Founder @ Ascent • Bespoke software systems for Processes Automation

About the same time last year, we started working on a bespoke fees management system for a pre-school. The business problem:  “…payments reconciliation is a nightmare. We want to automate it” And we: - Started by understanding the as-is processes and identifying the legal and business boundaries - Recommended some changes to the as-is process, which the pre-school convincingly accepted - Started building the system and delivered it in less than 10 weeks (4-5 weeks spent liasioning with the partner bank and getting the system audited by the bank’s security team) - Committed ongoing support and training to admin team at the preschool Outcome: - The first time (Q3 FY2324) the system was used, approx. 20% parents used the system for fees payments - The most recent time (Q2 FY2425) the system has been used, approx. 60% parents used the system for fees payments The system has evolved over the last ~1 year with new capabilities,  bringing the payments reconciliation time down from weeks to hours. The system, now, also manages school visits and pre-admissions workflows for the Preschool. This is how bespoke ERP systems are built bottom-up! This is what we have been doing at Ascent - every single day - since 2009! About Ascent: Ascent works with family managed small and medium scale enterprises to automate their business processes using technology and helping them scale!
