Public sector A journey distinct from B2B

The support you voted is spent with the shops in your area. And you show it to your elected representatives, payment by payment.

You open one envelope per eligible household, with its account and its universal payment card. It can only be spent with the shops selected by the council decision, over the period you set. You see each payment the moment it happens, and your departments report on it with these records.

Example · back-to-school support 350 households

Budget voted: €210,000.00
Per household: €600.00
Spent: €127,800.00

Funds: The local authority
Spends: The eligible resident
Receives: The selected shops

A purchase at an authorised shop in the municipality accepted

An online purchase outside the area declined

Amounts given as examples.

The starting point

Three frictions everyone knows.

They have nothing to do with the goodwill of your teams. It is the circuit that is badly laid out.

The support paid out leaves the area

A transfer to a current account is spent online, elsewhere, on something else. The local effect you voted for evaporates.

Paper vouchers are costly and stigmatising

Printing, distribution, reimbursing the shopkeepers. And a separate queue at the till for whoever pays with a voucher.

The report to elected representatives is rebuilt by hand

Six months on, your departments add up reimbursements to say what the support paid for, and where.

What you decide

Four settings, and the budget holds on its own.

You do not have to watch expenses one by one: whatever falls outside the frame is refused at the moment of payment.

The amount per household

€600.00 per eligible household, in one go or in several instalments.

The selected shops

The traders of the municipality enrolled in the programme, or categories: food, energy, school supplies.

The period

Back-to-school, winter, the budget year. After the end date, the balance returns to the authority.

The means opened

Card in store, online payment with the selected shops or not, cash withdrawals or not.

Setting up

Four steps, and a single point of contact.

The timeline follows your decision-making process: we set it with your departments from the first conversation.

See the integration

You describe the programme

The purpose of the support, the people it serves, the expenditure concerned and what you must be able to show. We start from your council decision.

We set the framework with your departments

Decision-making process, public procurement conditions, points requiring approval. Nothing is proposed before.

The accounts open

One account and one card per eligible household, in its name. The selected shops are enrolled.

You track, you report

Every payment in real time: amount, shop, date, rule applied. The report to elected representatives relies on these records.

On the accounting side, each payment arrives with its amount, its supplier, its date and the rule applied. Your exports can be used as they are for closing and for an audit.

This journey is not treated as the B2B one. Public procurement conditions and the applicable obligations are examined before any proposal. The feasibility of the programme is established with your departments before any commitment.
