Solutions
The Tow Foundation chose Nintex to consolidate multiple disconnected and manual applications, processes, and reports into one unified application. To put it in the words of the foundation’s developer, Joseph Ucuzoglu at CRMDNA, “What we hate, we automate.”
Users can now get high-level visibility into operations and manage each relationship according to its unique needs—all without leaving the app. Collaboration between the foundations and its grantees is also simplified because multiple users can log into an application at once, and work together.
“We’ve changed the way our entire organization works and thinks about their work,” says Nadia Alia, Director of Operations.
When asked how long it took The Tow Foundation to transition to Lightning using Nintex (with a team of three including one developer), Nadia replies, “Days, maybe? Hours.”
With the new Nintex and Lightning solution, the foundation has taken off three weeks in their grant cycle processes and are able to implement suggestions grantees make in a short amount of time.
Emily adds that the Nintex and Lightning solution has made it possible to deliver the best information possible to the foundation’s board.
“Nintex (formerly Skuid) has allowed us to implement changes in-house, and the end result is that our board of directors is having more dynamic and high-level conversations than before,” Emily says. “It feels great that we have achieved this in the last year and with such relative ease.”
Results
Since they moved their Nintex app to Lightning, The Tow Foundation can continue to be revolutionary, while receiving all of the benefits of future Salesforce updates. When they need to make last-minute changes, Nadia can pop into the application and make adjustments on the fly.
The most exciting result from the Nintex solution The Tow Foundation built in Lightning is that this is only the beginning. Because it’s so easy to adapt Nintex and Lightning apps to rapidly changing needs, these solutions can evolve with the organization.
“Salesforce alone was a game-changer for my work in philanthropy. These mobile tech integrations are stepping things up to a whole new level,” says Beeta Jahedi, Director of Strategy and Communications at The Tow Foundation. “I love the Nintex (formerly Skuid) and Lightning duo we have here.”
