“Our business has grown significantly over recent years and embedding Chalkstring has without doubt helped support this. Having all our project financials live and in one place gives me the confidence and control I need to run the business, as well as raising early warnings if anything is going wrong on our projects.”
“Chalkstring has completely upgraded how we work, and we now have formal processes in place with clearly defined procedures for all aspects of our business. Chalkstring is saving us so much time and repetitive input into different systems, making data double-entry errors a thing of the past.
