Abacus Overview

What is Abacus?

Abacus is an award-winning nursery management software which allows child carers to concentrate on providing a loving environment for children. By taking the time-consuming nature out of administration tasks and invoicing, it allows settings to focus on what they do best. Like every child, your setting is unique and the difference Abacus makes to the way you work becomes clearer over time. Here are just 4 ways in which our software can transform the way you manage everyday tasks: Data security With so much sensitive data, you need to be sure it’s all held safely and cannot be lost easily. With Abacus, you can safeguard personal data 24/7. You can even lock down parts of the system so that only certain members of staff can access it. All this makes it much more secure than a paper-based system. Staff management Abacus allows you to store staff information, schedule shifts, manage ratios and diarise training, enabling you to always stay on top of your team management. Super quick invoicing Abacus calculates free entitlement, childcare vouchers and more, so the invoices parents receive are always accurate. Parents can receive invoices straight to their inbox so you can save on printing, too! Remarkable reporting With Abacus nursery management software, you can run reports to make sure nothing gets forgotten. Whether it’s outstanding payments, free entitlement allocation, registers, milk or occupancy, you’ll always be on top of things.
