Project Description
Hinsdale Humane Society Case Study
About Hinsdale Humane Society
The Hinsdale Humane Society is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the care and adoption of homeless animals. They advocate education and public service to encourage the compassionate treatment of animals and to prevent their suffering and neglect. We are a voice for companion animals who are dependent on people for their care and believe they are entitled to our respect and protection.
The Challenge: Disparate Technologies
- Could not proactively manage the entity’s business operations because no single version of the truth existed.
- No single system connected all animal and people interactions, tracked interaction history or tracked repeat interactions by type events, donations, adoptions, volunteers.
- Manual entry of data in five disparate databases
- Inability to optimize Grant funding through demonstrated outcomes.
- No industry standard / online application was available specifically for Humane Societies that allowed individuals to identify pets for adoption online or on a mobile device
The Solution: Sales and Service in a Single System
- Single, integrated solution that defines the 360 customer experience with HHS
- Core Sales Cloud implementation to track individual B2C and B2B customers from initial interest (Leads) to donation, adoption (Accounts).
- A single system that tracks all customer transactions and interactions allowing HHS to re-market and run targeted promotions to customers leveraging Pardot.
- Scalable platform allowing for duplication and/or engagement as a service for other organizations, APIs for connecting to future needs
The Results: Custom Online Booking, Scheduling, and Flight System
Working with SMBHD, Hinsdale:
- Saves 500 pet lives per year due to Increased adoption with wants tracking of un-adopted pets
