Procurement is seen as the key enabler in achieving greater public sector efficiency, providing the mechanism to deliver savings of £1.1 billion, as outlined in the Gershon report.
Advanced Business Solutions can assist in the delivery of the key efficiency targets through collaborative technology and best practice procurement principles.
Procure to Pay BlueprintTraditionally invoice management has been heavily reliant on manual and paper based processes. With most local authorities processing tens of thousands of invoices a year, that's a potential for thousands of paper invoices being passed around the organisation at any one time.
Advanced Business Solutions can provide you with the right invoice management solution to meet the needs of your organisation, embracing both large enterprise and SME suppliers.
Invoice Management for the Local Government BlueprintThe vast majority of local authorities still use Excel as the main tool for budget creation. However, although this affords maximum flexibility, it lacks any real data control and can be cumbersome to manage.
Our budgeting solution integrates many data sources, including actuals and commitments, to provide real-time monitoring of results, which highlights activities that require immediate attention to manage performance proactively.
Budgeting Local Government Challenges BlueprintAdvanced Business Solutions can provide local authorities with the ability to effectively communicate with customers for improved satisfaction, good business management and focused debt recovery, equipping your business with an infrastructure to support the unknown changes of tomorrow.
The improvement and effectiveness of reporting and the timeliness and accuracy of such information is critical to local authorities. It is no longer sufficient to understand how and where money is spent within the authority, it is imperative to make better financial decisions and undertake business planning and modelling. We can provide the tools to do this, to present your managers with the necessary information in a timely manner and user-friendly format.
