American Philanthropic helps nonprofit organizations with strategy, leadership assistance, campaigns, grant writing, and much more. They utilize QuickBooks Online, and moved to Salesforce from DonorPerfect, which helped modernize their CRM system.
They turned to Commercient SYNC to integrate key data from QuickBooks Online to Salesforce. Prior to the move, doing this process manually could take hours of work every 2 weeks, and now SYNC allows American Philanthropic to better track hours, invoices, and more, enabling them to provide better value to their clients.
“Commercient proved to be the one to successfully sync what portions of the invoices we needed, to the particular objects in Salesforce,” said Devon Ironside, Director of Data Solutions at American Philanthropic. “It ended up working out well.”
“It’s something we didn’t even really have a way to track before. And so to see [the clients, services, hours, invoicing, and more] all in one place, it’s helped the directors and managers determine the effectiveness of our engaging [and provide more valuable services to clients].”
Before, it could take several hours every 2 weeks to manually transfer the key financial data from QuickBooks Online to Salesforce, which his team needed to track. Their integration runs daily, and the information is available quickly. “I’d say it’s been a major coup to have the Commercient SYNC app to get the information [to Salesforce quickly], and it seems to be working well, and it’s great.”
