Housing Associations

COA Solutions offers a comprehensive financial management, procurement, projects, HR and payroll solution tailored specifically for housing associations. Our solutions are extremely scalable, and can be suited to the smaller, less sophisticated or departmental end user as well as the larger, more demanding corporate requirements.

The components of our solution for housing associations consist of the following:

Finance and Accounting

Offering flexible coding and a hierarchical structure, COA Solutions' accounting software streamlines all your financial business processes for enterprise-wide financial management, allowing you to make more informed decisions, improve operations and reduce costs.

The often complex and varied VAT requirements are provided within our accounting software which, together with functionality for the latest CIS requirements, ensures that customers from this sector have the breadth of functionality they require to administer and produce their accounts and reports.

Procurement

COA Solutions is a leading supplier of Procure to Pay (P2P) solutions to housing associations, providing 'best of breed' electronic procurement software, including marketplaces and punch-out, to drive through efficiency and contract compliance.

Projects

Assisting users to monitor developments, our project accounting system ensures that skilled and expensive resources are monitored, controlled and, where appropriate, billed as quickly as possible. Transaction entry and online enquiry is facilitated by a simple and intuitive web user interface.

Sub-contractors, Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and retentions

The effective handling and processing of both sales and purchase transactions for contractors and sub-contractors is a key requirement for many project-centric organisations. COA Solutions provides a fully integrated sub-contract ledger which supports the processing of applications and certificates, CIS deductions and reporting, CIS Gateway submissions, effective VAT processing (including partial and non-recoverable VAT) and management of the whole retention process.

HR and Payroll

Our fully integrated HR and payroll system is a leading Human Capital Management solution, providing a flexible, easy-to-use, quick to implement, scalable and functionally rich solution. We work to ensure ongoing compliance and adherence to emerging standards and our software is fully HMRC accredited.

Document Management

Our 'paperless office' document management and document imaging software is an integral part of our financial management systems. The enterprise-wide system enables the electronic storage, retrieval, management, enhancement and delivery of thousands of business documents to be effected electronically.

Business Intelligence and Performance Management

With over 500 successful Business Intelligence projects delivered over the last ten years, COA Solutions is one of the UK's leading Business Intelligence consultancies. We have the proven track record to successfully deliver your project - everything from a health-check on your existing Business Intelligence system to the delivery of a complete Corporate Performance Management solution.

Integration

At COA Solutions we work closely with our housing association customers to understand the business drivers for integration. Our integration technology fosters reusability and flexibility within an organisation where data access, service, application and business process integration is achieved to meet specific business requirements.
