OzHarvest right-sizes their IT structure with Salesforce and Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP).

From an aging CRM to one fit for fundraising success

Three years ago, OzHarvest had an aging, pre-packed CRM system that did not reflect the organisation’s needs nor was it set up for growth. Donors had multiple personas and multiple records across various platforms such as Outlook and Excel.

Faced with a similar challenge that many in the nonprofit sector face – a lack of data integration leading to suboptimal donor data management, OzHarvest identified the need to make changes to their platform so that it would become a single source of truth for their donor data.

The old CRM system was built with us in mind, but not bespoke enough to ensure we have easy access to regular updates.

The new world of Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP)

After understanding the impact of Salesforce Non Profit Success Pack via feedback from other Australian Nonprofits, OzHarvest engaged Salesforce Certified Consultants at NobleCX to implement Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack.

NobleCX worked closely with OzHarvest to understand the challenges they were facing, where the pain points were and where it was they wanted to get to, so that the solution designed would meet these immediate needs and set them up for the future.

About OzHarvest

OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, collecting quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivering it directly to more than 1300 charities supporting people in need across the country.

Founded in 2004 by Ronni Kahn AO, after noticing the huge volume of good food going to waste from the hospitality industry, she decided there had to be a better way. Starting in Sydney with one van – the first of many donations from Goodman+ Foundation – she delivered 4,000 meals in the first month.

OzHarvest now operates nationally, rescuing over 180 tonnes of food each week from over 3,500 food donors including supermarkets, hotels, airports, wholesalers, farmers, corporate events, catering companies, shopping centres, delis, cafes, restaurants, film and TV shoots and boardrooms.

Education is crucial to OzHarvest to help enable positive change for vulnerable people. OzHarvest curriculum-aligned education program FEAST for primary school students is currently being piloted, with plans for NSW roll-out in 2019 and nationally in 2020.
