Carn Software was formed by the current Managing Director in October 1994, principally to service the software needs of the church and charity sector.
We are now one of the principal providers of Gift Aid software and Hospice Lottery Software in the UK. Gift Wise enables Diocese to manage the tax reclaimed from the Inland Revenue via the Gift Aid Scheme. This software is now industry standard in the Anglican and RC Church in the UK. Approximately, 75% of all the UK Catholic Gift Aid’s, amounting to the sum of 12 million pounds, are processed using our GiftWise software. We also now offer completely online solutions for our customers with our GiftWise online and Parishpence online applications. This allows customers to process their GiftAid claims even easier than before with our powerful, cost effective solutions.
We also work with schools and parishes to assist in their accounts needs. In 1996, we were approached by a local authority to produce a software package for administration of school funds. The resulting software, FundsMaster proved very successful and is now in use in a large number of primary and secondary schools.
In addition to Gift Wise there are numerous parishes up and down the UK using our ParishBase, ParishRegister and ParishPence packages to assist them in recording information about their parish. This allows them to keep in touch with their community of parishioners with ease.
Carn Software continue to develop software which meets their clients needs and specification.
