For remote staff

The only certainty for all of us is that the next four to twelve months will see a significant number of our staff not wanting to take the risk of coming to work.

Without remote working in place, the accounts payable process will suffer through delays, whether to purchase essential supplies or delayed payment to critical suppliers who then withhold those supplies, as they too feel the financial pinch.

And without timely and accurate statutory returns, cashflow and management accounts, the school becomes financially blind.

So take the time to look and to test Compleat. If satisfied, make the change.

For teachers

Compleat makes purchasing much faster, easier and more convenient by enabling teachers (and everyone else) to buy online from preferred suppliers at much lower prices. This makes purchasing simple and quick, especially for “repeat” orders.

Every request to buy is automatically checked against the available budgets and approved before being sent.

Also, all invoices are digitally captured, matched to orders/receipts and then automatically sent for approval.

By using Compleat to handle your purchasing (including online purchasing), teachers will love you and have more time for what is important to them!

For senior management

Every school is limited in what it can achieve within available resources and funding, often forcing senior management to compromise on an ever-growing list of priorities.

Compleat is focused on delivering on three primary objectives:

• Save everyone involved in the purchasing process a great deal of time, both inside and outside of finance
• Provide finance with real time oversight and control over the entire purchasing process
• Make the available funding stretch further by reducing the costs of what you already buy

The savings we can achieve often run into hundreds of thousands of pounds year-on-year and that is enough to make a real difference to any school.

For finance

Compleat extends the functionality of your existing accounting software with an incredibly easy to use application that:

• Removes all of the paper
• Delivers a real-time overview and control over all purchasing activities, invoice capture and approval processes
• Enables buying more from online suppliers for the best buying experience at lower prices
• Delivers better control through:
  • Real-time budget checks
  • Preferred supplier adoption to deliver the savings
  • Automated commitment and accruals for month-end close
• Automates posting to any accounting software on final approval

For procurement

As every procurement professional will tell you, their two biggest challenges are:

• Extracting the spend data necessary to get competitive quotations
• Getting the school to then use those preferred suppliers to deliver the savings

Compleat addresses both of these challenges; either by working with existing procurement resources or providing them as a service to save your school money.

Through our CompleatProcure application, we utilise the header and line-level data we capture from every supplier invoice to deliver full category analysis, consolidation and aggregation of supplier spend. This information is ready for tendering in a fraction of the time a manual process takes.

We then deliver the best online purchasing experience to ensure everyone buys from preferred suppliers to deliver those savings.

Making significant savings has never been easier.
