Built for the Real Challenges Facing Local Government
Having worked with Local authority finance teams for five decades, we have a true understanding of the factors facing CFOs in local authorities in an increasingly complex environment.
We appreciate that finance leaders must manage rising service demand, tightening budgets and increasing expectations around transparency and financial governance. At the same time, we know many councils are navigating structural change through local government reorganisation, combined authorities and shared service arrangements.
For these reasons we does far more than process transactions. We have designed its feature-rich modules with the clarity, efficiency and confidence that local government CFOs need to combat today’s challenges and to embrace tomorrow’s opportunities.

A Proven Finance System for Complex Organisations
Experience tells us local authorities do not always operate as a single entity. We have implemented Integra for many councils that are managing shared services, partnerships, arms-length organisations and joint ventures.
Integra supports these structures through powerful multi-entity financial management, allowing finance teams to manage multiple organisations, cost centres and reporting structures within a single platform.
This enables consolidated financial visibility across organisations while maintaining the control and autonomy required by individual entities.
As local government continues to evolve, Integra provides a strong financial platform for authorities undergoing restructuring, consolidation or collaboration with neighbouring organisations.
Efficiency Through Intelligent Automation
Finance professionals should spend time analysing financial data and supporting strategic decisions, rather than managing repetitive administrative tasks.
Integra incorporates intelligent automation capabilities designed to reduce the manual effort associated with routine finance processes.
Our intelligent invoice automation module enables organisations to automate the capture, verification and processing of supplier invoices, reducing manual data entry and improving processing efficiency.
Automation capabilities include:
Intelligent invoice capture and validation
Faster invoice processing and improved supplier payment cycles
Straight-through processing for high-volume transactions
AI-assisted bank reconciliation and financial reporting
By reducing administrative workload, finance teams can focus on higher-value activities such as financial planning, forecasting and performance analysis.
The Finance Hub of a Modern Digital Authority
Finance systems are most effective when they connect effectively with the wider organisation.
Integra acts as the financial core of a council’s digital ecosystem and can be extended through our Digital Experience Platform (DXP).
DXP enables local authorities to create connected digital services around the core finance system, including supplier portals, departmental self-service, automated workflows and advanced analytics.
Through flexible integration capabilities, Integra can connect with HR, payroll, procurement and a whole host of other operational systems across the organisation.
Integration with tools such as Microsoft Power BI enables finance teams to unlock deeper insight from their financial data and provide clearer reporting to leadership teams and elected members.
A Lower-Risk Route to Modernisation
Many councils are currently facing pressure to replace legacy finance systems. Integra offers a practical and lower-risk route to modernisation.
The platform combines decades of public sector experience with modern cloud-based capabilities, allowing organisations to adopt new technology while maintaining operational continuity.
Authorities can introduce automation, integration and advanced reporting at a pace that suits their organisation, minimising disruption while delivering tangible improvements in efficiency and insight.
