Testimonial: 

Our partnership with de Poel has not only delivered significant cost savings on temporary agency staff in the transport and warehouse sectors of our business but has enabled us to successfully harness and manage temporary spend across the company.

Through the implementation of their e-tips® timesheet and invoice processing system, de Poel has given us a clear picture of temporary agency spend, complete with bespoke company reports and easily accessible management information. The system delivers a single electronic weekly invoice which has noticeably streamlined our administrative procedures and ensured efficiency and accuracy across agency payments.
