Case Study: Heartland Alliance International centralizes data and speeds reporting with ActivityInfo

Heartland Alliance International cuts project reporting from 3 days to 3 hours with ActivityInfo

Heartland Alliance International, an organization implementing global programs in areas like mental health and justice, faced challenges with its decentralized data management. Using disparate systems like Kobo Toolbox and Excel spreadsheets made it difficult to track progress, ensure data quality, and access information, especially during staff turnover. This fragmentation hindered strategic decision-making and reporting for both country projects and headquarters.

The organization implemented ActivityInfo to create a centralized, relational database for all its information. The solution streamlined case management and project monitoring, drastically improving data access and quality. A key measurable impact was reducing the time for HQ to gather specific project information from up to three days to under three hours. ActivityInfo also increased user engagement and provided a comprehensive overview of operations, leading to more efficient reporting and better collaboration across the entire organization.
