The challenge today

  • Disconnected records and duplicate capturing
  • Manual approvals and incomplete evidence
  • Limited visibility from funding to verified outcomes
Functional scope

The work behind the solution

Proposed product scope. Confirm delivered functionality, configuration and integration readiness during discovery.

Functional scope

  • Budgets by funder/programme/provider/cohort, cost centres, procurement, suppliers, purchase orders, contracts, commitments, expenses, invoices, stipend/allowance/provider/facilitator payments, approvals, general ledger mapping, reconciliations, finance reporting, audit trails

Connected operations

  • PayMesh payment initiation/orchestration, bulk disbursements, status and reconciliation where integration exists

Connected operations

  • Alerts for duplicate claims, mismatched attendance, payment anomalies and budget overruns

Connected operations

  • Never imply unauthorised automatic movement of money
The golden thread

Permission boundary
Assigned programme and records only; cross-party sharing requires explicit authorisation.

Review exceptions before progressing

Website demonstration of intended workflows. No real records, approvals, credentials or payments are processed.

Intelligence with human authority

Deterministic policy checks establish eligibility and approvals. Analytics highlights trends, capacity and anomalies. AI can summarise documents and recommend action against authorised evidence; an accountable person retains consequential decision authority.

Integration boundaries

Proposed governed exchange with identity, messaging, accounting and sector reporting systems. OneCortex, PayMesh and HustleHub relationships are described as intended integrations, not verified connections. Confirm scope, authorisation and readiness during discovery.

Reporting measures

KPI definitions, not claimed performance results.

  • Budget variance: actual plus commitments versus approved budget
  • Claims awaiting review and payment reconciliation
  • Duplicate-claim exceptions and unresolved balances
Questions

Before you choose a solution

The scope below describes connected records and governed workflows. Delivery scope, configuration and operational readiness must be confirmed during discovery rather than assumed from website examples.
