Challenges

The Cesar Chavez Foundation, a nonprofit offering educational, housing and property management services through its 75 entities operated on aging Microsoft DOS, FundWare, QuickBooks, and Excel. Manually moving data between these tools caused manual errors and complicated financial reporting, especially for their multi-entity operations.

“FundWare was DOS-based and not fully Windows compatible, making data extraction and integration with future programs a significant challenge.”

Cliff Timmermans, CFO

ERP Solution

The Cesar Chavez Foundation chose Acumatica for its unlimited user licensing, compatibility with nonprofit needs, and ability to handle multiple entities and subaccounts. Acumatica’s open platform and flexibility in accounts payable processes were key factors.

“By having unlimited users and not charging extra for that, Acumatica allows us to get the information out to the individual users at the operational level.”

Outcome

Acumatica streamlined operations, reduced payroll processing time, and provided faster financial reporting. Dashboards provided managers with actionable insights, while permission-based security helped them control access. The Cesar Chavez Foundation now operates efficiently with modern software.

“With Acumatica, we now have speed and access to relevant information when we need it. We were really behind the times, and now we’re very far from where we were.”
