It’s easy to upgrade with iplicit

Many schools experience challenges with outdated, legacy finance systems. On-premise software often requires clunky workarounds and lengthy manual processes to be effective. And older accounting software for schools will not have the complex functionality required to support MATs. 

With iplicit, it’s easy to make the switch to cloud-based accounting.

Your students’ union is likely to be the parent organisation for a number of entities which run nurseries, bars, welfare activities and more. 

iplicit’s software makes it easy to consolidate the finances of all the entities making up the union, applying the relevant VAT arrangements for each one. When income and expenditure need to be distributed between those entities, it handles the task for you.
