Real Client Experiences and Case Studies

Community Foundation Ireland

David Hickson, Financial Controller

“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.”

“Switching to iplicit has provided significant savings in time and cost and enabled us to prepare management accounts within 10-15 working days of month-end – and completed to a standard that would stand up to an audit.” 

MJ Flood

Tara Moran, Finance Manager

“As for the product itself, I just love it! Everything is so easy and so accessible, and it has a very modern user interface.”

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust

Darren Tiffney, Director of Finance and Central Services

“We were using Exchequer when I joined Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, 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.”

A-One Insurance Group

Sarah Smith, Group Operations Director

“The real-time reporting has been business changing. We’ve been able to consolidate all the businesses at once so we can grab very realistic and up-to-date snapshots at a moment’s notice.”

Grand Theatre Blackpool

Mark Preston, Finance and Business Manager

“There’s a lot of inter-company work. iplicit makes that a lot easier by consolidating everything together; there’s no logging out and logging back into a different company, you can just swap between them.”

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre

Graham Mackay, Chief Operating Officer

“The general feedback we got from our people around the world – for whom English is a second, third or fourth language – was that iplicit was an intuitive system and they were able to submit their expenses really easily.”

Health Poverty Action

Sandra Tcheumeni Boschet, Head of Finance and Administration

“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.”

Corrotherm

Ian Newman, Director

“Looking back, our upgrade to your cloud system was pretty much pain-free. We’ve had four accounting systems over the past 30 years and no migration was ever as smooth or as quick as the experience we had with iplicit.”

EPM Bus Solutions

Jon Anton, Consulting Director

The final two contenders were Netsuite and iplicit and, from a functionality perspective, I don’t think there was much in it – both systems are very capable.”

BAILEYGOMM

Laura Orchard, Financial Controller

“When we started using the system remotely, every day, we realised that it was as good as being in the office!”

“Timesheet invoicing has probably had the biggest impact on us; it was life changing! This is a task that used to be a week-long process, every month, with the old system – now it takes just half a day with iplicit!.”

Insight Associates

Garry Mumford, Founder and Managing Director

‘Could I have an ‘I Love iplicit badge please?’ The experience we’ve had with you guys so far has been second-to-none. It has been an absolute delight. I can’t fault the desire on the part of the iplicit team to help find a solution, no matter what the challenges were during the migration.’

Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing

Keith Stephenson, Director of Finance and Operations

“Being able to rehearse workflows and play with configurations, without risk, has been invaluable to us and also serves to make us much more confident with customisation.”

Third Energy

Ruth Motley, Finance Manager

‘We looked at a number of systems in the marketplace including NetSuite, SAP, Sage and iplicit. It came down to a choice of two systems in the end, because NetSuite was unresponsive and Sage 200 seemed like a step backwards. While SAP was interesting, it was just too expensive and iplicit delivered everything we wanted at much less cost.’

David Budd, Financial Director & Kate Bialek, Financial Controller

It’s very simple to run an upto-the-minute report on latest invoices or single supplier invoices and instantly identify any variations. From a cash flow perspective, it’s creating a lot of positive change in the routines as to how we used to do things.”

Trees for Cities

Annabel Kiddle, Head of Finance

‘We now use the workflow authorisation functionality, so everything can be done electronically now. Previously we used to have to get people to physically sign things off and then email their approvals. With the new iplicit system, all the documents are accessible digitally, at the point of approval, so the process is remarkably faster.’

Profiles Creative

Lee Cook, Financial Controller

I’d say we can now do at least 3.5 days of the old way of doing things,  in less than a single afternoon!

Oxford Brookes Union

Helen Bristow, Head of Finance and Resources

“I can’t imagine what would have happened during ‘Lockdown’ if we hadn’t upgraded to iplicit.

It’s much easier to create documents with iplicit and the team is always there to help with that, whereas our old system could seem clunky in comparison.”

Borg Transmissions

Sarah-Jayne White, Director

“Everything we wanted before but could never achieve with our old setup.” “Once we had a demonstration of the iplicit solution, there was no doubt that this was the product for us.”

Fireco

Kristian Salter, Chief Financial Officer

“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.”

How It All Works

Iplicit’s architecture is quite special; it’s true cloud and only in the browser, but it looks and feels like a desktop application. No layer upon layer of tabs opening and probably the most intuitive navigation that you will find in the marketplace today. Take a look for yourself.
