Case Study: Future Academies saves over £200k and gains real-time spend visibility with PLANERGY

Future Academies cuts finance headcount needs by 50% and saves £200k with PLANERGY

Future Academies, a multi-academy trust with ten schools, faced significant financial inefficiency due to its legacy systems. These systems created data silos, fragmented procurement processes, and a lack of real-time visibility, which resulted in unexplained spending gaps and high costs. The trust's CFO sought a modern solution to streamline operations and chose to implement PLANERGY's spend management software to gain control and oversight.

By implementing PLANERGY, Future Academies automated its invoice processing and centralized procurement across all schools. The solution provided flexible approval workflows and real-time dashboards for complete financial visibility. This resulted in substantial savings: staffing efficiencies saved £80,000–£90,000 in the first year, and over £200,000 was saved by eliminating duplicate contracts. PLANERGY delivered the clarity and cost control the trust needed.
