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.

    We Welcome: Childcare Center 'The Dune Elves' in Schoorl - NH

    HomepageIntro

    Our new client, Annemarieke Kok, came to us to get some help with converting their Google website to another platform. Google no longer supports the site our client had put together. Given the fact that tomorrow it is business as usual in 2026, we set out on a marathon to quickly create a new platform that replaced the Google solution and of course when given the change we improved on the presenation, look-and-feel and robustness of the new site. And naturally migration of content, articles, images and videos.

    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...

    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

    We Welcome Body Balance Anneloes ~ Manueel Praktizijn®

    BBASit_20220325-170718_1

    Some time ago we were contacted by Anneloes Velda the owner of Body Balance Anneloes ~ Manueel Praktizijn® in Makkum Friesland. BBA provides therapeutic service like Shiatsu, Bodycushion, Acupuncture, specialized preganancy massage and sells magnesium products for your well-being. "The power of Touch" is the main focus.

    The website of BBA could not be updated any longer due to outdated plugins and cost of applying new ones would be too costly. Also the owner could not have access to the domain/hosting service. So we went to remedy quickly.

    "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it is not.

    Dr Seuss - The Lorax

    Due to the increase in population and the need for woodfuel for cooking and heating, Malawi has lost 85% of its trees in the last 20 years, and as the graph shows: at current rates of population growth and deforestation, by 2025 the country will no longer have enough biomass to sustain the population.

    We Welcome Mgoza Lodge @ Cape Maclear Lake Malawi

    MgozaLodge

    Some time ago we were contacted by Alan Joffe, owner of the lodge on a recommendation of Malawi Travel. The website was down due to the Corona times. We tried to resolve with Godaddy, however their policy is such that in that situation the site is retained for only 1 month, despite being a long-standing customer, and so the website was lost. Thus we went on the adventure to get the Lodge back online, fast!
