Organisation & background
BPA Solutions GmbH, based in Vienna, is an Austrian vendor founded around 2010, focused specifically on the donation- and membership-organisation (Spenden- und Mitgliederorganisationen) market. Its named customers span Catholic diocesan bodies (Bruder und Schwester in Not, Missio) and secular NGOs (Rotes Kreuz, Volkshilfe, Hilfswerk), and it has been a long-standing member of Fundraising Verband Austria.
Functionality
BPA is Austrian donor and member relationship-management software for organisations running fundraising and membership together, with customers including Catholic church and diocesan bodies. Its Personencockpit shows each person’s communication, transactions, subscriptions and agreements in one view. It offers campaign management and RFM scoring, capture of returned post by barcode, OCR or QR code, SEPA direct-debit reconciliation, one-off and recurring pledges, church sponsorships for students and seminarians, import of street and door-to-door fundraising agreements, project management and an inventory module. BPA to go is a reduced version for smaller organisations.
Localised features
Handles Austrian donation-deductibility, Spendenabsetzbarkeit, compliance directly: determining a donor’s vbPK, an encrypted personal identifier used instead of transmitting names, and reporting annual donation totals to the Finanzamt, tax office, via FinanzOnline, plus generating donor tax receipts. German donation-receipt functionality is described as ‘substantially expanded’ for at least one larger customer, though the underlying mechanics aren’t detailed.
Implementation model
Delivered by BPA’s own team, with regular basic and advanced customer workshops in Vienna or online.
Hosting
Not specified. BPA offers hosting as a separate IT service, but it isn’t stated whether this applies to the product.
