Moving to iplicit

Moving to iplicit

Implementing new accounting software doesn't have to be complicated. At iplicit, we've refined our process to make your transition as smooth and efficient as possible. Our experienced team guides you through every step, from initial planning to go-live and beyond, ensuring you're set up for success from day one.

Why implement iplicit?

Changing your core accounting system is a significant decision, but with iplicit, you're choosing more than just software. You're gaining a dedicated implementation team with years of experience in successful software transitions.

Project kick off

In this stage we'll discuss what implementation will involve, how long it will take, and what the finished product will look like. We'll review your needs, including data migration, reporting requirements, user permissions and training. Together, we'll agree what our team and yours need to do.

Design

Next, we create your sandbox environment, so you can can start to get hands-on with iplicit. We'll gather some basic data from you to make the sandbox realistic. This helps you make early decisions about how your live system should work, and provides a safe environment for your team to train and experiment.

Build

Our team will continue to configure your sandbox using your feedback, adjusting features such as reports, workflows and integrations. Your data will be migrated and tested to ensure everything works as required. Documentation, training and communication plans are worked out during this phase.

Train

Your team receives comprehensive training through hands-on experience, demos and videos. We'll make sure you're confident using iplicit and equipped to deliver training to your own staff in the future.

Test

We conduct user acceptance testing to make sure everything is running as it should. Any findings are picked up as our team revises the build.
Nothing goes live until you've given it the green light.

Deploy

Once you're happy, it's time to go live!
When you're confident everything is operating smoothly, you'll transition to our expert UK-based support team.

“The ability to share budget vs actual reports with budget holders has been revolutionary. Previously, we had to build reports in Excel by extracting data from our previous accounting system. Now, budget holders have the access they need.”

“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."

“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.

“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.”

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.
