Case Study: Red Kite Learning Trust achieves automated purchasing and spend visibility with Compleat Software (Compleat Education)

Red Kite Learning Trust - Customer Case Study

Red Kite Learning Trust, a multi‑academy trust in England, needed to automate purchasing and accounts payable across its schools to save time, reduce costs and gain oversight of all spend. To achieve this they adopted Compleat Education from Compleat Software, integrating online buying with key suppliers (including Amazon Business and YPO) and connecting purchasing to their PS Financials finance system.

Compleat Software delivered a fully integrated purchasing and AP automation solution—online buying, PO-to-invoice matching and automatic posting into PS Financials—so 14 schools can buy directly, invoices are digitally captured and matched, and finance has real‑time visibility. The trust now processes 23,000 invoices a year into PS Financials, supports 100+ purchasers and 150+ approvers across 18 locations, cuts manual data entry and errors, and frees finance staff to focus on higher‑value work.
