Simplifying subsidy administration

For A&O fonds Grafimediabranche we brought the entire subsidy administration, once scattered across many separate places, together on one single platform that hundreds of employers now rely on.

Case study

A&O Fonds Grafimediabranche

Situation

A&O Fonds Grafimediabranche makes subsidies available to employers across the sector. Distributing and accounting for these funds involved several departments and organisations, each carrying out its role with great care to make sure the money reached the right place.

The information needed for all this, however, lived in many places, both on paper and digitally. That made a clear overview hard to reach and pulling everything together took a lot of time, precisely where more grip would have made the biggest difference.

Approach

After a thorough exploration with every stakeholder, we mapped out the ideal process. We translated that into a subsidy platform where everyone involved collaborates with ease: employers have their own environment, while A&O offers support from a single place and gains instant insight.

Result

Employers now submit their applications fully digitally, which saves them hours of work every month. Just as important: there is one single version of the truth, visible to everyone at all times. No more back-and-forth by email and phone; instead A&O and the employer share a clear view of the status. And because nothing is left waiting, there are no more backlogs in paying out the subsidies that have been awarded.

And the pay-off?
Fully digital and fast
No more downloading, filling in and posting application forms, and no more typing the same details two or three times over
Time and money
The whole process now runs faster for everyone involved, and the external parties that used to be part of it no longer are. So hours and euros saved!
Calm, and focus on what matters
Granting subsidies is only one of the tasks of A&O Fonds Grafimedia. This partnership has freed up plenty of time to spend on all the other work they want to do!
