// CUSTOMER CASE · CUNINA
Cunina invests in
digitalisation.
For more impact.
Discover what tipped the balance for Cunina when choosing Ishtar365 as their partner for digital collaboration and communication — and how, by working smarter, they can channel more resources directly to education.
// WHO IS CUNINA?
35 years of educational opportunities for children.
For nearly 35 years, Cunina has given children in developing countries the chance to develop their talents through education. Founded in 1990 by Sophie Vangheel, Cunina has grown into a recognised NGO with a permanent team and a structured organisation in 7 partner countries.
Since the start, more than 18,000 sponsored children have been put through school and over 250 education projects realised. The organisation has evolved enormously over the past years: processes have grown more extensive, communication with international teams and sponsored children more intensive, and the need for efficiency ever greater.
// TWO COMPLEMENTARY PARTNERS
An ERP and a collaboration platform.
Cunina opted for a combined approach with two complementary IT partners. The combination of a powerful ERP and a state-of-the-art communication and collaboration platform provides a solid digital foundation.
Business Central
Falcon supports the implementation of the modern ERP system. Result: more insight into and control over financial processes.
communication platform
Ishtar365 delivers the digital collaboration platform that connects Belgian and overseas team members, sponsored children and sponsors in a safe, transparent way.
// THE OBJECTIVES
The goal is clear: more resources directly to the sponsored children.
Cunina is opting for a digital transformation with a clear mission: getting more resources to flow directly into education. Every euro saved on administration is an extra euro for a sponsored child in the classroom.
The combined approach with Falcon and Ishtar365 must achieve four concrete goals:
Every euro we save on administration is an extra euro for education.
// THE SOLUTION
One platform that connects everyone.
With Ishtar.Portal, Cunina has a digital collaboration platform that connects the Belgian team, the in-country staff in the 7 partner countries, and thousands of sponsored children and sponsors in a safe and transparent way.
The platform integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — implemented by Falcon Automation — so administrative work is simplified at the source and the focus can stay on the mission: giving children opportunities through education.
Through this combined approach, Cunina strengthens its operation without giving up its commitment to quality and sustainability. A traditional NGO becoming future-proof without losing itself.
We pride ourselves on our minimal management costs. By now working digitally and more efficiently, we can do even more with the resources we receive.
"With this step, Cunina is making an important strategic move towards the future. We don't just stay true to our mission — we strengthen it."
