Introduction

Keystone, a small town, had been facing major obstacles in their financial management processes. Their previous accounting software had become obsolete over time, hindering transparency, data accuracy, and efficiency.

When Cassandra, Keystone's Finance Officer, took up the position, she realized that the existing software was outdated, making it hard for them to use the software effectively. The system had suffered from data inaccuracies, making financial management processes challenging for staff.

The Solution

Keystone opted to start fresh, leaving behind their previous financial system and look for a software made exclusively for government. After talking with neighboring communities, gWorks' Core solution was identified as the perfect fit to automate Keystone's processes and improve operational efficiency.

Benefits Realized

Resourceful Onboarding and Support

While implementing the software, Cassandra and her staff had access to several resources that came in handy while familiarizing themselves with gWorks. A supportive support staff and handy resources facilitated the transition with ease. Cassandra had access to a library of resources that helped them tackle questions they encountered along the way. The resources were practical and function-oriented, enabling them to take full advantage of the software's features.

Time Savings and Efficiency

One notable outcome of the adoption of gWorks' software was its remarkable impact on efficiency and time savings. Prior to implementing the software, staff spent almost two days every week on claims. With the adoption of the software, the time spent on claims reduced significantly, taking only half a day. This incredible time savings allowed Cassandra to allocate their valuable time to other critical projects.

Cassandra expressed her satisfaction with the time savings, stating,

Since we started using gWorks, I noticed that I'm spending a lot less time doing everything. It used to take me a day and a half to do claims for the town, and now I can enter them in gWorks in just a few hours. So that's a day that I can now spend on other things like putting together an agenda, putting together a board packet, making sure that we're being transparent with the information that's being presented at town board meetings.

The time saved had a significant impact during the crucial time of setting up board meetings. Cassandra highlighted that setting up a board meeting requires several tasks, such as getting claims put together, preparing informational packets, and creating an agenda. Additionally, accommodating last-minute requests from board members can be challenging. However, with the extra day saved, Cassandra could handle these responsibilities with ease, ensuring that all necessary tasks were completed promptly and efficiently.

Financial Accuracy and Control

By leveraging gWorks' software, Keystone was able to guarantee financial accuracy and control while maintaining transparency. The start-fresh approach to accounting ensured that the numbers were accurate from the onset, eliminating the risks of using historical data that may have errors. Keystone's finance officer could now trust the data and make informed decisions that positively impacted the entire community. The improved financial accuracy also enhanced transparency, fostering trust between the municipality and its residents.

Streamlined Financial Management Processes

With gWorks' solutions, Keystone saw significant improvements in their financial management processes. The automation and intuitive features offered by the software reduced manual data entry and streamlined tasks such as budgeting, procurement, and reporting. This not only saved time but also reduced the chances of errors that could occur during manual data processing.

Community Impact and Future Planning

With the improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and productivity, Cassandra could now focus on other critical administrative tasks, such as planning, procurement, preparing budgets, and grant applications. The newfound efficiency enabled Cassandra to take full advantage of opportunities that previously had to take a backseat. With accurate financial data and the ability to make informed decisions, Cassandra was able to contribute more to community development and plan for the future effectively.

Conclusion

Keystone's partnership with gWorks provided a transformational shift in their financial management systems. By starting fresh and leveraging gWorks' solutions, Keystone was able to achieve remarkable time savings, efficiency, and accuracy, greatly boosting productivity. Additionally, Keystone regained control over their finances, enabling them to make more informed decisions that positively impacted the entire community. Leveraging gWorks' solutions, Keystone Financial Management follows best practices, ensuring efficient compliance and paving the way for future growth and success. The time saved allowed Cassandra to allocate more time to critical tasks such as preparing board meetings, fostering transparency, and effectively managing last-minute requests, ultimately contributing to the success of the town.
