AidHound

Great product!

Vorteile:

It was really quick and easy to customize it to our needs. The analytics tools are super useful in our everyday management.

Nachteile:

Mobility is crucial for our team and, although AidHound works satisfactorily in a mobile environment, it will be a great upgrade when they release the mobile app.

Definitely the best Solution for an European non-profit

Kommentare: It took a few weeks to fully implement AidHound in our organisation. Our previous database was basically an Excel sheet, and all the information needed to be imported into different AidHound's Forms. Their support team was very diligent in making sure we were going to able to save all the information into the new platform, which we did.

Vorteile:

AidHound in three words: versatile, efficient and fast! Whatever it is that we needed to keep records - users, beneficiaries, activities, donors,... - AidHound makes everything easy to access and create reports. As a very specific non-profit that works with migrants and refugees in Lisbon (Portugal), we were desperately looking for a software that was able to work for us. AidHound's readily available support team was always ready to help us structure our data and implement any changes in the system as we needed.

Nachteile:

We are very satisfied for choosing AidHoud, but if I have to pick an area where they can improve is its interface. Nothing terrible about it, just not very appealing.

Great Case Management & Impact Analytics Software

Kommentare: The team is highly committed with improvement and responsive to our feedback, launching new improvements and features every month.

Vorteile:

The ability to monitor every aspect of our performance with ease (tables, charts & graphs and outputs) is incredible.

Nachteile:

Adopting AidHound was a good boost for our productivity, but there's still room for improvement in terms of its workflow management features.

Amazing Customised Service

Kommentare: Our experience has been great. Aidhound has been completely customised to fit our organisation and the team has been extremely professional in meeting our needs and helping us reach our future ambitions. Unlike many other services in Portugal, Aidhound team is quick to respond, set up meetings, answer our questions and bring solutions.

Vorteile:

I like that the software is very self explanatory. Once you have understood the different parts to the whole, it is easy to navigate. It is also very adaptable to our needs, which keep changing regularly.

Nachteile:

There are some restrictions to the software, in that we cannot track our KPIs fully. However, it is just a matter of time until we can, as the Aidhound team assures us they are working on developing the software so that we may get out of it, everything we need!

A tool focused on increasing the efficiency of social multi-partners projects

Kommentare: I used AidHound a few years ago for the performance management of a social impact bond, and the experience was a real upgrade from the various complex excel spreadsheets we used to use. AidHound allowed us to have a shared platform with our partners operating the project on the ground, which not only improved our engagement and collaborative work, but also increased the quality of the data collected and respective assessment. I vividly recommend AidHound to anyone who values data collection and assessment, and who implements operational projects with several partners on the ground. Besides my experience, I am aware of several other case studies that AidHound has had and am always so impressed to see the impact that this tool can have in supporting the delivery of high quality social services. In addition, I want to highlight how great the team is, both in terms of service support but also on their mission-commitment to develop an effective solution adapted to serve social organisations.

Vorteile:

The integration and shared access of important day-to-day project data with several partners, and the level of easiness it brought to the process (not to mention the upgrade it meant from how we were working before AidHound).

Nachteile:

The level of analysis of the software was not 100% adjusted to our needs, however it served the needs of an ongoing monitoring and for deeper analysis we were able to develop such analysis on excel.

A huge upgrade to our data management & analysis!

Kommentare: A huge upgrade to our data management & analysis! AidHound made it possible for us at Alzheimer Portugal to digitalize data from more than 20 support offices around the country. Now we have access to real-time stats & charts on our beneficiary’s characteristics and on our activities performance.

Vorteile:

AidHound is very easy to use and to costumize. Allows statistical analysis and charts in real-time.

Nachteile:

There are one or two features that are not available on AidHound and that we could benefit from. However, the team is always available to make improvements that benefit all of its customers.

Um optimo software

Kommentare: Com este software é possível toda a equipa usar a mesma forma de registo, o que facilita a extração de dados e uniformizar a informação

Vorteile:

O produto é fácil de usar quer no pc como no telemóvel. Permite o registo de dados e a sua extracção facilmente. Equipa facilmente se adaptou a usar este software.

Nachteile:

Existem aspectos que devem ser melhorados pelo que estamos em contacto directo com os "criadores" para alterar, o que é rápido e fácil

Information is king - long live Aidhound

Vorteile:

Aidhound has been used for all our Social Impact Bonds since 2017. The use of Aidhound has helped moved our approach from impact measurement to impact management and using the information available on Aidhound as an asset to improve operational decision-making. With improved access to real-time information, all stakeholders can make informed decisions - investors, management and operational teams - which are reflected in a better service delivery, better outcomes and, as a consequence, more impact. We simply could not do this before using Aidhound as a management tool in our day-to-day.

Nachteile:

Nothing major to include here. Looking forward to the next versions of the software.

Ótima ferramenta de trabalho

Kommentare: Eficiência e organização no registo de informação. Mapeamento e e análises de atividades realizadas, beneficiários e outros, de uma forma simples, fácil e bem estruturada.

Vorteile:

o Software AidHound tem sido uma ótima ferramenta de trabalho. Muito intuitivo e de fácil utilização. Tem sido uma grande ajuda no registo e organização das nossas atividades realizadas com os nossos beneficiários.

Nachteile:

Para já não tenho mais sugestões de melhoria, o software responde bastante bem às necessidades da nossa instituição.

tipping point - avoid overlap

Kommentare: It helps social economy entities to be more eficiente in their daily operations, by avoiding overlapping and allowing better analysis of track-record. On an already overwhelmed instituition (usual standard for SEE), a SaaS like Aid Hound can be an extremely useful tool not only to manage operations, but also to improve the quality of the delivery.

Vorteile:

The flexibility of such online platform as a whole, but in particular, the ability to monitorize and adapt KPIs in a quick and fully-customized way.

Nachteile:

I don't have nothing to underline, in particular, about this software regarding what could be improved in Aid Hound.
