Last year the Connells Group sold in excess of £8 billion worth of property and arranged mortgage loans totalling around £3 billion, helping thousands of Connells customers to buy a home of their own.
Brief
Connells: Avco created a bespoke application to convert Connells’ payroll files to HMRC approved GFF format and applied a “near the shelf” process to deliver them to HMRC.Outcome
Avco proposed a bespoke converter program to convert files taken a file from the in-house payroll system and output a GFF file format that met the strict e-filing requirements. Working with Avco, Connells programmed their system to create files to a defined format whilst Avco wrote the converter to adapt the file and output the GFF equivalent file. Connells then used Avco's standard Payroll EDI e-filing product to submit the files to HMRC.
