industry can match our focus, experience, expertise

Integrated Solutions
Each solution in our portfolio stands alone as
a best-of-breed solution, or can be seamlessly
integrated to create a total enterprise solution for
housing associations. Together, our solutions cover
the full range of an organisation’s requirements,
including our financial management, repair-to-pay
and procurement solution, Integra Open Enterprise.

• Budgeting & forecasting
• Fixed assets
• Expense management
• Stock management

non-financial users and, as with the client-server
interface, it is provided in a user-friendly
and intuitive format with consistency across
all functions.

powerful, industry-leading, cross-modular graphical
reporting and business intelligence tools. These
include functionality to provide multi-dimensional
data analysis, performance monitors, pre-defined
standard reports and business alerts; all ensuring
that information is proactively used, not just
collected.
The integrated and online nature of the application,
coupled with improved business workflow
processes and user-friendly enquiry and report
generation facilities, supports faster access to
management information and improved decision
making.
Integra Repair-to-Pay (R2P)
Integra R2P is configured, rather than customised,
to support your spending policies and procurement
procedures. In a nutshell, Integra R2P is a unique
repair-to-pay solution which integrates with your
existing financial/housing management system
to automate all purchase orders and invoice
processing, from all sources, while updating
financial data and commitment postings. Integra
R2P can help to:
• Increase spending controls
• Post commitments
• Enhance visibility and BI
• Boost accounts payable productivity
• Reduce transaction costs
Integra R2P helps enforce internal controls, such as
electronic requisition approvals by the appropriate
supervisor, using approved vendors, and checking
budgets before permitting purchases.
Through Integra OCR, the system electronically
matches invoices and purchase orders and uses
automated workflow to resolve discrepancies.
Capita IB Solutions employs more than 120
professional people, serving over 500 customers
including Spectrum Housing Group, St George’s
Community Housing and Stevenage Homes.
