all:together
Complete and efficient online placement management, from student to teacher to employer, including digital health and safety, employer engagement and reporting.
Designed and delivered in partnership with education and business, all:together provides learning organisers with a central web-based system that is easily kept up-to-date to facilitate reliable, accurate and consistent information about work placements and programmes.
Students can use all:together to search for diplomas, apprenticeships and other work placements, and add these to their own individual "wishlists", giving them more choice and control over their future.
Schools have full access to look after and track their own students' placements; monitor health and safety checks; create specific reports; and where contact is required, we have incorporated an inbuilt messaging system so that teachers can message learning organisers.
By providing login access to employers, all:together supports and encourages their engagement, letting them monitor forthcoming placements and health and safety visits, and track current student progress. They can even take part in online applications if they choose to.
With numerous and frequent feature upgrades and enhancements per year, all:together is the placement management tool of choice now and going forward.
I have been very impressed with Nicholas Associates Software. We went from tender to a fully live system in just a few months, and I know I can rely on the team to supply me with a fully managed service, hit timescales, hit budget, respond to our needs quickly and deliver high quality work. I am sure we will continue to work with them for the foreseeable future

all:info
The all:together system gives you the power of custom MI reporting.
We understand that you need the flexibility to interrogate your data in whatever way you wish. Our reporting suite, all:info, helps you do just that. We offer a number of solutions, from common predefined reports to custom-built charts and graphs.
At the click of a button you can look at placement booking activity across different sectors and age-groups; view employer engagement activity; see when peoples' CRB checks are about to expire; or just keep an eye on who is logging in.
For more advanced users we offer a "Report Builder" tool so you can create (and save) your own reports, graphs and charts, then export to popular file formats such as XML, CSV, PDF, Excel and Word.
all:info puts your data at your finger tips, enabling better decision making for schools, employers and learning organisers.
all:ears
We pride ourselves on customer service so you as our client can be reassured of excellent response times and support - when you call we are "all ears".
Whatever the question is we are more than happy to assist and help out. We listen carefully to your software problems, asking questions in order to diagnose the problem, whilst ensuring that you never feel at all patronised.
Our helpdesk people are the same technical experts who develop the system, so they can quickly install, modify, diagnose, support, and train our clients on each of our online web applications both remotely and on site.
We hold regular feedback sessions with our clients and their stakeholders to continue to improve and enhance the system, which is great value for money as those upgrades come as part of the contract.
“ One of the main pieces of feedback we get from clients is how pleased they are with our customer service, how responsive we are, and that they speak to the same people, week after month after year ”

all:access
At the centre of all:together is our clear, uncomplicated administration resource, all:access.
This allows administrators to manage the entire system, including all student, school, placement, health and safety and employer data. If an employer needs to be risk-assessed before a placement can be authorised, all:together will automatically inform admin that a visit needs to be conducted. You can choose to provide a placement management service for your schools or let your schools manage themselves... all:access allows you to control how your schools and employers access and use the system via a "preferences" panel.
all:safe
Linking everything together is our extensive health and safety support system, all:safe which ensures all employers are risk assessed and approved.
Utilising a series of easy-to-complete forms, which are fully customisable, all:safe monitors the health and safety status of all employers with requests that can be viewed easily to show notifications of forthcoming visits, expired visits and information on who is responsible for checking any employer.
all:safe-remote
A useful and popular addition, our remote solution allows you to capture key information digitally right there and then at the employer's premises.
This remote system runs on a lightweight compact notebook, complete with a digital pen to take signatures. At the click of a button the notebook synchronises with the all:safe database ensuring all records are up-to-date - eliminating the need for manual input further down the line. The solution is primarily used to collect health and safety data, but why not also collect that all important employer engagement data at the same time.
all:engage
A single point to manage all of your engagement activities with employers and schools...
As you deliver your work related learning programmes you inevitably build up a hefty bank of employer / provider records. all:engage extends the core placement management system to put the power of online CRM at your fingertips.
Create and manage your events and programmes (such as Enterprise Days, STEM and Right 2 Read); book employers, schools, students, teachers and volunteers onto those programmes; check peoples' CRB status; identify business speakers; arrange e-Mentoring sessions; log all activity and communication with your employers and schools; and quickly create reports and charts.
In addition to that, since the system uses a central database, all work placement and health and safety data will automatically be linked to the correct employer records.
With the release of all:engage there is simply no need to duplicate your employer records over multiple back office systems - all:together brings all of your key data into one centralised database, accurate, consistent and available 24/7.
New all:engage key features include:
- Ability to view all activity done with a school or employer
- Show linkages between schools and employers
- Report of event / programme activity, for example: gender, key stage, ethnicity, etc
- Ability to mail merge from the system
- Facility to record, track and remind about CRB checks
- Customise your own system alerts and reminders
- Ability to move / copy staff records to a different company
- Customisable employer/provider engagement profile (simply tick which initiatives the organisation offers)
- One system with data validation, reducing or eliminate record duplication
- Communication logs
- Automatic calculation of event / programme costs and income
- Event / programme status reports
... and much, much more.
