Barhead launches CRM solution for Australian NFPs

IT consultancy Barhead Solutions has launched a new CRM solution for Australian not-for-profit organisations at the FIA Conference 2023 in Melbourne.

The Barhead Fundraising Solution (BFS) has been built on Microsoft business application technology, and has been designed to address gaps in the capabilities of standard cloud solutions that create a barrier to entry to not-for-profits due to the high cost of implementation of these solutions.

The foundation of the BFS is the Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit, and the platform has been modified to handle Australian payment services and streamline processes related to campaign and income management.

Barhead’s Head of NFP, Amanda Stenson, said the new solution is the culmination of the company’s decades of experience working with not-for-profit organisations.

“The BFS has been a passion project for the entire NFP team,” she said. “We can’t wait to implement the BFS for NFPs to support their crucial work in communities.”

Erin Burchfield, Global Leader of Microsoft’s Tech for Social Impact Partner Organisation, added that the company remains committed to supporting non-profit organisations.

“Through the collaborative technology partnerships Microsoft has established within the non-profit sector, and particularly through the amazing work we have done with our partner Barhead, we aim to drive meaningful digital transformation that impacts not just these organisations, but the millions of beneficiaries they serve — whether that be a child, a sea otter or a coral reef,” she said.
