Until recently, all our financial planning activities involved working with information downloaded onto spreadsheets. They took a long time and relied on lots of emails flying around the organisation. COA Solutions' collaborative planning application offered a better way.

Procure to Pay
We provide leading Procure to Pay solutions for a large number of emergency services clients assisting to drive through process and efficiency gains, providing 100% visibility and control of spend across their organisation, freeing up resources and saving money to allow for investment in 'front-line' services and community projects.
Our Smart Procurement Suite provides 'best of breed' electronic procurement software, including marketplaces and punch-out (to the Blue Light marketplace, for example), to drive through efficiency and contract compliance.
Invoice Management
Traditionally invoice management has been heavily reliant on manual and paper based processes. With most emergency services organisations processing tens of thousands of invoices a year, that's a potential for thousands of paper invoices being passed around the organisation at any one time.
COA Solutions can provide you with the right invoice management solution to meet the needs of your organisation, embracing both large enterprise and SME suppliers.

COA Solutions is the sole provider of NSPIS HR to the UK Police Service. NSPIS HR comprises Police Personnel, Duty Management, Health & Safety, Training Administration and Self-Service systems.
NSPIS HR enables Forces to drive efficiencies, lower the cost of ownership and focus on core police business by utilising a solution designed exclusively for use by UK Police Forces in a fully integrated suite of applications. NSPIS HR also integrates with other NSPIS applications.
Budgeting & Forecasting
The vast majority of public sector organisations still use Excel as the main tool for budget creation. However, although this affords maximum flexibility, it lacks any real data control and can be cumbersome to manage.
Our budgeting solution integrates many data sources, including actuals and commitments, to provide real-time monitoring of results, which highlights activities that require immediate attention to manage performance proactively.

Business Intelligence and Analytics
The improvement and effectiveness of reporting and the timeliness and accuracy of such information is critical to emergency services organisations, including the ability to report on key regulatory requirements. It is no longer sufficient to understand how and where money is spent within the organisation, it is imperative to make better financial decisions and undertake business planning and modelling.
With over 500 successful Business Intelligence projects delivered over the last ten years, we can provide the tools to do this, to present your managers with the necessary information in a timely manner and user-friendly format.
