Edge Grant Billing Systems is a software platform that can automate the grant billing allocation process by providing tools and features to help organizations track and manage their grant finances.
The Edge platform solves challenges for non-profit organizations and higher education institutions that struggle with grant billing, managing grant budgets, having limited staff resources, and the ability to provide timely financial information.
Edge Grant Billing Systems is a software platform that can assist with grant allocation by providing tools and features to help organizations track and manage their grant finances.
Four specific ways that Edge Grant Billing Systems can help with grant allocation :
Budgeting and Forecasting: The software can help organizations create and manage a budget for their grant, allowing them to allocate funds and resources in a way that aligns with the grant's goals and objectives.
Expense Tracking: Edge Grant Billing Systems can help organizations track and manage expenses related to the grant, including supplies, equipment, personnel costs, and any other expenses.
Reporting: The software can generate reports on grant finances, including budget reports, expenditure reports, and progress reports, which can be used to monitor the grant's financial performance and ensure compliance with grant guidelines.
Compliance: Edge Grant Billing Systems can help organizations ensure compliance with grant guidelines and regulations, including those related to spending and reporting.
EdgeGBS has a variable monthly pricing model. We offer a monthly price per grant based on the number of grants a client needs to service, with a minimal license and service fee.
Each client's costs are based on the number of monthly expense transactions and payroll records we manage, the number of grant allocation transactions we generate, and the frequency of the billing.

The EdgeGBS platform is based on importing an MS Excel export from your General Ledger accounting platform. EdgeGBS will ingest this Excel file (template provided).
Grant billing allocation is the process of determining how the organization's available finances are allocated and divided among its various departments and activities.
It is a critical business process for many non-profit organizations that rely on public and private funds to deliver their missions. Grant billing allocation plays a crucial role in the organization's overall financial health, as it ensures that it uses its funds efficiently and effectively.
However, it is complex, time-intensive, labor-intensive, and repetitive.
Grant billing allocation automation is a technology that helps organizations streamline their grant billing and payment processes, resulting in significant time and cost savings. But beyond its obvious financial benefits, grant billing allocation automation can also help reduce staff turnover by reducing the burden of manual, time-consuming tasks and increasing employee satisfaction.
One of the main reasons staff turnover is high in many organizations is due to burnout and job dissatisfaction. When employees are bogged down by tedious and repetitive tasks, they are less likely to feel fulfilled in their work and more likely to start looking for opportunities elsewhere. Grant billing and payment processes can be particularly prone to this type of burnout, as they often involve manually tracking and reconciling multiple grants, invoices, and payment schedules.
By automating these processes with technology, organizations can free up their employees from these time-consuming tasks and allow them to focus on more meaningful and rewarding work. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and, in turn, reduced staff turnover.
