Case Study: Heifer International achieves real-time global financial transparency and $2.3M savings with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Heifer International - Customer Case Study

Heifer International, a 75‑year nonprofit working in 25 countries with about 1,200 staff, faced fragmented accounting systems that undermined donor transparency and prevented real‑time, global financial visibility—making consolidation, complex donor reporting and timely decision‑making difficult.

Unit4 implemented its ERP People Platform (Financial Management, HR & Payroll, Procurement) to automate financial consolidation, invoice workflows, funds transfers and multi‑currency real‑time reporting. The solution freed hundreds of hours, saved $2.3M, reduced resources for financial consolidation by 90%, increased stakeholder transparency, and let staff spend more time on program delivery to help approximately 3 million families.
