Allocate Software launches new e-Expenses module

29 October 2009


Allocate Software plc (AIM:ALL), the leading supplier of NHS e-Rostering and Bank Staff management solutions in the UK Healthcare market, is pleased to announce the launch of its new e-Expenses module.

The e-Expenses is a new addition to the MAPS Health Suite will reduce the administration involved in entering, approving and processing claims, whilst delivering more accurate payment of expenses.

The module, to be officially launched at the upcoming Leading workforce thinking, NHS Employers' annual conference and exhibition 2009, has been developed in partnership with our NHS customers, to deliver efficiency savings and a better service for staff by eliminating the tedious, manual processes involved in expense claims.

We understand the complexity of specific payment rules and the variations that occur between the Trusts. We have been working in partnership with existing customers, including Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust and Barts and The London NHS Trust, to ensure this e-Expenses module is robust yet flexible.

David Pickworth, Payroll Project Manager, Kent and Medway NHS Payroll Services, who worked with Allocate Software on the development comments: "The partnership between ourselves and Allocate Software to complete their e-Expenses solution is a significant initiative. The company already provide e-Rostering and Bank management solutions within our region and so the e-Expenses initiative is an obvious next step building on the platform already in place. Particularly significant will be leveraging the existing ESR interfaces to ensure accurate payment and reduction in both paperwork and administration."

Unlike other e-expense solutions, which tailor a generic system for the NHS, e-Expenses is built from the ground up to solve just the NHS expenses problem. The new module streamlines and automates the process, enabling staff to quickly create and submit their expense claims, which are sent directly to managers and payroll for approval and payment. This means that all the complexity of NHS expense claims is supported, without any confusing functionality that is not relevant to the NHS.
