Platform modules

Six core modules

Each module is configured for your sector. Replace the tools that aren't earning their keep — one module at a time.

Finance Module

End-to-end financial management with UK regulatory compliance built in.

Invoicing, purchase orders, approvals — full procure-to-pay workflow
VAT and MTD — digital links, VAT return assembly, HMRC submission-ready
IR35 and contractor compliance — status determination, payment tracking
Live cost tracking — committed costs, accruals, forecasting by department or project
Automated month-end — reconciliation in hours, not days
Financial reporting — board packs, variance analysis, cash flow projections
AI-native

AI that's native, not bolted on

Built into every module from day one. Not a chatbot stuck on the side of a legacy platform.

Natural language queries

Ask questions in plain English. "How are we tracking against budget this quarter?" "Which employees have expiring certifications next month?"

Ask. Don't search.

Document analysis

AI reads contracts, specifications, compliance documents. Extracts clauses, payment terms, obligations, renewal dates, and risk indicators.

Reads contracts so you don't have to

Predictive analytics

Cost forecasting from operational trends. Resource planning from workload patterns. Risk flagging from compliance data and supplier performance.

See problems before they happen

Compliance monitoring

Regulatory deadlines tracked and alerts generated. Draft returns pre-populated. Certification expiries flagged. Compliance scores calculated automatically.

Never miss a compliance deadline

Intelligent reporting

Board reports auto-generated. Financial narratives drafted from live data. Compliance summaries compiled for auditors and regulatory bodies.

Reports that write themselves

AI-enhanced, not AI-dependent

Your current SaaS vendors are bolting AI features onto decade-old platforms and raising your price to pay for it. Generic AI platforms want to replace your tools entirely — but they don't understand HASAWA, RIDDOR, or sector-specific compliance. Replace uses AI as infrastructure, not as the product. If an AI provider has a bad day, your operations team still runs month-end, your managers still file reports, your compliance data still flows. The platform runs independently. AI makes it smarter — it doesn't make it fragile.

Mobile-First

Designed for the field, not just the office

Not a desktop app squeezed onto a phone. A genuine mobile-first experience that works offline, with large touch targets for hands in gloves, high contrast for outdoor visibility, and zero reliance on on-site WiFi.

  • Full offline capability — syncs when connectivity returns
  • Inspections, timesheets, task updates, compliance logs — all from your phone
  • Smart conflict resolution for offline changes

Unique Differentiator

The GDPR Resolution Engine

Regulated industries require long-term retention of operational and safety records. UK GDPR requires deletion of personal data. When the same record is both, you have a legal conflict that spreadsheets and generic SaaS tools cannot resolve.

Personal data

Home address, next of kin, bank details. GDPR retention applies. Deleted when employment ends.

Operational data

Safety records, inspection logs, compliance certificates, audit trails. Retained per regulatory requirements.

Dual-purpose

Record splits into two: personal identity (GDPR deletion) and operational fact (pseudonymised, retained per regulation).

Most SaaS platforms force you to choose between compliance and data protection. Alden Foundry's pseudonymisation approach resolves both obligations simultaneously, validated with specialist legal counsel before deployment.

Work this novel qualifies for UK R&D tax relief — the GDPR resolution architecture represents a genuine advance in the field, not routine software development. The assessment estimates qualifying expenditure and indicative benefit.

Compliance data must be retained for years — sometimes indefinitely. If your SaaS vendor changes terms, raises prices, or goes bust — where does that data go? With Alden Foundry, it stays in your infrastructure. You own it. Always.

Delivery

Scoped to your firm

Replace is built around your specific needs — modules, regulatory scope, and priorities.

Modular by design

You don't buy the whole platform on day one. We start with the modules that address your highest-pain areas — typically Finance and Operations — and expand from there.

Phased delivery

Replace is delivered in sprints, scoped by the assessment. You see progress every few weeks, start cancelling software subscriptions as modules go live, and have full control over scope and pace.

Your Connect investment carries forward

50–100% of your Connect build fee credits toward Replace. Your data, integrations, and the knowledge we built during Connect all carry forward. You're never paying twice for the same work.

Designed to cost less than your current stack

Replace is designed so that the software subscriptions you cancel offset the investment. We track verified savings against your assessment baseline. A 15–25% savings share (capped at 1.5x build fee) means our incentives are aligned with yours.

You own everything

The platform, the data, and the code — they're yours. Your data stays in UK infrastructure. If you part ways with us, you keep everything. No per-seat licensing. No vendor lock-in. No hostage data.
