Hafod are seeking a more streamlined systems landscape, where we rely less on point solutions and multiple integrations between various systems which prove to be cumbersome for colleagues. We require a new Finance Management System to better support our care and support colleagues, as well as housing.

Hafod has adopted a cloud first approach to our technology platforms and as such as seeking a Software as a Service (SaaS) finance system as part of our tender. This approach is clearly outlined in our Digital Strategy.

The key deliverables for this project are:

-Implementation of a financial management system.

-Seamless/improved integration with our new Housing System to support the flow of data between systems.

-Improved reporting capabilities for better insight on our data.

-A system that will better support our Care and Support teams.
