Top 4 Reasons to Adopt PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite in 2023

ARTICLE  — Charter schools are independently operated schools that receive public funding and must adhere to regulations set by their charter agreements. They face unique challenges when managing finances and resources, making it essential to have efficient and automated systems in place. One such solution is PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite, which provides a unified cloud solution for automated fund accounting, grant management, budgetary controls, and real-time reporting. Here are the top four reasons why charter schools should adopt cloud ERP in 2023:

1. 1. Streamline Financial Management
      One of the biggest challenges charter schools face is managing their finances. They have to keep track of multiple funding sources and ensure compliance with regulations, which can be time-consuming and complicated. However, cloud ERP systems like PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite provide a seamlessly integrated and automated solution that can streamline financial management processes. According to a report by Deloitte, cloud ERP can increase productivity by up to 80% and reduce errors by up to 37%.
   2. Automate Grant Management
      Charter schools often rely on grants to supplement their funding. However, grant management can be time-consuming, involving tracking spending, reporting to funders, and complying with grant requirements. By adopting a cloud ERP system, like PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite, charter schools can automate grant management processes and reduce the risk of non-compliance. According to a study by TechValidate, 94% of organizations that implemented cloud ERP saw an improvement in compliance.
   3. Improve Budgetary Controls
      Charter schools must operate within a tight budget, and overspending can result in financial penalties or even closure. Using a cloud ERP system, like PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite, charter schools can improve their budgetary controls by tracking spending in real-time, setting alerts for overspending, and generating reports on spending trends. This can help schools make informed decisions about where to allocate resources and prevent overspending. According to a report by Nucleus Research, cloud ERP can provide a return on investment of 2.1 times the initial cost.
   4. Real-Time Reporting
      Charter schools must regularly report to funders, parents, and other stakeholders. However, manual reporting can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By adopting a cloud ERP system, like PyanGo’s Charter Schools for NetSuite, charter schools can generate real-time reports on finances, grant spending, and other key metrics. Organizations can also identify their cash position by school using PyanGo Fund Accounting. This includes real-time self-balancing, so your P&L statement matches the school’s balance sheet.  These features can help schools make informed decisions, respond to changes in funding, and improve transparency. According to a report by Aberdeen Group, organizations that use cloud ERP are 4.5 times more likely to have real-time visibility into their business.
