"We were using Exchequer, but we'd grown to a £10m-£12m turnover and it was creaking at the seams. To reconcile the main bank account would have taken half a day. Now it takes five minutes."

“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!”

Head of Finance & Resources

“I have to report to the directors and at month-end, when it gets busy, there are a lot of last-minute journal entries. I would hate to be in the position where I'm constantly having to update reports. However, with iplicit, you can just click on a button, the data refreshes and the reports are up to date. That is a massive timesaver for me.”

“We’ve already saved a lot of time on the balance sheet reconciliations – and when it comes to VAT, I would say it’s cut the time spent on that by at least half. It’s made us more efficient and effective at what we do... When I did the first VAT return, I thought ‘My word, this is so much easier than it used to be’.”

“We had a very clear idea of what we wanted. We wanted to see our SoFA (statement of financial affairs) live on screen and our balance sheet – without having to export data to Excel and doing the phenomenal amount of manipulation that had previously been done. It became clear to us very quickly that iplicit was what we were looking for.”

Financial Controller

“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.”

“In our old system, every report had to be pulled out and put into Excel before we could do anything with it. With iplicit, we can run reports and see them on the screen immediately. It's a huge improvement.”

Lindsey Fellowes-Freeman

“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.”

“I really like the way I can quickly and easily change how I view information within iplicit. I can view by fund, by period, by project, just by changing the view with the little cog icon, rather than by running six different reports. When I realised I could do that, I thought: ‘Mind blown.’”

“There's real confidence in the numbers, which wasn’t always there with Exchequer because there were so many manual processes that we had to do. Things like prepayment release and deferred income release are automatic. It gives you confidence so you can report instantly rather than finally getting this month’s management accounts in two months’ time.
