Care Providers
Solutions

COA Solutions offers a comprehensive financial management, procurement, projects, HR and payroll solution tailored specifically for care providers. Our solutions are extremely scalable, and can be suited to the smaller, less sophisticated or departmental end user as well as the larger, more demanding corporate requirements.

An important characteristic of this sector is the distributed nature of care provider organisations. Our solutions use a simple web interface and workflow routines that allow care providers to extend our back office finance, procurement, projects, HR and payroll and reporting systems to their distributed care homes and offices. This helps to reduce paper flows, reduce data rekeying and improve processes and efficiencies in the care provider business.

The components of our solution for care providers consist of the following:

Finance and Accounting

COA Solutions streamlines all your financial business processes for enterprise-wide financial management, providing workflow and process control, allowing you to make more informed decisions, improve operations and reduce costs.

The often complex and varied VAT charity requirements are provided within our accounting software, ensuring that customers from this sector have the breadth of functionality they require to administer and produce their accounts and reports.

Income Management

We provide the COA Solutions Advanced Income Management system that enables care providers to accurately set up and manage sales invoices for contracts and agreements with local authorities, primary care trusts and other funding agencies. Flexible invoice frequencies and formats combine with functionality to provide accruals and pre-payments, retrospective price changes, full credit control and so forth, so that the care provider is in control of the income management process.

Procurement

COA Solutions is a leading supplier of Procure to Pay (P2P) solutions to care providers, providing 'best of breed' electronic procurement software, including marketplaces and punch-out, to drive through efficiency and contract compliance.

Projects

Our Projects system ensures that skilled and expensive resources are monitored, controlled and, where appropriate, billed as quickly as possible. Transaction entry and online enquiry is facilitated by a simple and intuitive web user interface.

Sub-contractors, Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and retentions

The effective handling and processing of both sales and purchase transactions for contractors and sub-contractors is a key requirement for many project-centric organisations. COA Solutions provides a fully integrated sub-contract ledger which supports the processing of applications and certificates, CIS deductions and reporting, CIS Gateway submissions, effective VAT processing (including partial and non-recoverable VAT) and management of the whole retention process.

HR and Payroll

Our fully integrated HR & payroll system is a leading Human Capital Management solution, providing a flexible, easy-to-use, quick to implement, scalable and functionally rich solution. We work to ensure ongoing compliance and adherence to emerging standards and our software is fully HMRC accredited.

Time and Attendance

The COA Solutions time and attendance software module is a time recording system that allows employees to clock in and out by an electronic clocking machine; this enables the automatic creation of absences and payments. Users can allocate employees time over user-definable codes and full reporting allows tracking and monitoring of time. Used in conjunction with our flexi time solution, this gives care providers powerful capabilities for automating this area of their business.

Document Management

Our 'paperless office' document management and document imaging software is an integral part of our financial management systems. The enterprise-wide system enables the electronic storage, retrieval, management, enhancement and delivery of thousands of business documents to be effected electronically.

Business Intelligence and Performance Management

With over 500 successful Business Intelligence projects delivered over the last ten years, COA Solutions is one of the UK's leading Business Intelligence consultancies. We have the proven track record to successfully deliver your project - everything from a health-check on your existing Business Intelligence system to the delivery of a complete Corporate Performance Management solution.

We can assist with charity SORP and SOFA reporting and accounting requirements for care providers with a charitable status.

Integration

We work closely with our care provider customers to understand the business drivers for integration - to membership and fundraising systems, for example. Our integration technology fosters reusability and flexibility within an organisation where data access, service, application and business process integration is achieved to meet specific business requirements.

Delivery and Support

Buying a solution from COA Solutions can offer a lot more than just software. With an impressive track record built up over many years, and managing implementations to PRINCE2 guidelines, we can provide you with the services and support to help implement your new system as quickly and easily as possible, encouraging optimum use throughout the organisation and helping deliver an excellent return on investment over the life of the system.
