Your teams are going to love you for it.

Having the right tools for the job is one thing. But when every team in your company uses the same tool to handle files, manage tasks, and speed up clunky processes, work becomes a breeze. PIQNIC solves so many of the little frustrations that can make work take an age. So your people can do more of what they do best.

Financial Services Solutions

Finance

Keeping your business profitable sounds simple on paper. But it’s a challenge for finance departments to keep your organisation in good financial health. PIQNIC makes things easier in three ways:

Keep tabs on your numbers better than ever before: If reports aren’t accurate, they’re not fit for purpose. PIQNIC captures all of your data, organises it and secures it until you need access. And when you do, it’s easy to find. Perfect for reports, forecasts and other financial models.

Help your team to help you: You can’t budget, audit or forecast without getting all of the relevant info from all of the relevant people. And it’s tricky, when they’re never at their desks when they should be. Our teamwork tool tells people where to be and when, so you can grab everything you need from them in time for the 3pm meeting.

Focus on more meaningful work: When you’re running so many processes every day, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. If it’s not purchase order approvals, it’s reimbursing (and shaking your head at) expenses. Automate the work that stops you from doing more important jobs, and make everything seem rosier at 5 to 9 on Monday morning.

Here’s how PIQNIC gives you a break:
1) Makes reporting much easier by securing and organising data
2) Lets you set important meetings and tells everyone to be there after they’ve finished the tasks you’ve given them
3) Streamlines the processes that take up unnecessary time and energy

Solutions for Human Resources

Human Resources

Making people happy at work is a thankless task, made even more thankless by people finding out what someone else is earning because you left a file on your desk. Here’s how Keep your data secure and spend more time focusing on your employees with PIQNIC.

Assign tasks to the right person and keep everyone in the loop about the go-karting and pizzas you’ve organised for early-finish-Friday.

Make work a nicer place to be: We automate mind-numbing processes and standardise repetitive workflows, freeing up you and your team to concentrate on making people’s work life better.

Solutions for Legal Department

When it’s your job to make sure your business is behaving itself, you’ve got to make sure everyone’s handling documents and managing cases properly, with no room for mistakes or delays. PICNIC supports your legal team in three important ways:

Store your info securely and in an organised way, see previous versions and track edits to prevent discrepancies.

Loads of inputs, one place to see them: Legal cases need lots of different people with lots of different skills. They all need to have their say, provide their thoughts, and write their notes. And that all needs somewhere to live. That place is PICNIC. It makes sure everyone involved knows where the case is up to and who’s responsible for which tasks.

Win legal cases faster: Processes within litigation, contract reviews, or compliance are major culprits in swallowing huge chunks of time. Frustrating when you’re working to a strict deadline. Automate these processes and focus on winning the case for your client.

Make legal life easier by organising your documents and tracking edits, having one place to see work and case updates, and streamline clunky processes to spend more time winning cases.
