Fina has been serving Croatian citizens and businesses for over 60 years, providing essential financial services.

As technology developed, Fina positioned itself as a driving force in regional digitalization, continuously enhancing and innovating its digital products, services, and solutions.

Through an open tender process, Fina identified Gauss as the best candidate to develop the platform for implementing EU co-financed projects.

Faced with the consequences of the pandemic and international conflict, Europe is dealing with numerous economic challenges. Additionally, Croatia has been further impacted by strong earthquakes.

To address these issues, the European Union introduced the NextGenerationEU instrument aimed at the economic recovery of member states.

From this budget, the Croatian government secured €10.5 billion within the NPOO operational program.

In collaboration with Fina, ministries, and implementing bodies, we developed a platform that helps efficiently and transparently utilize all secured funds.

The interface is designed with clarity and logic, making it easy for users to access and utilize the services of the FondoviEU platform.

Utilizing the Scrum methodology ensured the fast and efficient development of this essential platform.

The organization and clear overview of exchanged messages between participants and supervisory bodies helps communication, crucial for the successful implementation of EU co-financed projects.

Creating a database and integrating it with registers has improved data connectivity, enabling easier information exchange.

With the help of statistical analysis and generated reports, users can more easily track important information for more effective implementation of tenders and projects.

With real-time display of calls and procurement tenders, users always have up-to-date information and can view and review the status of their application at any time.

Institutional users can easily prepare and publish project calls within a single interface and system.

Applicants can prepare and submit projects for calls by completing an online form.

Users can conveniently sign contracts online, enabling a faster start to project implementation.

Users can view and publish procurement tenders effortlessly or subscribe to receive general notifications or information for specific tenders.

Users can fully implement projects through activities such as submitting advance payment requests, reimbursement requests, payment requests, contract amendments, project status corrections, and reporting irregularities.

The platform ensures clear communication between the relevant bodies, implementing bodies, and users.
