Create and Monitor Budgets and Balances. The system has a flexible budgeting capability which allows for chart of account, source of funds, or program focus-area tracking of all budgets, amounts paid, committed, and scheduled.  See where you stand on any budget line item at a glance.

 

Schedule and Process Payments. Schedule single or multiple payments on grants, making them contingent on an action, such as receiving a report.  Easily batch payments for processing, including verification of IRS status, send to accounting and receive back payment information, like check number.

Key Benefits.

Process Workflows and Reminders.  Workflows are simply data entry screens unique to a user, based on the criteria for approval, review and processing of records, guaranteeing adherence to your SOP.  Reminders let a staff member know when there are records in their workflow ready for their processing.

 

Role-based Dashboards. A dashboard is the home page for most users and reveals to them the current status of tasks and processes that need their attention.  An Executive may want graphs and charts to monitor giving activity, where a Program Officer may want a report letting them know the status of payments or reports involving grantees; each can be accommodated.

 

User Profiles. Robust user rights ensure security of your data as well as enable pertinent workflows and dashboards.  From viewing a form to changing an application status; from inputting budget numbers to assigning reviewers, each profile can have unique rights to the system, down to the field level.
