“Now that the risks that concerned me with the old system are off the table, it's given me clear space to think about the things I should be looking at as a finance director – instead of worrying about the transactional data."

“Sage is considered the safe bet but never in a million years are they going to listen to us or make any changes to the product based on our feedback. I genuinely believe iplicit listens to us and I can start to see those changes happening. I like the idea of iplicit and us growing together over the coming years.”

“One of my staff was a big Sage advocate because it was all she'd ever known, so she was very nervous about changing. But she recently said to me: ‘I'm pleased that we've done this. I can't believe I thought Sage was great. This far surpasses it.’"

"The timesaving we experience with iplicit is enormous! We are currently preparing our year-end process, and already we are saving six weeks consolidating the various project balance sheets from various QuickBooks versions. With our old system, each Donor report would take three weeks to produce, with iplicit, a report can be done in less than 2 days!”

"As for why I chose iplicit over the other systems? I would say the API was a key criteria for us; we needed to choose a solution that could integrate seamlessly with other systems – not just the one we’d built but others that we use within the company too."

“iplicit has cut the amount of time we spend on bank and other general ledger reconciliations. Not only is there a time saving from previously manually keying transactions into the system, but also a higher level of accuracy as bank and other transactions are automatically entered via the feeds. This enables transactions to be identified earlier which in turn leads to a more satisfied customer as they are quickly enrolled.”

“We felt iplicit was a lot slicker. When it came to the extra functions we needed, Sage tended to handle it with bolt-ons to the system. And with Sage we’d have needed an SQL server, which we’d either have to put on our premises or pay someone to manage for us. We didn’t want to have to stick a server in the cupboard again, especially since we have two sites, and we didn’t feel confident about a third party running a server for us.”
