50% Reporting Reduction
Successfully cut internal reporting time by 50% through automated MCP server data retrieval.
30% Fundraising Velocity
Increased the speed and efficiency of fundraising efforts by 30% through improved data visibility.
30% Less Wasted Effort
Eliminated operational redundancies and wasted manual efforts by 30% via consolidated workflows
The Challenge
The organization operated across multiple disparate systems, resulting in zero visibility into critical business operations. Under increasing pressure to hit aggressive fundraising targets, they found their existing software stack incapable of providing the necessary insights or scale.
Our Solution
We designed a future-state architecture centered on automated workflows and next-generation data analytics. Our team consolidated all operational data into a single CRM “Source of Truth” and built custom MCP server integrations for HubSpot and Xero. This allowed the organization to perform deep, real-time queries across their entire financial and donor ecosystem.
The Results
The integration of MCP servers and data consolidation radically shifted the organization’s efficiency. Reporting times were slashed by half, while the reduction in manual friction allowed teams to refocus on mission-critical initiatives rather than administrative upkeep.
The move to next-generation reporting using MCP servers has been a game-changer for our fundraising. By consolidating our systems into one source of truth, we’ve cut reporting time by 50% and finally have the visibility we need to hit our climate targets. It’s not just about the data; it’s about the 30% increase in velocity that allows us to focus on the planet rather than the paperwork
