COA Solutions gives us a flexible platform to automatically send documents to our suppliers or customers and dramatically improve our reporting processes, so freeing up our staff to spend their time more productively.

HealthDelivering business benefits
NHS Trusts invest in business solutions on the understanding that they will deliver real business benefits. Delivering these benefits is fundamental to our implementation methodology. Before any project commences, the expected business benefits are documented, the current activity levels, workload and costs are defined and the expected level of business benefit agreed. The delivery of these benefits is intrinsic to all our implementation projects. Furthermore we review the delivery of benefits six months following go-live to assess what has been achieved and to explore opportunities for further improvements.
Collaboration
COA Solutions' collaborative approach to financial management is that the budgeting and planning process delivers more value when information can be reported, analysed and delivered on a frequent basis. This means more than simply distributing and monitoring reports to managers. We have structured our solution to involve all aspects of the finance function, including the demands of non-finance users.
Health sector experience
We have a unique blend of health sector, purchasing, finance and business specialists who can draw on many years experience working with the NHS. Our consultants have worked with our customers to develop best practice processes, which can be tailored during implementation to ensure that they fully meet the business requirements of the customer and maximise potential efficiency savings.
Real savings made
COA Solutions has helped NHS customers implement new business solutions successfully and achieve real cost savings, including up to 80% reduction in requisition process costs, 70% reduction in central purchasing process costs, 3.8% unit cost savings on non-stock purchasing, 60% savings on purchase invoice processing costs and 50% saving in monthly reporting costs. With COA Solutions you will select a partner who has proven they can deliver real savings for NHS organisations.
In 2006 we became the first supplier to integrate our eprocurement solution with the OGC Zanzibar marketplace at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
