A feature rich school finance software...

With our workflow approval, you’re able to automatically send paperless POs and purchase invoices for approval before they are posted to the accounting system, including options to add customisable layers of approval. You can also save time by creating an auto approval process for reviewing or approving invoices by authorised personnel. Keep your data secure and track each request with a real-time view of the status of approval.

All your company and group assets can now be managed and stored via this single database, without the need to switch between multiple systems. Quickly approve fixed asset POs or invoices through our workflow approval and App. Upload accompanying documents with our document management functionality, schedule dates for maintenance or renewal, and link assets to leases or loans. Plus, manage your assets with automated depreciation journals and fixed asset schedules – with CapEx forecasting offering you greater assistance in your financial planning.

Employees can record expenses and outlay against internal or external projects and managers to approve. Enjoy our easy-to-use Expenses Capture App to add photos of expense items or receipts, submit expenses to line managers, start-stop mileage claims using Google Maps and easily route expenses for client recharge and tag as paid or to be reimbursed – all with ease on your smartphone. Lock fixed expense items to reduce the risk of error and avoid multiple submissions for the same expense claim, whilst integration with the finance ledger ensures expense claims are automatically paid once approved.

Stock Management

Integrate purchasing to automatically track stock levels, so you know how much stock you have available at any one time and when you might need to order more. Integrate with ePOS, shopping cart and CRM systems to avoid the duplication of data across multiple platforms and retain a more holistic view of your finances.
