How Vali handles it
We log in and out of a different system for every client
One practice login opens every client company. Switch between clients without signing out.
We can't see every client's VAT201 deadline in one place, so some slip
The practice dashboard lists every client's next VAT201 deadline, overdue bank reconciliations and urgent items on one screen.
Paying full price per client eats our margin
Your practice account is free. Each client company is billed to you at a wholesale dealer rate below retail, and you bill your client at your own rate.
Clients take forever to send us their documents and receipts
Send a client a secure upload link. Their documents land in your to-do list, and the AI receipt scanner drafts the bills from the photos.
We can't tell which of our staff changed what in which client
Give each staff member access to specific clients only. Every change is recorded against the person and the client.
Handing a client over, or taking one on, is messy
Every client company is kept completely separate, never pooled with other clients, so a handover is clean.

How Vali handles it
Quoting a job takes too long and every quote is worked out differently
Costing calculators set up for your products ask a few questions about the job and write the material, labour and overhead lines, showing the working behind every number.
We only find out what a job really cost after it's finished
Job cards cost materials as they're issued and labour per operator at their own rate, so the cost builds up while the job runs.
Production and sales orders live in different places
Release, start and hold production straight from the customer's sales order, and see how much has been made against what was ordered.
We run out of material halfway through a job
The material requirements and reorder reports show what each job needs against what you hold, across all your locations.
Custom and one-off orders don't fit our standard bills of materials
Start a job card with no bill of materials (BOM), adjust materials and steps for that order only, then save it as a new BOM if you'll make it again.
Someone changed a bill of materials and the job was built the old way
A job card warns you when its bill of materials changed after the job was raised, and lets you pull the new materials in.
Stock on the system never matches the floor
Materials can be issued automatically when a job starts or finishes, so stock moves without anyone typing issue slips.

How Vali handles it
Our stock counts never match the system
Stocktake sheets and variance reports show exactly what's different and post the corrections.
Stock is spread across warehouses, shelves and vans
Track stock by location down to shelf and bin, and transfer between locations.
We need to trace batches, expiry dates or serial numbers
Batch and serial tracking follows every item from goods received to the customer.
We pay suppliers for goods that never arrived
Purchase orders are matched against goods received and the supplier's bill before anything is paid.
Supplier prices and lead times live in spreadsheets
Keep several suppliers per product, each with their own price and lead time.
Customers pay late and nobody chases them
Debtor ageing shows who is overdue, and month-end statements go out to every customer in one run.

How Vali handles it
We spend our evenings writing quotes
Quote from your own product and labour list, and turn an accepted quote into an invoice with one click.
Finished jobs get forgotten and never invoiced
Quotes, timesheets and invoices sit together, so work that's done but not billed is easy to spot.
Customer emails get lost across everyone's phones
Vali's built-in email client files every email under the customer's company, shares mailboxes such as info@ across the team, and runs on your phone as an app.
See Communications and CRMWe don't know which jobs actually make money
Record time and materials against the job and see what it cost against what you charged.
Slips from the hardware store go missing
Photograph a receipt on site and the AI receipt scanner drafts the bill for you.
Customers are slow to pay
See who owes what and for how long, and send statements to everyone in one run.

Hours worked never all make it onto the invoice
Timesheets record time against clients and jobs so it can be billed.
Client requests arrive by email and get lost
Turn an email or a whole discussion into a tracked task in one click, with a warning if a similar task already exists.
See Communications and CRMRetainers and support contracts are invoiced by hand every month
Recurring invoices raise themselves on schedule.
We pay for Zoom, Outlook and a calendar app on top of our accounts
Email, a shared calendar and video meetings are built into Vali. Start a video call from the email thread, with no Zoom or Teams account needed.
See Communications and CRMCompany passwords are shared in spreadsheets and chats
The company password vault encrypts passwords on your own device, and you can share a single entry with one colleague.
We worry about who can see sensitive client information
Roles decide exactly which screens each person gets, and two-step sign-in can be required for chosen roles.

We never market to our past clients
Built-in CRM and email marketing: describe the audience in plain English, get a drafted campaign, and send it gradually from your own mailbox, with unsubscribes handled.

The Money Value report, a Vali report built for owners, answers one question from your live books: is the business getting richer?

Stock levels on the system are wrong
Stock levels, movements and a reorder report show what you really hold and what to order.
Our product list lives in several places
One product catalogue is shared by sales and purchasing.
Supplier prices keep changing
Keep several suppliers per product, each with their own current price and lead time.
VAT returns are stressful
VAT flows through every invoice and bill, and the VAT201 return is produced from the books.
Enquiry emails pile up unanswered
Inbox rules file mail automatically and capture enquiries as CRM leads, so nothing sits in the inbox.

How Vali handles it
We need a proper learning management system (LMS), not paper or a generic course tool
Vali includes a full learning management system (LMS): build courses with assessments, issue certificates and qualifications, and give learners their own student portal.
Many of our learners don't have an email address
Learners can sign in with their ID number instead.

A one-click link from your website drops a learner straight into the right course.
Marking takes too long
AI-assisted marking suggests a mark and feedback for you to confirm.

We can't see whether a site is making or losing money until the end
Timesheets, materials and supplier bills are recorded against the job, so the cost builds up as the site runs.

Costing calculators set up for your products ask a few questions and write the cost lines, showing the working behind every number.
Supplier invoices don't match what was delivered to site
Purchase orders are matched against goods received and the supplier's bill before anything is paid.
