Trocaire Case Study Trocaire Case Study

UNIT4 has helped Trocaire adapt in a changing world, enabling the international charity to spend more time and money helping the needy and not on administration.

Not-for-Profit sector solutions

Not-for-Profit and "Third Sector" organisations face constant scrutiny and need to be transparent and accountable. But this is difficult to achieve when data is held in a number of separate systems.

Agresso Business World provides a proven solution that significantly reduces the cost of governance, management and administration.

An integrated Agresso Business World system provides a complete solution for:

  • Financial accounting
  • Procurement
  • Project management
  • Human resources
  • Payroll
  • Planning
  • Business intelligence
  • Workflow

UNIT4 Customers in the Not-for-Profit sector include:

  • Save the Children
  • British Red Cross
  • Marie Stopes International
  • Trocaire
  • Cancer Research UK
  • Anchor Trust
  • The Salvation Army

"As a charity we have some very complex reporting and tax requirements which Agresso handles well. We have to account for all the money we spend and prove we get value which is made quicker and easier by Agresso’s powerful and flexible reporting capabilities."

Olga Cowling
Customer Liaison Manager, Cancer Research UK

Unlike traditional ERP systems, our Agresso solutions offer genuine post-implementation agility. The system adapts to changing requirements - increasing its longevity and reducing the cost of ownership.

UNIT4 has substantial experience in the Third Sector with more than 75 customers, including 8 of the top 50 UK charities.

UNIT4 understands and addresses the specific requirements of charity accounting, including:

  • SORP 2005
  • Partial VAT recovery
  • Fund accounting
  • The full cost recovery model

Agresso Business World enables the capture of statistical data for effective management information and provides a mechanism to easily integrate with other core systems such as fundraising to provide a total business information solution.

When new demands are placed on your organisation, Agresso Business World can be reconfigured to reflect those changes – often by your internal teams, without the need for a single day’s consultancy. Agresso has the only architecture on the market that tightly couples data, business process, and the delivery methodology (reporting and analytics). Put simply, this means that when a change is made in one area, it does not have to be redone and rechecked for accuracy in another. That’s a huge time, money and people resource saver. That’s what true business agility is - what we at UNIT4 call post-implementation agility.

This post-implementation agility makes Agresso Business World truly future-proof, with a lower total cost of ownership than many of its rivals. Agresso Business World’s long shelf life means you’ll no longer face the pain and heartache of having to re-implement or replace your ERP system every five years. Instead, you’ll gain substantial savings, and an unmatched resilience to change.
