Case Study: Hospice in the Weald improves finance reporting and automation with iplicit

Hospice in the Weald cuts month-end from four weeks to 10-12 working days with iplicit

Hospice in the Weald, a nonprofit providing hospice care and operating 29 charity shops, faced significant challenges with its outdated Sage 50 finance system. The finance team was trapped in frustrating, error-prone manual processes, including laborious data entry and complex manual adjustments. This led to severely delayed reporting, with management accounts taking nearly a month to produce, preventing the team from delivering strategic value.

By implementing the iplicit accounting software, the hospice automated key processes like fixed asset depreciation, prepayments, and bank reconciliation. This resulted in dramatic time savings, reducing the month-end process from four weeks to just 10-12 working days. The iplicit solution also enabled weekly payment runs, improved supplier relationships, and provided self-service reporting across the charity. Most significantly, the finance team was freed from data processing to focus on analysis and strategic roles, fundamentally changing their value to the organization.
