Case Study: Plymouth College of Art achieves streamlined, automated finance operations and cost savings with Xledger

Plymouth College of Art - Customer Case Study

Plymouth College of Art, an independent specialist art college serving about 1,300 HE and 500 FE students, needed to replace an overly complex Unit 4 finance system that required multiple support contracts and was becoming unsustainable. After researching true cloud alternatives, the college selected Xledger’s true-cloud finance platform to provide a simpler, sector-appropriate back-office solution that could be accessed via a browser and reduce overhead.

Xledger implemented a single-contract, true-cloud finance system with strong project management and responsive support, enabling the college to go live on time using existing staff. The result was a much more streamlined finance operation — automated bank feeds, email invoice import, OCM functionality and faster transaction processing — allowing Plymouth College of Art to run a £16m organisation with just 3.4 FTE and achieve significant savings.
