Use case: Cunina
Cunina Chooses MS Dynamics and Ishtar365
Cunina invests in digitalisation to make more impact.
For nearly 35 years, Cunina has been giving 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 dedicated team and a structured organisation across 7 partner countries. Since its inception, more than 18,000 sponsored children have been placed in school and 250+ educational projects have been realised.
What is Cunina's digitalisation goal?
The organisation has evolved enormously in recent years. Processes have become more extensive, communication with international teams and sponsored children more intensive, and the need for efficiency ever greater.
Two complementary IT partners
👉 Falcon Automation guides the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a modern ERP system that provides greater insight and control over financial processes.
👉 Ishtar365 delivers the digital collaboration platform that connects Belgian and international team members, sponsored children and sponsors in a secure, transparent way.
Looking ahead with confidence.
With this step, Cunina is making an important strategic move towards the future. The combination of a powerful ERP and a state-of-the-art platform for communication and collaboration provides a solid digital foundation on which to build further.
This allows Cunina not only to remain true to its mission, but to strengthen it: giving children in disadvantaged situations the opportunity to fully develop their talents — through education, and soon also through digital innovation.
"We pride ourselves on our minimal administrative costs," says Sophie Vangheel. "By going digital and working more efficiently, we can do even more with the resources we receive. Every euro we save on administration is an extra euro for education."
An integrated solution with clear objectives
The goal of this digital transformation is clear: to channel more resources directly to the sponsored children. Thanks to the new solution, Cunina aims to:
- Reduce manual actions and minimise the risk of errors
- Gain more insight into financial flows
- Guarantee transparency and data security
- Optimise collaboration with southern staff and sponsors
