Vision Nine Group is a live entertainment business specialising in events, festivals and experiences that bring people together. The group has developed from the curator of a range of events on behalf of youth and entertainment brands into the management of its own major festivals such as Boardmasters, Nass, and its Spring and Halloween Masked Balls.
As a company creating and growing five festivals ranging from 5,000 to 150,000 attendees, Vision Nine Group needed an all-encompassing system that managed accounting and finance as well as related functions such as estimating, purchase order entry, timesheets and expenses.
Vision Nine Group called in Paprika in 2010 and Paprika’s role has grown and developed alongside the transformation of Vision Nine’s business. With Vision Nine’s owned events run as separate companies, Paprika’s ability to support finance and operations in a structure that is both separate and tightly integrated has been invaluable.
Lee Bater, COOO/CFO of Vision Nine Group, said: “The ability to control permissions across the system with lots of flexibility improves budgetary control and has enabled us to adapt Paprika’s systems to meet our changing requirements.”
Paprika plays a fundamental role in ensuring Vision Nine Group has complete control over its ever-changing budgets and revisions. As a group that prides itself on creativity and scalability, Vision Nine has looked to Paprika to provide technology that works across the system and increases operational efficiency within the business.
Lee added: “Having everyone from project management to finance using Paprika is hugely beneficial... these are just some of the reasons I have recommended Paprika to my other colleagues in the past.”
Vision Nine Group chose Paprika’s QuickSilver support option which entitles it to regular account manager visits, with training and implementation consultants constantly working with Lee and his team to address how the business is changing and re-evaluating how to best configure systems to improve efficiency.
