Case Study: WWF‑Canada slashes fund balance reporting from 2 hours to 2 seconds with Vena Solutions

WWF-Canada Turns 2 Hours of Reporting Into 2 Seconds With Vena

WWF‑Canada, the Canadian arm of the World Wildlife Fund, oversees funding for up to 70 conservation projects and relied on Microsoft Dynamics GP for its general ledger. Before Vena, the finance team spent hours copying GL data into disparate Excel templates to produce fund balance reports and roll up program budgets, which left program coordinators with limited visibility and made timely forecasting and collaboration difficult.

By implementing Vena with direct Dynamics GP integration and standardized Excel-friendly templates, WWF‑Canada created a single source of truth where coordinators input parameters and GL data flows in automatically. Fund balance reporting dropped from two hours to two seconds, role-based approvals increased accountability, and rolling forecasts freed finance to do analysis—improving visibility, agility and resource planning across programs.
