Case Study: Stroud District Council achieves business continuity and a 40% productivity boost with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Stroud District Council - Customer Case Study

Stroud District Council, the local authority serving about 113,000 citizens in central Gloucestershire, needed to maintain high-quality public services despite severe austerity-driven cuts. The council faced reduced resources and slow, administratively heavy financial processes that threatened service continuity and operational efficiency.

By adopting Unit4’s cloud ERP, People Platform, financial management and Planner, Stroud achieved uninterrupted business continuity, mobile access, and a single source of financial truth. The move cut system administration by 40%, boosted staff productivity by 40%, streamlined budgeting and freed employees for broader duties—improving efficiency and employee satisfaction while sustaining citizen services.
