Structuring growth without multiplying tools: the Ctzar method

When growth means you need to structure your processes better, it’s best to be equipped.

At Ctzar, a fast-growing agency, financial management was becoming an extreme sport. With a crying need for centralization, automation… and serenity. Spoiler: they’ve found the solution.

The challenge: streamlining a scattered (and sometimes painful) management system

Before Furious, finance at Ctzar was :

• Spreadsheets galore,
• Budget tracking split between e-mails and non-synchronized tools,
• And real problems: incomplete customer invoices, duplicate supplier payments…

I knew that if I didn’t plan ahead, I’d spend an awful lot of time on transfers. A living hell.

– Jérémy Mazaud, Administrative and Financial Manager at Ctzar

As the agency grew, so did the need for rigor and a global vision. It’s impossible to steer by sight when you’re managing several million euros’ worth of projects.

The click: an ERP designed for agencies (and really responsive)

It was via a newly recruited consulting director – used to Furious in a previous agency – that the tool came onto Ctzar’s radar.
And the promise immediately appealed: an all-in-one tool covering HRIS, purchasing, CRM, invoicing, accounting exports… designed for the day-to-day needs of creative agencies.

We didn’t want one more piece of software. We wanted the right tool for the job. And Furious did just that – with bluffing responsiveness.

3 mistakes Ctzar never wants to make again

1. Processing supplier payments by hand:
   Avant Furious: 2 to 3 days’ work. Today: 30 minutes top chrono.
   Thanks to XML export, transfers go directly to the bank, without friction.

2. Working in silos:
   CRM, sales management, invoicing, document storage…
   Everything has been repatriated to Furious, resulting in fewer errors and better coordination between teams.

3. Not capitalizing on field feedback: Ctzar’s feedback fed directly into the product. The result: a tool that evolves at the pace of the agency’s needs – and not the other way around.

Deployment: smooth and well supported

No stress to report on the onboarding side.

Clear training, solid support… and even a few smiles when the project managers realized that they were going to have to get a little more involved in purchasing management.

But the benefits soon take over:

• Better understanding of projects,
• Less “I think it’s in the shared folder on the drive in the bis folder”,
• More visibility for all.

What Furious has changed in everyday life

CFO side:

• Centralization of all key data for monthly closing (projects, sales, expenses, invoicing).
• Easier financial projection, integrating current business and pending quotes.
  Less risk, fewer surprises, more control.

Team :

• A tool that is gradually becoming an everyday standard.
• Clear processes, automated reporting and a real sense of anticipation.

And that little something extra?

The quality of support. Responsive, attentive and always ready to adapt the solution.

“We feel heard. Furious is not a fixed tool, it’s a partner.”

What an agency like yours can remember

• Your current processes may be costing you more than you think. In time, in errors, in mental workload.
• A good ERP doesn’t impose a method. It adapts to your needs. Furious adjusts to the realities of the field – not the other way around.
• You don’t need 5 tools when one can do it all. And better.

Do you juggle spreadsheets, Drive, CRM and supplier files?

Maybe it’s time to centralize, structure and automate.

By centralizing tools and structuring processes. Ctzar’s example shows that a well-thought-out ERP like Furious helps to gain visibility, automate key tasks and limit errors, even as activity intensifies.

Multiplication of tools, time wasted on repetitive tasks, billing errors, difficulties in tracking projects in real time… Ctzar was experiencing all this before switching to Furious.

Not necessarily. Ctzar benefited from a smooth deployment, with tailor-made support. The tool adapted to the way they worked, not the other way around.

An all-in-one ERP system unifies data, avoids duplication and simplifies coordination. At Ctzar, this has reduced payment processing time from several days to just 30 minutes.

By choosing a solution that evolves with its users. Furious is enriched by feedback from the field. Ctzar’s needs were quickly taken into account, which reinforced their commitment.
