About
Scanpower is a regional electricity distributor supplying power to 6,720 customers in the Tararua region, including Dannevirke, Woodville, Norsewood and the outlying rural areas. The company operates an electricity network covering a geographic area of 2,100kmÇ, with 875km of overhead and underground power lines.
The Challenge
Scanpower had a number of disparate accounting systems that were maintained separately to its core finance system. This meant a number of time-consuming, manual data processes had to be completed in order to complete financial processes and produce organisational reports and accounts.
The Solution
Scanpower chose to implement the MAGIQ Cloud Platform to deliver a fully integrated ERP system including finance, payroll, budgeting and reporting systems across the organisation.
The Benefits
By moving to the Cloud, the utility company has improved its systems security and accessibility; as well as future-proofing its business systems for new technologies and innovation.

“We now have our entire business systems environment running in the Cloud, which means no more server infrastructure on-site to worry about and have much more confidence around the security of our data. In the MAGIQ Cloud our system back-ups and disaster recovery are completely taken care of and that’s a major advantage.”
