The project

VDL Hydrogen Systems develops electrolyzers, the hydrogen-producing machines, that can do this cheaply enough that green hydrogen is a feasible and affordable alternative to fossil fuel and gray hydrogen. Developing such an innovative product requires a huge investment. In addition to a substantial investment from VDL, VDL Hydrogen Systems receives grants.

Different cross-sections of the portfolio

“Being able to link the different projects and make the different cross-sections for our subsidies, that’s the strength of Fortes.”

The result

VDL Hydrogen Systems has a unique project layout with three different reporting methods. VDL Hydrogen Systems has configurated FCC to match tasks within VDL projects to grant projects. This allows them to create a report on specific grant parameters without requiring an additional administrative effort of the employees.
