NRM faced operational inefficiencies and data inaccuracies due to manual processes and disconnected systems, necessitating the integration of Salesforce NPSP, third-party tools, and standardized practices to streamline operations and improve data accuracy.
NRM’s existing processes were inefficient and often required significant manual intervention, leading to delays, errors, and a drain on staff resources. Too many manual touchpoints in various operations resulted in bottlenecks and increased the likelihood of data inaccuracies.
NRM operated with multiple systems and tools that were insufficient in communication and interoperability. This lack of integration resulted in missing or inaccurate data, hampering decision-making. The management of donors and memberships lacked standardized practices, leading to inconsistent engagement with supporters.
Integrating Salesforce NPSP with existing systems and implementing third-party tools required a thoughtful approach to ensure smooth data flow and user adoption. Shifting to new systems and processes needed staff and stakeholder buy-in, training, and a seamless transition to ensure successful adoption.
Fíonta has crafted a comprehensive plan aimed at propelling the museum toward enhanced donor engagement and operational efficiency. The plan focused on streamlining NRM’s processes to eliminate inefficiencies, reducing manual data entry, and implementing automated workflows.
Seamless integration of Salesforce NPSP with existing systems ensured real-time data synchronization, addressing issues caused by manual data transfer. Standardized engagement practices were introduced to establish consistent communication with donors and members.
To facilitate user adoption, Fíonta incorporated comprehensive training and user support. The strategic integration of third-party tools such as iWave, Elevate, and ACME enhanced donor interactions, membership management, and ticketing, while the Patron Portal empowered patrons to manage their engagements effortlessly, fostering stronger connections.
Furthermore, implementing Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (MCAE) enabled audience segmentation and personalized communications, significantly improving NRM’s outreach effectiveness.

Out-of-the-box Salesforce dashboards allow NRM to analyze their opportunities and accurately forecast revenue.
