Complexity

A lot of organisations still work with complex spreadsheets, which, in many cases, only a handful of people understand and are able to access. This makes the financial planning vulnerable in their absence. Moreover, the complex spreadsheets are prone to mistakes and are difficult for trusts to understand. This can complicate policy making.

Insight

Even if organisations already use financial or HR tools, combining information from these different tools in order to gain an accurate picture of the organisation’s financial status can be challenging. This lack of insight makes it difficult to stay on top of the budget and act proactively instead of reacting to problems after they have occurred.

Forecasting

How does the future influence the financial planning? For example, how does the future number of students or employees influence your budget? And how do new laws or changes to the collective bargaining agreement affect the budget? It’s difficult to capture these events in spreadsheets and explain and visualise the financial consequences.

Time saving

Anago makes budgeting and reporting simple and accessible. You import available information, such as student quantities and FTE data. Our application then does all the necessary calculations in the background using the figures provided by the government. This saves you a lot of time because you don’t have to check the rules and do the calculations yourself!

User friendly

Our software is easy to use, also for financial laymen. All the necessary information can be found in one web application, which makes working with spreadsheets redundant. Moreover, Anago can be connected to your external administration services. Therefore, you don’t have to enter data twice, with less mistakes and more efficiency as a result.

Support

Our support team works to a very high standard. In addition to providing traditional support, they also train key and other users on using the application so everyone can use it with confidence.

Our customers are in the driving seat. We continuously improve and develop our tool based on input from customer user groups.

What our clients say

Ellen, from Curio, a school with over 20,000 students, shares her experience with Anago:

Before…

“We used to work with complicated Excel files that were all linked. This was a time-consuming process that was prone to errors. In short, it was very labour intensive. We were always in for surprises, too, because it wasn’t possible to detect mistakes until the end. We were always playing catch-up.

We wanted to improve our planning and control process and be able to compare numbers in real time. We weren’t able to do this in Excel, so we started looking for a tool that could help us.”

After…

“Working with Anago changed our work process. Everyone now has the same approach and it’s clear to the board what information we need from them. This enables us to look at new ideas and how we can finance them sooner rather than later.

In addition, we can now run reports during the process instead of only after the process. This not only enables us to see where we’re at, it also displays bottlenecks, which we can then resolve.”
