ECIT: “Intect is a modern payroll system that gives us clear advantages when we handle payroll for our clients”

ECIT Services A/S

ECIT Services is a Danish accounting firm that – as part of the Nordic finance and IT giant ECIT – provides a wide range of payroll and finance services on the Danish market.

With a total of 75 employees across Denmark, ECIT Services works every day to deliver reliable solutions that streamline its clients’ payroll and accounting processes, whether the client has 1 or 5,000 employees. And two competitive advantages in particular have contributed to companies such as Scandic and Power choosing ECIT to handle their payroll and accounting: they have a nearshoring centre in Vilnius, and they use Intect as their payroll system.

“Intect gives us a fundamental competitive advantage”

As a well-established payroll and accounting bureau on the Danish market, ECIT Services has a clear strategy for how best to run its business. One of its strategic decisions is built on Intect, and it gives them a clear competitive advantage.

“At ECIT, we have spent the last 15 years optimising our processes so that we can offer our clients the most efficient operational setup. As part of this work, we have had a clear strategy of using as few systems as possible, as this supports efficiency while minimising the likelihood of errors.

This means that we use Intect when we outsource payroll. Intect represents a fundamental competitive advantage for us, both because it is a good, modern payroll system with many great features, and because it is our sister company, which gives us unique access to skilled resources and support.” – Martin Søgård Olsen, Managing Director at ECIT Services A/S.

These are exactly the qualities that Intect’s Head of Sales and Marketing, Mathias Møllgaard, highlights as strategic focus areas at Intect.

“At Intect, we continuously work on developing our payroll system further and building new, value-adding features on our strong payroll engine, so that we can support efficient and automated payroll administration for our clients. It is an important part of our DNA.

In addition, ensuring skilled guidance and support is of course a focus area, and we do this based on a strong team of dedicated payroll experts.” – Mathias Møllgaard, Head of Sales and Marketing at Intect.

A modern system with lots of great features

A prerequisite for ECIT’s streamlined business setup is having a payroll system that can handle the task and support efficient delivery of payroll administration to its clients.

“When we base our payroll delivery on one and the same payroll system, it is of course important that the system can handle the task. And Intect can. Even though we are sister companies, it is important to point out that we are certainly not forced to use Intect as our payroll system. We use Intect because it is a really good payroll system and because it can handle our clients’ complexities.

Intect is one of the modern systems on the market. While many other systems on the Danish market are based on an engine from the ’80s, Intect is built on new technology, and that provides a good setup with lots of great features.” – Martin Søgård Olsen, Managing Director at ECIT Services A/S.

Among Intect’s many great features, Martin Søgård Olsen particularly highlights the employee app, where employees can access their payslips and data, as well as Intect Insights, the system’s unique reporting tool.

“Intect Insights creates great value in our daily workflows. Besides being a really good reporting tool, it also helps create good dynamics with our clients. To ensure good insight into the processes, our clients have access to the payroll system themselves. That means they can – via Intect Insights – pull out exactly the reports they need, and that works well.

We are also happy with the employee app, where you can simply reach into your pocket to see your payslips and update your master data if you need to.” – Martin Søgård Olsen, Managing Director at ECIT Services A/S.
