Fundraising System Support bei Kundenbetreuung

Centre of the work at joint systems is the Microsoft Dynamics based development of the fundraising software “FRnow”. It is developed for the special needs of an NGO’s every days work.

All fundraising processes are illustrated there and the system has a detailled API. Additionally to the software, we offer a huge portfolio of consultancy, such as user-support, process analysis and process consulting.

To use our fundraising software FRnow in the best possible way, we advise our customers intensively. We discuss new ideas and improvements for existing processes and try to decrease the workload of manual tasks. 

Customizing, process automation, reporting and other special requirements are developed based on customers’ requests. We accompany the whole process from conception to implementation to monitoring and improving.

Fundraising Consulting and Analysis

We share the passion of our clients to optimize fundraising, in order to generate more sustainable funding for their main challenges.

We provide data driven analyses, derived strategies and measures, accompanied and evaluated. Our range of services covers main strategic issues, e.g. segmentation and development of the donor base, as well as day-to-day operational tasks, such as advising selections or analysing results of specific fundraising activities. In this process we take into account the increasingly differentiated donation behaviour, the need for cross-channel optimised fundraising and individual donor journeys.

The added value of our support is drawn from our broad experience working with our clients, as well as our team’s long standing expert knowledge in analysing and profound marketing competence.

Teambesprechung bei joint systems

In accordance with our guiding principle, learning faster through joint efforts, we are the platform for our clients to share findings in fundraising. We provide benchmarks for fundraising results, measures and channels; we organize events for the exchange of experience, such as the „Marketingdays“, and make use of the joint magazine to convey knowledge between our clients.

We provide intensive analysis of the development of donor pyramides and the relative contribution of individual donor groups to the overall fundraising result of the associations. These analysis results are presented in workshops where we also elaborate measures for optimizing specific donor groups.

We coach our clients in the analysis of donor behaviour and structural description of donor groups and offer comprehensive segmentation advice.  Selection consulting for fundraising activities and –campaigns as well as performance and profitability analyses of them are just as much part of our business as regular reporting and ad-hoc analyses.

Data Science + Analytics

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field in which methods and techniques from mathematics, statistics and IT are applied to data from a particular context – in our case, the fundraising of our customer associations. We closely collaborate with Fundraising Consulting. When it comes to our customers, the mentioned methods and the generated insights should support them to further optimize their fundraising measures. Our approach to data science comprises the following areas:

We implement and optimize reporting processes for our customers within our tool environment, which consists of a Business Intelligence System (Cubes, Views, Microsoft Power BI), the Process Designer, statistical applications (R, Python, SPSS) and other tools.

e.g. Regression Models, Survival Analyses etc. in the context of churn analyses, optimization of lifetime value, upgrade potential etc.

Gaining insights from structured and unstructured (e.g. text-based) data, for instance by applying classification methods, clustering techniques and text mining.

Ongoing evaluation which internal and external data sources can be integrated for in-depth analyses.

Testing and applying machine learning methods in terms of supervised learning (with known variables) as well as unsupervised learning (finding structures in non-labelled data).

Researching the tool market as well as tool evaluation and testing – and last, but not least: hosting the blog askyourdata.co
