about Amt Viöl
Amt Viöl is a small rural municipality in northern Germany. Like many local governments, they face the challenge of navigating a complex and fragmented landscape of public funding opportunities for community projects. To support themselves and 11 neighboring municipalities, Amt Viöl envisioned a digital solution that would simplify the funding application process and increase success rates.

Success Story
From ideation to launch, the Funding Scout project was a model of efficient collaboration between a diverse international K&C team and the Amt Viöl stakeholders. Despite working across time zones and languages, the team delivered a fully functional, user-centric platform within five months. Built with a scalable monolithic architecture and an intuitive UI, Funding Scout is already helping municipalities reduce time spent on applications and increase their success rate.
