Evolving Landscape, Enduring Mission
“Today, you can’t be a successful organization, for-profit or nonprofit, without an incredible technology backbone.”
Non-profits like Parkinson's Ireland navigate a complex terrain of dispersed audiences, diverse needs, and resource allocation demands. Privacy concerns, tech limitations, and stakeholder communication add layers to this challenge.
Despite these challenges, non-profits like Parkinson's Ireland remain committed to adapting and evolving, leveraging their established expertise to continuously improve the lives of those they serve.
Recognizing the need for modernization, Parkinson's Ireland partnered with CBOSIT on a transformative journey, leaving behind outdated systems and fragmented processes for a streamlined and efficient technology foundation.
In Parkinson's Ireland's quest for progress, their "Discovery" phase with CBOSIT unearthed the following hidden hurdles within their systems, demanding a transformative path.
Membership Intake Bottleneck: A cumbersome intake process hampered potential membership growth. Instead of a smooth, digital pathway, applicants navigated a manual system, delaying their involvement and support.
Donation Hurdles: Every contribution mattered, but processing donations required significant manual effort. This created administrative roadblocks, slowing down the crucial flow of funds towards vital services and research.
Campaign Constraints: Raising awareness and funds often faced limitations. Executing campaigns lacked efficient tools and automation, restricting their reach and impact. This hampered crucial efforts to spread awareness, advocate for Parkinson's research, and secure essential funding.
Renewal Roadblocks: Renewing membership should have been a simple act of continued support. However, a disjointed system made it unnecessarily complex. This led to unintentional lapses in membership, impacting both revenue and engagement with dedicated supporters.
Manual Invoicing: Financial processes lacked automation, adding unnecessary burden. Manual invoice creation was time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting both internal efficiency and timely payments to vendors and partners.
Limited Automation: Without automated financial processes, Parkinson's Ireland faced numerous challenges. Manual tasks slowed down operations, increased processing costs, and restricted accurate data analysis for informed decision-making.
From Manual Chaos to Digital Harmony
" Parkinson's Ireland, in perfect sync: CBOSIT transcended partnership, becoming an extension of our mission. They delved deep, grasping the nuances of our work, and crafted a solution tailor-made to our needs."
Parkinson's Ireland, unwavering in its dedication to exceptional patient support, faced operational hurdles due to fragmented systems and outdated processes. Recognizing the limitations, they embarked on a transformative journey with CBOSIT, seeking operational excellence to better serve the Parkinson's community.
CBOSIT implemented a multi-faceted solution that addressed key pain points and delivered significant improvements:
Seamless Membership Intake: CBOSIT implemented Zoho CRM, bridging the gap between membership forms and the CRM system. This eliminated manual data entry, streamlined the intake process, and provided a smoother experience for potential members.
Transparent Donation Tracking: Secure online and offline donations were seamlessly integrated through Zoho CRM, automatically reflecting in Zoho Books. This ensured real-time tracking and transparency, allowing Parkinson's Ireland to monitor contributions, allocate resources effectively, and keep donors informed about the impact of their support.
Simplified Campaign Management: CBOSIT introduced Zoho Campaigns, simplifying the creation and execution of awareness and fundraising campaigns. This empowered Parkinson's Ireland to reach wider audiences, engage supporters more effectively, and maximize the impact of their outreach efforts.
Automated Renewals & Retention: Manual renewal processes were replaced with automated invoices, ensuring timely payments and streamlining member retention.
Enhanced Financial Efficiency: Manual invoice generation was automated, reducing workload and improving financial accuracy. This freed up staff time, minimized errors, and provided Parkinson's Ireland with clearer financial insights for better decision-making and resource allocation.
