FinancialForce ERP Enables Muscular Dystrophy Association to Improve Fundraising Efforts and Transform Accounting Activities

LAS VEGAS, May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialForce, the #1 Enterprise Professional Services Automation (PSA) and customer-centric ERP cloud solution, announced that the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), a nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases, has seen tremendous gains in their fundraising efforts since implementing FinancialForce ERP.  

The FinancialForce ERP platform has allowed MDA to centralize their procurement efforts for fundraising and other events related to the core mission, while also streamlining the processing of payables and critical accounting transactions. The ERP suite enables MDA to shift the majority of its back-office efforts from multiple stages of processing in various systems into a single efficient stream as a transaction moves through FinancialForce.  

Since deploying the FinancialForce platform, MDA has successfully realigned administrative work from fundraising and associated teams, freeing up 40% of their time to focus on more strategic activities. Finance, IT and Operations teams now have the flexibility to focus on new ways to deliver services faster, smarter and cheaper.

"Muscular Dystrophy Association had a unique opportunity to use FinancialForce ERP to reengineer the front office capture process and centralize, procurement, payables and accounting in our new Chicago Service Center," said Michael Kennedy, CFO, MDA. "The centralization of transaction processing has saved significant costs, and the centralization of performance data capture has given us new insights into optimizing fundraising and other efforts related to our core mission."
