GALVmed, a registered charity which makes livestock vaccines, diagnostics and medicines accessible, affordable and available to the millions for whom livestock is a lifeline has chosen to implement the Infor FMS SunSystems financial accounting solution.
Following incorporation in March 2005, GALVmed began operations in November 2005, with the vision and mission of protecting livestock and saving lives by developing products and sustainable partnerships to help poor, rural farmers and livestock keepers around the world. The GALVmed alliance spent its formative years seeking funding and used their accountants, Scott-Moncrieff, to produce management information during the initial stages of growth.
In September 2008 GALVmed secured substantial funding to combat 4 diseases enabling it to start delivery against its objectives. This resulted in the need for GALVmed to implement more detailed, timely, and hands on, information production processes and management reports that could be created as and when required.
Heather Stevenson, Finance Director at GALVmed, said “We opted for SunSystems as it is a sophisticated system with multi-currency, project reporting and multi-site capability. The flexibility of SunSystems was also a key plus point: at this stage it is impossible for us to know how big GALVmed will become in the future, so it is important for us to have scalable systems in place.”
Following implementation Heather said “With SunSystems GALVmed will benefit from detailed and timely management information, flexibility on analysis of project reporting, simplicity in multi currency processing and reporting and will have the flexibility to expand the solution as we grow.”
