech to address specific operational challenges.
The seeds of the partnership between Monahans and Summa Tech were sown in February 2019 with the use of Summa Tech’s MTD bridging tool. This collaboration deepened in August 2023, focusing on a customised Desk Booking software to enhance office functionality in their Trowbridge office.
Monahans faced significant challenges with desk utilisation and underutilisation of car parking spaces. Simon Tombs, Managing Partner at Monahans, said: “We realised that our office space and parking facilities were not being used to their full potential, which led us to seek a digital solution.”
Responding to these challenges, Summa Tech developed a bespoke Desk Booking solution. This tool enabled staff to efficiently book desks and parking spaces, optimising office resource management.
“The Desk Booking system from Summa Tech has been a game-changer for us,” said Simon. “It’s not just a tool; it’s a new way of working and something that has helped us bring data-driven decision-making to the forefront of our operations.”
The implementation process was a collaborative effort. Monahans provided detailed floor plans, which Summa Tech transformed into a virtual office within the application. “The process was seamless,” Simon said. “Summa Tech’s team worked closely with us, ensuring our feedback was integral to the development.”
The Desk Booking system emerged as the most significant change. “It’s revolutionised how we plan our office attendance and has given our management team invaluable data,” Simon explained.
Monahans’ experience with Summa Tech has been overwhelmingly positive. “I would wholeheartedly recommend Summa Tech to any business looking for digital solutions. Their team’s approachability and expertise made the entire process enjoyable and highly productive,” Simon stated.
Looking to the future, Monahans plans to expand the Desk Booking system to other offices. “Our journey with Summa Tech is just beginning. We’re excited about the possibilities this partnership holds for our other locations,” said Simon.
Summa Tech’s innovative solutions have significantly enhanced Monahans’ operational efficiency. Their client-focused approach, coupled with advanced technology, positions Summa Tech as an exemplary partner for accountancy firms aiming to modernise and streamline their operations. The success story of Monahans and Summa Tech stands as a powerful example of the transformative impact of customised digital solutions in the accounting industry.
