Connecting service costs with the planning process

Can reporting reflect our departments, programmes and funding structure?
Reports can be configured around the relevant dimensions and classifications available in your data. We begin with your required outputs, then agree how departments, programmes, projects, funding streams and entities should be represented.
Can we work alongside our existing finance systems?
Solver UK reviews your ERP and other required sources to establish the appropriate integration, mappings and update approach. Solver supports reporting and planning alongside your existing transactional systems.
Can we plan capital programmes across multiple years?
Planning models can represent the periods, project dimensions and assumptions your team needs. We discuss how approved allocations, phased spend and forecast outturn should be updated and reviewed.
Can Solver support our governance and audit reporting?
We review the outputs, calculations, supporting detail and responsibilities needed for your reporting process. Specific statutory returns, grant conditions and audit requirements are agreed during scoping and reflected in the configured solution where appropriate.
What would implementation and pricing involve?
Scope depends on the reports, data sources, planning models, users and workflows required. A requirements discussion helps Solver UK outline the work, involvement and proposal relevant to your organisation.
