We welcome Lokaal Noordenveld - a fresh face in the local politics in the community

Welkom-bij-Lokaal-Noordenveld
    In 2026, Lokaal Noordenveld emerges as a fiercely independent and critical alternative for the municipal elections on March 18.

    Recently, Atol Solutions partnered with the party/movement to develop a modern communication platform designed for the digital age. As a grassroots movement fighting for every vote in the Noordenveld community (Drenthe, Netherlands), the party faced significant budget constraints. We devised a strategic plan to tackle these challenges head-on.

    Phase 1 of our ATS completed...

    ATS

    After our design completion, we went with help from Akeeba to initial implementation and hardening of the package. So now we are at the end of phase I. ATS is now the acronym for Atol Solutions Ticket Sytem.

    All is working great and we are able to accept tickets and able to respond with speed. We have integrated our technical, customers and sales staff to handle the requests. Also improved our communication online with Whatsap calling or chat. Handling of all tickets, assignment to either customer support and technical personnel is working great, as well as feed back to customer and the resolution of any issues. Plus we now have one libary of information of all that we do!

    We are very pleased and want to thank Akeeba for their great support and insights!

    Pilot on the road to serve our customer even better

    AkeebaTicketSystem

    We have been a client of Akeeba for a long time, actually since we started. They provide great software to do site backups to local space or in the cloud. We also use Admin Tools, a great firewall to protect the sites we develop and service. For some time we have been contemplating to start a ticket system to serve our customers better, nothing elaborate but one that can do the job, keeping track of issues and responding quickly. We decided to go with them, as they are a reliable vendor and partner of Atol Solutions.

    We are running an initial pilot with their Pro version, tune the system for our needs and then we go live. Yes it will be yet another chance - but we feel it is time to do so. We shall keep you informed, of course.  All to serve you better...

    The Last Mile...

    BeautifilBoy

    We are all exhausted, but have plenty of energy left to make it count for the Final Stretch. This drive comes from the heart & personal experience - seeing with my own eyes the conditions of Malawian people and specifically the children that stole my heart, when I was there 3 years ago.

    Bahasi Orphanage Needs Your Support

    HelpBahasi

    Malawi's economic condition is marked by a severe and protracted crisis, characterized by high inflation, food insecurity, and declining living standards. The economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, but growth has been impacted by climate shocks, insufficient forex for imports, and fiscal imbalances. Recent forecasts project slow GDP growth due to a weaker agricultural season and other challenges, while public debt remains high and poverty persists. Maintaining high rates of poverty, with 75% of the population living on less than $3.00/day, one of the highest in the region
