iplicit

Vorteile

iplicit is a modern flexible system with great support. It is cloud based so can be accessed easily from anywhere. It's intuitive to use, transparent and has powerful reporting capabilities.
There is a development roadmap which as a user I feel able to influence. Regular system updates are seamlessly deployed alongside monthly user webinars. This user education is really helpful, enabling us to be kept informed of new features as well as maximising existing functionality.

Nachteile

The stock management module is adequate but I think needs more development. The valuation methods available are Average and Standard, not FIFO. Valuations have to be run at month end rather than being perpetual.

Vorteile

Iplicit is not a difficult system to use. The way it is built allows it to be tailored to the needs of the business and it works really well. Everything that was sold to us in terms of the way it would work is the reality we experience in using the system.

Nachteile

It can be inflexible when looking at the approval process. This does not necessarily make it bad, but it is something that you must think about when processing invoices if you do not use purchase orders.

Vorteile

Multiple time saving features, that allow us information input and extraction much faster & simpler.

Nachteile

Setup to our requirement did require back and forth with implementation team. However, all queries and requirements were addressed.

Vorteile

The reports that are pre set up and the reports you can create

Nachteile

Occasionally having to reload rather than refresh, also takes a while to get used to the system

Vorteile

The system is very logical and user friendly once you know how. The support team are speedy and helpful and the development team take on board suggestions and are always looking for ways to improve functionality.

Nachteile

Our system needed some complex, bespoke elements and the dev team created some great custom attributes and reports. Unfortunately, these are not always compatible with some hard wired functions but, iplicit are always coming up with new ideas and work arounds.

Vorteile

The ease with which reports and MI can be exported from the system.
The drill down facility to link different areas of the system.
The self service model available for budget holders to view their income and expenditure directly.
The bank reconciliation process which enables quick, easy input of cash transactions.
Very thorough training before the go-live date

Nachteile

The list of access/security settings for users is endless which makes it difficult to know what access is being given.
Similarly, reports and enquiries aren't always named intuitively so it can be difficult to find what you need.

Vorteile

simplicity of moving throughout the system, downloading of information is easy and a excellent reporting tool.

Nachteile

the set up has problematic at times, but the excellent service clears the problem in a speedy and effective manner

I like the Excel functions that pull data directly from Iplicit. We have saved so much time on a day-to day basis, which we now use to focus on other tasks.

Nachteile

Any issues that we raised during implementation and after were dealt with so I can't think of anything.

Vorteile

The management information, the easy access to audit trails, the currency management, the ease to automate to so all the right information is instantly available, after service support, tailoring to our needs.

Nachteile

Not much. It can do everything we want. And it can be adapted to anything we need.

Vorteile

Customisable reporting, integration, creating efficiencies, personalised workflows

Nachteile

Implementation and training was not customised to our specific needs and timings.

Although not a user of all the financial aspects the migration from an on-premise legacy system was made relativley straightforward by the support and assistance from the project teams. Bespoke elements of the on premise system were developed and reflected in iPlicit making the transition pretty painless. All the feedback I have heard from the finance teams using it has all been positive.

Nachteile

The expense module isn't very user friendly but neither was the previous supplier so maybe it isn't something that is as important as other financial processes.

Vorteile

UI and level of customisation. Data import checking is also great.

Nachteile

Creating template to import data is very technical.

Vorteile

The customisation options with an in depth training and setup period has enabled clean implementation into the busiest part of our year.

Nachteile

The Sandbox can have a conflict when more than one ticket is being worked on at once. For example one area will reset the sandbox to try and fix their issue and in the process will wipe the work of another areas testing. It seems that there needs to be some way to lock an area from being wiped in the sandbox so that multiple issues can be worked on at once.

Vorteile

Its ease of use, a massive help with time saving through automation. Great customer service and quick problem solvers through a great helpdesk.

Nachteile

The only minor con is as a relatively new product there are areas to be developed but the continual progression has been speedy and without any detriment to the core product.

Vorteile

The ability to copy previous expense records is a godsend and makes life so much easier when costs are predictable and fixed. I interact with this more than any other area of the site.

Nachteile

It *looks* a bit unintuitive and takes a while to get used to the feel of the product.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate and so simple to attach receipts.
Completing my expenses just got a whole lot easier and quicker.

Nachteile

As with all new platforms getting your head around a new system. However, this was short lived as

Vorteile

the ease of use, the functionality that automates things to save time and human error is a god send!

Nachteile

the formulae to use to get information out into excel for real time data is complex.

Vorteile

The ease of use, and ability to see multiple pages

Nachteile

I have not found anything so far that I do not like

Vorteile

The ease of navigation and being able to have several screens open at once to move between. The views of P&L's, Balance Sheet etc. that are so easy to access and extract information from.

Nachteile

I found configuring the approval workflows a bit tricky but that could just be me.

Vorteile

It has really helped with our grant management and cost tracking against individual projects and grant. I love the drill down capability and how all relevant documents can be attached to transactions in iplicit. I really like the online expenses which has been well received by all staff. Having the app, taking a photo of the receipts and submitting a claim for authorisation and paying couldn't be easier now, especially as all the hard work on coding of expense products was done in the set up.

Nachteile

The set up to get it working in the right way for our organisation has been a lot of hard work but if you put the work in at the outset, it does mean the outputs are better when using the system. Iplicit support are always ready to help and very responsive with any problems.

Vorteile

Bank rec , GL reconciliation , interco transaction . Quick implementation and amazing support team that take you step by step how to amend the system

Nachteile

Struggling to think of anything at the moment . updates are frequent adding new features

Vorteile

User interface is intuitive and easy to navigate

Nachteile

Main dashboard, appears complicated in its layout

Vorteile

The simple user interface combined with intuitive solutions have allowed implementation and going live to be a seamless exercise.Our decisions to move from Sage was driven by the need for a true cloud solution. Within the first 30 minutes of seeing the product, we knew it would cover all our basic needs along with solving long lasting pains such as multi-entity accounting.The implementation of Iplicit has reduced cost, improved operational efficiency (in some cases, saving days) and allowed for better decision making due to the multi-dimensional reporting capabilities.

Nachteile

As its early in our adoption, its hard to point a finger at any issues with the system.I Hope it stays that way!

Vorteile

Love management accounts within system, that allow drill down to invoice with review. Love pivot table analogy enabling management report to be shown with different dimensions.

Nachteile

Would love to be able to adapt reports ourselves to deal with minor changes rather than needing development

Vorteile

handles more complex items than Xero such as consolidation.

Nachteile

Lots to learn, a lot of customisation which takes a while to set up.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and has made submitting my expenses much easier.

Nachteile

There could be some more colour implemented, just to brighten the system a bit.

Vorteile

Iplicit is so intuitive and easy to use. The Finance team have really taken to it and are enjoying using it. It is so easy to import data from other systems we use. We have just had our interim audit and the auditors commented on how easy it was for them to interrogate the transactions and review the "paperwork." If you have a problem the support team is very quick at getting back to you to resolve the issue.

Nachteile

As it is a newish system we do have to ask for new reports or ways of doing things, but the Support team are so quick at getting back to you with a solution it is really not an issue.We made a good decision when we chose Iplicit!

Vorteile

We moved easily from Exchequer to Iplicit whilst working from home during Covid lockdowns. We was very well supported during the build and launch of our product. We get very quick responses from customer support when I forget how to do something! Our auditors find it easy to navigate and love the fact we can attach files, emails etc to all transactions for easy referencing. Online authorisations for workflows means less printed paper and quicker approvals.

Nachteile

Not easy to bulk print sales invoices, we do still send out paper copies but set up is aimed at emails.

Vorteile

Cloud based as a major factor, it did seem a bit of a leap of faith in the first instance after always having on premises software but two years down the line it already seems very backdated to have it on site with all the issues that go with networks, servers, back-ups etc. As a complete non-techy person these were all things I am happy that are no longer relevant.

The flexibility to use the system, you can jump & drill down all over the place that as well as the features makes anything in the past seem really clunky.

Nachteile

To be honest there is nothing I can think I don't like. I am looking forward to the inventory being available so we can move ahead with having everything in one place.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu iplicit

Vorteile

The system is so easy to use, even for non-finance users. It also really is an end to end solution for us, and it's really easy to track transactions through the system. The pricing is also very clear and inclusive - there are no extra hidden charges for things.

Nachteile

I honestly can't think of any. There are still things we would like to be developed within the system but they are on their roadmap and our wish list regularly gets ticked off by updates they release

Vorteile

It is so refreshing to see a completely product in this crowded space that is head and shoulders above the rest. It is evident that a huge amount of thought has gone into the design, making use intutive and benefitting from curent best practice

Nachteile

Very little to be honest.
The software is still developing at a pace, so most of the "nice to haves" have eiether arrived or are on the roadmap

Vorteile

It's packed full of features that make bookkeeping, account preparation and reporting an enjoyable breeze. A key requirement for us was integration, Iplicit has a comprehensive tech spec with many integration options and the API links seamlessly with our in-house developed software.

Nachteile

The budget/forecasting needs further development to simplify, this is on their development roadmap. In the end we used their excel link to achieve this.

Vorteile

Firstly iplicit is easy to use and you have have it set up to suit how you work. For us, the move to a "work from anywhere" system like iplicit has been important - especially as this happened just before lockdown 2020. Iplicit are constantly developing the product, so you feel like you're able to enjoy the innovation as it happens. The team are great and customer support are so helpful. We'd used our previous system for nearly 20 years, so the slightly different ways of working seemed daunting at first, but the implementaton/training team helped us with this. I now like the ways of working and enjoy the way I can easily choose what I see and what I can report.

Nachteile

We've had issues with excel integration but this is more to do with the version of Office on our institution's machines. With 365, it works great!

Vorteile

The ease of use from the moment it went live in Jan-20 was effortless. The ease of migration was fantastic. The links to new developments and changes which are made on Iplicit are readily available for the team to learn. Information is shared and easily accessible. Real time reporting is a fantastic business tool for our sales team & Financial reporting is just a click away from Excel, its brilliant.

Nachteile

With no reflection on Iplicit, it is other desktop software that find it challenging to keep up the seamless updates which are running in the background.

Vorteile

Our previous software was some 20 years old and had not kept pace with changes. Iplicit seem to offer an open platform which can be customised to meet nearly all of our requirements and wishes. Training, albeit distance, has been good and the Company have taken away all queries with a review to resolving and questions and queries.

Nachteile

Just getting to know the background in order to set up and transfer into the new system. Again Iplicit staff have been very helpful in doing this.

Vorteile

Accounting Software that's enjoyable to use! The support team are very friendly and have become valued partners, they understand our business and can add things to the software if needed.

Nachteile

Importing journals from Excel could be a bit more easier/slicker

Vorteile

Great pricing - no hidden extras.
The Apps for mobile devices for timesheets and expenses, included as standard, have been great for our remote workers
Flexible product - we have been able to expand our reporting capabilities.
The ability to make posting corrections has been invaluable.
Fantastic implementation team - they really took time to talk to us about what we wanted and have helped to configure the system for our requirements. Along with the wider support team they are still doing this.

Nachteile

We have a complex set up and there was a lot of work to get the configuration correct and get to grips with all the new terminology, but the Iplicit team were there to support us all the way.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Easy to make amendments
Cloud based and can be used anywhere

Nachteile

Inability to get direct bank feeds
Occasional delay in response from support team

Love the simplicity of Iplicit - it is accessible for everyone in our company and tailored access allows users to get the most of out what they need from their system. The Support team are always on hand to integrate additional reports for us.

Nachteile

Integration took a while but we got there in the end - the support team are there to help us with any tweaks or flaws we discover as we get used to using this system.

Vorteile

system is intuitive with good interface

Nachteile

One additional feature to be desired is when posting a revaluation of bank accounts of non functional currency into functional currency, for the revaluation entry to be reflected only in that non functional currency and the document currency should be zero, to avoid distorted figures in non functional currency.
