Best-in-Class Accounting Software
for Nonprofits & Governments

Your organizations are faced with a dilemma when selecting software to effectively meet your ERP requirements. The juxtaposition between industry-specific and for-profit accounting software vendors has always been a challenge.

For-profit accounting software is more comprehensive in scope yet lacking in specialized functionality for governments and nonprofits. On the other hand, vertical software vendors provide specialized functionality like fund management and grant management, but will lag in providing the latest, most modern technology platforms.

It takes a special strategy to provide the best of all worlds:
great industry functionality AND the most modern technology
at an affordable cost.

Microsoft, in partnership with Tangicloud as an Industry Solutions Vendor, delivers what you need for sustained success with the Fundamentals App, powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Fundamentals is an industry solution for Business Central which traces its success back to the year 2000, years before Microsoft acquired the Business Central product.

Fund Balancing with Allocations

MANAGE YOUR EXPENSES PROACTIVELY
TO OPERATE WITHIN BUDGET

Fundamentals allows you to view budget availability in real-time. This will help you avoid accidental over-spending. And you can generate electronic approvals and exceptions so that your managers are aware before problems occur.  Generate detailed transactions for planned expenses from your user requisitions (i.e. commitments) and purchase orders (i.e. encumbrances). This will give you end-to-end visibility of spending activities.

  • Real-time capture of planned and actual expense throughout the procurement cycle helps you manage your projects more effectively.
  • User-defined budget control and document approval rules will empower your managers to catch problems before they happen.
  • Microsoft Outlook email integration is great. It will allow you a paperless review and approval system. The result? You’ll work with a happy board, and have a reduction of your storage and paper costs as well.
  • The ability for remote users to enter purchase requests and expense reports will improve operating efficiencies. You may even make it home on time tonight!

 

SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY AUTOMATING PROCESSES
AND ELIMINATING SPREADSHEET SUBSYSTEMS 

People say that “the devil is in the details.” Nothing illustrates this more than when it comes to entering data by hand. Numbers can be transposed and deadlines missed. Think of the hours wasted in double-checking budget overruns by hand. But, with Fundamentals, many of your transactions can be automated for faster, more accurate workflows.

  • Automated due-to/due-from transactions cut data entry time significantly.
  • Recurring journal entries and invoices are a point of review, not a task to complete.
  • Real-time allocation of line items across funds, grants, departments, programs, etc. keep you on track for mission success.
  • Import and export budget plans from/to Microsoft Excel for your own clear analysis.
  • Automatic billing for grant reimbursements will help with cash flow.
  • Paperless approvals, alerts and notifications using Microsoft Outlook help your office go green.
  • Data integration to external systems using Microsoft Excel and web services make sure you’re focused on mission impact and not IT demands.
