Liquidlogic Integrated Finance Technology (LIFT)
The Liquidlogic Integrated Finance Technology (LIFT) module has been designed to support users across the entire Liquidlogic Children’s platform, enabling the true costs associated with a child and family to be understood.
Designed by social care and children’s services finance experts, LIFT controls payments and budgets, ensuring maximum transparency whilst providing a high-level of financial configuration to cater for the range of services commissioned by the local authority.
The LIFT module is built on the same intuitive platform as the Liquidlogic Children’s Social Care System (LCS), Early Years & Education System (EYES) and the Early Help Module (EHM). It is fully integrated and provides key benefits such as single login access, familiar workflow processes, and a one financial view of a child across the portfolio, both from a practice and financial perspective.
An Integrated Gateway to Finance
Liquidlogic’s integrated finance hub within the children’s platform is consistently accessed via the main screen for each person.
The finance hub presents details of all services and the associated costs that have been provisioned for a child across all Liquidlogic modules. These views are fully configurable with a range of detailed permissions set within the system, providing a holistic picture of the complete range of all services provisioned to each child across the Liquidlogic platform.
LIFT simplifies the configuration and working practices with the following features:
- Automatically assigns the correct budget code to services provisioned
- Ability to implement highly configurable budget authorisation workflows
- Extensive commitment reporting to monitor budgets by financial years or accountancy periods
- Seamlessly makes payments against services that have been approved and provisioned
- Automatically creates pending Payment Adjustments for finance users to review and confirm to ensure that under and over payments are processed in a timely and efficient manner
- Interfaces to Oracle Financials, SAP and Unit4 Business World (Agresso) are all currently exporting payments to Corporate Finance for Liquidlogic customers
- Sector specific additional payment functionality which permits users to make payments by petty cash, corporate credit/debit card or vouchers where required
- Supports users to maintain an asset register of the equipment that they loan/provide , with additional workflow for managing the delivery, collection, and maintenance of equipment items
- Further workflow present enabling users to monitor contact performance for providers who have services provisioned with them.
