Moving forward faster in

Not for Profit

Industry ChallengesFollowing recent revelations about certain charities, there has never been greater pressure on organisations in the Not for Profit sector to prove what they are delivering on their stated objectives. With the increasing need to comply with regulatory reporting requirements and demonstrate accountability, it is understandable that many organisations are turning to Sapphire Systems for support to move forward faster.

In the Not for Profit sector, organisations can find themselves juggling diverse projects which may be operational in multiple locations. It is often difficult to gather information from case workers and field operators in a timely manner, so collating and analysing reports can be very time consuming.

However, reporting is crucial to demonstrating whether organisations are delivering the services and benefits that have been promised. Not for Profit businesses must ensure transparency for all operations and spending, to meet the expectations of donors as well as strict regulatory stipulations and grant awards.

Like any business, in order to effectively control spending and enhance financial efficiency, not for profit organisations need to deliver projects on time and to budget.

Not for Profits need to know precisely how much funding is coming in from donors, grants and subsidies, and account for how every penny is spent in delivering projects. At the same time, they must analyse how every project performs against its objective to deliver value to its beneficiaries.

Working with organisations of all sizes, Sapphire Systems understands the challenges the Not for Profit sector faces and can support with business solutions that will improve efficiency and transparency.

Our SolutionsSapphire’s world-class business management software combines powerful financial and analysis tools with real-time reporting within a single unified platform that consolidates information across your entire organisation. Our affordable solutions are designed to provide all the tools you need to carry out daily operations and meet ever-more demanding reporting requirements. Support from Sapphire’s expert team ensures a fast transition from your existing systems to the most effective configuration.

Finance and Accounting

At the heart of our financial management software is a single, integrated ledger providing a powerful, real-time, financial transaction processing engine. This allows organisations to see the immediate impact of any financial posting, offering greater visibility across your organisation while eliminating data silos. It also provides greater flexibility in terms of how financial and business transactions can be analysed. The system supports multi-currency transactions compliant with specific regulatory reporting requirements of the industry, such as, Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) and Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).

With the right financial accounting software, the system can simplify and expedite accounting by cost centre, project, fund, fund type, donor, from pre-defined analysis capabilities, so you can quickly respond to donor queries and expedite project payment invoicing.

Greater flexibility and a company-wide oversight into finances, enable Not for Profit organisations to make faster and more efficient decisions whilst delivering measurable value.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

ERP is the perfect solution for Not for Profit organisations, combining financials, project management, customer relationship management (CRM) and operations, an ERP solution will enable your business to meet regulatory requirements, improve efficiency and achieve the objectives of your projects.

Meeting the challenges of an increasingly global Not for Profit sector, Sapphire’s systems ease the complexity of international financial reporting with multi-currency and multi-lingual capabilities.

A centralised process makes it easier to consistently collate data across multiple internal and partner organisations, while improving communication and collaboration. Complete visibility over the organisation as a whole means you can confidently assess performance against budgets, project delivery and your core objectives.

Business Intelligence

Our Business Intelligence (BI) software provide vastly improved access to business-critical information in real-time and in the right context, presented in a variety of layouts. Strategic views across the business from financials and sales through to inventory and distribution, are combined with interactive drill-downs on specific items of detail and the ability to perform advanced scenario modelling to help your business move forward faster.

Enterprise Asset Management

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software will ensure that you maximise the effective life of your assets and infrastructure. The power of EAM lies in its ability to align manpower, equipment and resources, maximising all aspects of asset management and preventive maintenance. Integration with mobile working applications, the back office and the Internet of Things combine to deliver real return on investment.

Cloud

Sapphire Anywhere is our enterprise-class hosting service, with data centres around the world. It has been designed with Sapphire’s rich technical experience of the SAP and Infor product portfolio. Our Sapphire-owned infrastructure means you have access to architects and engineers who have extensive practical experience in cloud migration, cloud platform deployment and virtualisation but also direct product specific knowledge.

Integration

While our ERP systems provide business support across the entire value chain, there will be occasions where you wish to integrate with third party applications.
