Case Study: Dons Solidaires delivers goods to charities faster with SAP Business One

Dons Solidaires Delivering More Goods to More Charities More Swiftly with SAP Business One

Dons Solidaires, a French public sector organization that distributes excess nonfood goods to over 320 charities, faced a challenge in managing its operations. With a small team of employees and volunteers, it relied on inefficient, manual processes like spreadsheets and emailed catalogs. To distribute more goods without increasing its budget, the organization needed to reduce administrative overhead and create a self-service online system for its members, prompting them to partner with SAP and implement the SAP Business One application.

With guidance from SAP and its partner Coresystems, Dons Solidaires deployed the cloud-based SAP Business One solution. This implementation automated their catalog and inventory systems, providing charities with real-time stock data and streamlining logistics. The results were significant: the amount of goods distributed increased by 75% over two years without a budget increase, delivery times improved by two to four weeks, and the same team became three times more efficient, allowing them to focus on their core mission.
