articulating this dream ever since

build a whole movement of social
entrepreneurs businesses that can also
help the poor thing and these are not
the usual entrepreneurs this enterprises

children in our community they're all
going to school many of them honor
students we now have hospitals here
clinics we now have access to health
care here so it's all become now a place
where communities can thrive
at the beginning the farm has only very
few transactions and we were able to get
by which was an Excel but as you grow as
an organization and then you have all
these foot traffic then you all have
these different transactions with a lot
of suppliers already it's very difficult
I really remember a time in 2014 where
we had no time to dream anymore because
things started to really work fast we
were trying to catch up with so many
things and that's when we encountered
the Oracle NetSuite social impact we
applied for this grant and we were so
lucky to be able to get this the Oracle
NetSuite social impact group has given
us this crowd the tremendously reduce
the amount of admin time that we put in
to our back-office works this has
allowed us to focus on what we really
want to achieve we have to do things
fast when we want to end poverty for
five million Filipinos you want to build
500,000 social enterprises so we have to
act fast
so through NetSuite because it's very
flexible I can create fields I can
create new forms I can customize sales
orders I can customize request expense
reports without the need of another
consultant because of the system and
because of this platform we will be able
to really be a greater force of good

helped over a million people across the
country were also feedings 80,000

this partnership with NetSuite our team
started seeing again that it wasn't just
in doing the operation and selling doing
the numbers and that's important but we
can never lose sight of our true bottom
lines which relate not only to the
financial bottom line but most
importantly to the social and
environmental elements and that's what
we wanted to focus on and through net
suit we were able to do that
