Web Based Design
All that's required to use Gazelle is a workstation with Internet access; there's nothing that needs to be installed or maintained on your Workforce Board's system, and the bandwidth requirements are very low.
The software can be upgraded remotely and without interrupting your work. All additions, modifications and improvements to the system are handled outside of your offices.

Direct Interaction with your Accounting System
The Gazelle application interfaces directly, in real time, with your accounting system, so all information is immediately reflected on your financial statement.

Reduced Manual Processes
Participants and their accounts are managed within Gazelle from creation to deactivation; so manual data entry and paperwork are dramatically reduced. Actions taken by Case Managers and Administrators in Gazelle are instantly reflected in the general accounting system and the financial data they see on Gazelle is acquired directly from the accounting system, so each department is always working with corresponding information.
The software will generate budget reports (by funds and participant, voucher aging and payables reports, and statistical reports regarding performance and results.
Gazelle will give vendors and training providers easy access to detailed, up-to-the-minute information on the status of vouchers, via a public portion of the system available on-line.

Increased Business-Process Controls
The system is configured for your Workforce Board's specific chart of accounts and allows you to track spending at both the fund source and participant levels. Gazelle won't allow a fund source or participant account to go over budget and won't permit a voucher to exceed the amount of available funds.

When new participant accounts are created, Gazelle determines the amount of funds that can be obligated, verifies that the selected fund source has sufficient budget available, allocates the money from the fund source and reserves it to the correct accounts. Authorized personnel may increase or decrease the budget for any account and Gazelle will simultaneously adjust all related entries in the accounting system appropriately.

Gazelle will provide reports showing fund source and participant account spending trends, as well as calculate the total amount of outstanding voucher obligations. The program also enables you to use batch processes to monitor unspent vouchers and recover funds or reduce outstanding obligations by voiding stale vouchers.

The system will alert the appropriate persons when specified events or account activities occur that require action, such as budget or allocation adjustments. These alerts persist until intentionally cleared from the system, at which point Gazelle records the date and the person who cleared the alert.
