The hardest part of managing a budget is putting it into action.

While the pressure is on during budget season, the spending that happens everyday is what brings a district closer to its goals. Allovue Manage makes budgeting a continuous process where everyone can monitor spending.

Track your progress and compare spending to previous years.
WHAT DISTRICTS LOVE

Track spending, not spreadsheets

The time spent by administrators chasing spreadsheets leaves little room for meaningful analysis. With the ability to bookmark certain groups of accounts, summarize transactions, and set reminders, Allovue Manage makes it easy for budget owners to stay engaged in financial management throughout the year.

Make sense of every dollar

Drafting and finalizing budgets is always a dash to the finish line, but monitoring spending and account balances throughout the year is just as important. Allovue Manage makes this work more accessible because data is searchable in plain English and clear visuals help monitor spending, encumbrances, and fund balances.

Take your ERP to new heights

Only a handful of people have direct access to up-to-date spending information from a district’s ERP. Because Allovue Manage fetches information from your ERP each night, budget owners can always interact with up-to-date information—without fear of “breaking” a spreadsheet or overwriting data.

Return time to central office

Budget owners like principals ask a lot of questions: ”Am I over budget? Am I on track? Am I spending money the way that I planned?” Allovue Manage takes the burden of fielding these questions off of the Central Office by creating access to budget and spending information that’s transparent and self-service.

It’s very hard to include administrators in the budget management process when they cannot easily monitor resource use over the year.

Accountability for budgets and spending erodes when the information is hard to understand or frustrating to access.

Spending management ensures that budgets are implemented as planned.

Responsible resource management is about having a plan, putting it into action, and evaluating whether those spending choices were the right ones. This last piece—monitoring resource use throughout the year—makes the whole concept of budgeting a process of continuous improvement.

Allovue Manage helps budget owners manage their budgets with accuracy in a user-friendly format. It provides an easy way to filter and analyze spending and correlate dollars with outcomes.

Make budget Q&A self-service

Most districts are well acquainted with the back-and-forth sharing of account codes and numbers. With Allovue Manage, budget information is displayed in clear visuals, stored in the cloud, and always accessible.

Identify unspent funds

Encouraging accountability for spending can have surprising outcomes. One Allovue Manage district located $2M in unspent Title I funds and repurposed those dollars to extend the summer school program.

Eliminate transaction errors

Errors buried in your ERP leave valuable dollars on the table. One Allovue Manage district found a duplicate entry for transportation and used the $200,000 to fund another department’s request.

School-level empowerment allows leaders to be more effective in delivering programs to support the needs of students. One district improved collaboration with principals across 74 schools with Allovue Manage. 

Budget Management That’s Less Intimidating

Allovue Manage helps budget owners put the budget plan into action and evaluate spending decisions throughout the year. Keeping everyone informed keeps spending on track.

Timely information at your fingertips means your district can react to problems while it still matters and changes can still be made proactively, rather than after the budget year has ended.
