Manage your non-staffing spend, from classroom supplies and staff training to building maintenance, all in one platform. Get a clear view of spending, control costs, and save money with Soldo.
With non-staffing costs accounting for about 25% of school budgets, rising prices and operational costs are set to have a big impact. So, it’s essential to know exactly what’s being spent.
With Soldo’s reports you can visualise all your costs by category and time-period so you can reduce duplication, unnecessary purchases, and siloed spending. Soldo helps you make the most of your money, allowing you forecast effectively and take advantage of bulk purchasing.
As governing bodies, regulators, and university students ask more about how funds are being spent, it’s important for institutions to have visibility over their spending. And this isn’t possible with manual processes.
Soldo gives schools and universities a more accurate view of spend, so they see every purchase in one place. It’s easy to set the platform up to mirror your organisation, so you can create separate budgets for each employee, faculty, function, or department. Empower your people to spend, while you get control, visibility, and insight.
Many institutions have multiple funding sources and spending methods. Couple that with the number of departments and individuals spending and staying within budget can be a big challenge. We recently surveyed education institutions and over half said they relied on credit cards or reimbursements, which can result in unexpected purchases that haven’t been budgeted for.
Give employees, teams, and departments the ability to make essential purchases in a controlled way with Soldo. Set spending limits for all cardholders with location, category, and time-based restrictions and help prevent budget shortfalls.
With manual processes, finance teams spend days reconciling predicted and actual spend each month. Chasing receipts, tracking down missing information, and transferring data between systems wastes everyone’s time and leads to frustration.
With the Soldo app, users take photos of receipts and add spend data when they purchase. Expenses are assigned to the right budget instantly, cutting finance admin. Soldo syncs with your existing accounting software, to reconcile spending in minutes, not days.
“We like that it’s a payment-card system rather than a credit card, there’s a greater feeling of security; we have more confidence in Soldo than the traditional corporate credit cards.”
“We have fewer instances where supporting paperwork is missing, and senior managers’ time is not spent constantly approving daily spend that is needed for the school to operate smoothly.”
