Case Study: The Thalidomide Trust achieves efficient beneficiary payments and reporting with Aqilla

Charitable Organisation, Integrates Aqilla with SalesForce to Create Unique Payments System

The Thalidomide Trust, a UK charity, faced a significant challenge with its unsustainable and risky bespoke payment system for its 467 beneficiaries. Needing a solution that was both affordable and highly customizable, the Trust turned to the cloud-based Aqilla accounting software to replace its outdated infrastructure and eliminate key-person dependency.

Aqilla implemented a tailored solution that integrated directly with the Trust's Salesforce CRM, creating a unique system to automate the complex beneficiary payment allocation process. This integration allowed for the creation of a secure web portal for beneficiaries and streamlined financial reporting. The results for the Thalidomide Trust included reduced costs through a low monthly subscription, free upgrades, vastly improved efficiency, and the ability to generate a wide range of reports instantly for different stakeholders.
