During workshops, project teams developed solutions for over 500 requirements. The number of clients was reduced from over 100 to 10. Branches can now be managed as an additional dimension – in a user-friendly, multilingual and multi-client manner. Specialised processes, such as those relating to migration, were also successfully mapped. «With Data Dynamic AG, we had – and continue to have – a competent and experienced partner at our side who developed and implemented a very robust software solution for us using Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The Salvation Army’s comprehensive requirements were implemented perfectly, and the entire organisation is now operating more efficiently. It was a great success for all project team members that the go-live took place on schedule and within the planned scope!» Philip Bates, Project Manager, The Salvation Army Switzerland Foundation Result / Impact How the problem was solved collana npo now supports The Salvation Army Switzerland in efficiently managing its complex structures.

Address and client data were consolidated, duplicates were automatically checked, and a centralised data repository was established. Services are now recorded digitally and invoiced directly from the system. Task and appointment management has also been digitised. „Introducing a new ERP system during the pandemic presented a particular challenge. The DDAG project team provided us with significant support through their professional and collaborative approach on an equal footing, enabling an extremely smooth and very successful project implementation.“ Maja Stucki, Deputy Managing Director, Züriwerk Foundation Result / Impact How the problem was solved Since January 2021, the Züriwerk Foundation has been using a centralised ERP solution that digitally connects all departments.
