Lowry chooses Xledger as its new finance system

Xledger, the cloud finance software provider, is now supporting one of the UK’s most celebrated arts centres as it continues to grow its impact across the performing and visual arts.

Located at the heart of the regenerated Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, Lowry is a registered charity that welcomes audiences from across the country. Since opening in April 2000, it has welcomed more than 18.5 million visitors, bringing together theatre, performance, visual art, learning, and community engagement under one roof.

As an arts organisation with multiple venues, income streams, and reporting requirements, Lowry required a finance platform that could provide stronger visibility, greater automation, and a more connected approach to financial management. Xledger was selected for its ability to streamline core finance processes, improve reporting across funds, projects and strategic priorities, and provide budget holders with real-time access to the information they need.

Through Xledger’s true-cloud platform, Lowry will benefit from automated purchase-to-pay processes, OCR invoice capture, mobile approvals, automated bank reconciliation, integrated reporting, and multi-dimensional analysis. The system will also support fund accounting and project-level reporting, helping Lowry manage complex funding, venue, and event-related activity with greater accuracy and control.
