See agency spend and suppliers across a MAT or care group

Connect+ brings the agencies and workers a school, Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) or care group uses into one central record. It gives you a view of agency spend at group level or site level, with dashboards for spend, margin and performance that update at the point of booking.

What gets hard when supply is spread across sites

A group that books temporary staff through several agencies across several sites tends to hold that information in several places. That makes it harder to answer simple questions: what are we spending, with which supplier, at which site, and what evidence do we hold of the staff supplied?

Connect+ is built for schools, MATs and care groups that want clearer access to workforce data and supply chain insight.

What you can see in Connect+

One central record. All agencies and workers are brought into one record, giving a view across every school or residential setting. View at top level or site level, with spend aggregated.

Reporting. Dashboards for spend, margin and performance are updated at the point of booking. You can create automated rules and tags so reporting fits your setting.

Consistent processes. Connect+ is used at school, group and board level to keep reporting and processes consistent, with permission layers that give each person the access they need.

Supplier control. Choose partners based on performance, not restriction. View best value per job category across your school or group.

Rate cards and supplier lists. Connect+ includes rate card and PSL management.

Safer recruitment reporting. A single central record supports GCA and framework reporting and gives clear, auditable evidence of the staff supplied. You can re-book quality staff across your sites.

GCA and PCA automation. Connect+ includes GCA and PCA automation.

Less manual admin. Connect+ uses AI to take on booking and calendar management, central record updating and data aggregation. You connect your email and sync, with minimal setup.

Who uses it

Connect+ is for schools, MATs and care groups. Typical roles are the people who oversee procurement, staffing or compliance across a group, and the people at each site who book staff.
