Harnessing cloud technology to drive improvement and efficiency in schools

Flexibility is essential in today's changing landscape - academies and trusts need reliable systems that can easily grow with them.

Our cloud optimised financial solution has been designed with this in mind; we have worked with academies and trusts to build an all-in-one, multi-dimensional finance solution that supports all organisations, from the smallest schools to some of the largest academy trusts in the country.

• Reduce administration time and effort
  Intelligent search, built-in help guides, dashboards and a configurable modern interface make it easy to access the information you need, when you need it

• Take the strain out of reporting
  Create and schedule bespoke reports on any data in the system; you can even set these to be automatically distributed by email or simply export them

• Avoid errors and duplication of processes
  With a secure and auditable online requisition process, budget holders can place and track their own orders. The procurement feature means that orders can be placed with your key suppliers from inside of the system without the need for re-entering information

• Digitise the paper trail
  Comprehensive document management and automated purchase invoice processing not only saves time, but ensures that a paperless audit trail is readily available

• Make better decisions
  Integrated budget planning allow you to make accurate predictions on your future income and expenditure

People are your most valuable yet costly resource, so you need to be able to manage your staff and protect your students efficiently.

Built specifically for schools and MATs, our cloud enabled HR & Payroll software allows you to save time and effort by digitising the paper trail to give you a single view of your staff - from recruitment and induction, through CPD, to payroll and remuneration.

When it comes to students, safeguarding is essential - our system helps ensure and monitor that your policies are compliant with legislation designed to protect children and staff.

• Save money; increase control
  Avoid costly outsourcing fees by bringing payroll in-house
• Cut administration time
  Standardise your processes, automate actions, set reminders and allow staff to manage their timesheets and expenses via the web - all configurable to your requirements
• Focus on supporting students, not administration
  Carry out safeguarding audits without the paper forms - store information in a central repository and easily produce reports across multiple sites or departments
• Improve accuracy and plan for the future
  By integrating with our school financial system, you can project your financial position and manage your cash flow more efficiently

Keeping track of your assets is essential when reporting the value of your school and making sure it is compliant and safe.

From equipment and premises to software licences and processes, we help make it easy to manage your school environment.

The increased requirements for external validation, regulatory inspections and internal audit mean that it is vital that MATs have robust, consistent systems for understanding and managing compliance across all of their schools - whether it's accident management, complaints, assessments or any other area.

We can help you take care of everything, from your buildings to your software,

• Reduce the risk of costly surprises
