Imagine a world where your not-for-profit organisation runs like a well-oiled machine. Every process is streamlined, every team member is connected, and every decision is backed by data. This isn’t just a dream, it’s a reality that CPS can help you achieve. At CPS, we’re not just offering technology; we’re offering a partnership dedicated to transforming your operations and amplifying your impact.
The Challenges
Running a not-for-profit is a labour of love, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Picture this: you’re navigating the same hurdles as any commercial organisation, but with fewer resources, tighter budgets, and the pressure to deliver measurable impact. Sound familiar? Let’s turn these challenges into opportunities.
Operational Pressures
Imagine your limited IT staff no longer struggling with outdated systems. Instead, they’re empowered with modern tools that save time and boost efficiency. No more inefficient manual processes draining valuable staff time. With CPS, you gain visibility over projects, funding, and impact, making it easier to measure success and drive your mission forward.
Communication & Collaboration
Think about your remote teams working together seamlessly, engaging donors, volunteers, and stakeholders with ease. No more disconnected tools causing frustration and delays. CPS’s solutions enable effortless communication and collaboration, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals.
Security & Compliance
Envision a fortress around your digital assets, protecting sensitive information and ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR. With CPS, you can maintain cyber resilience with minimal infrastructure and stay ahead of regulatory changes without the constant headache.
At CPS, we offer a suite of solutions designed to tackle these challenges head-on and transform your not-for-profit operations.
Want to reduce admin and empower your team to focus on service delivery?
Imagine your team collaborating seamlessly with Microsoft Teams. No more time lost on emails and document version control. With Copilot, you can write funding bids, reports, and policies faster, enabling hybrid working with secure document sharing and cloud access.
No internal IT team? No problem.
Picture having helpdesk support and proactive monitoring at your fingertips. No more reactive, overstretched IT support. CPS provides predictable IT costs and strategic advice, empowering your team to focus on what they do best.
Replace spreadsheets with solutions that actually work.
Imagine tracking beneficiaries, donors, and outcomes in one place. No more disconnected data systems and cumbersome reporting to funders. CPS’s solutions automate reports and dashboards, and build custom apps to streamline services without coding.
Need more visibility over programmes and projects?
Picture prioritising projects aligned to your mission, reporting progress with real-time dashboards, and allocating resources more effectively. No more missed deadlines and budget overruns. CPS’s PPM software centralises all your project information, ensuring everyone involved has access to the same data.
You’re short on time, so let AI do the heavy lifting.
Imagine building chatbots to answer FAQs for donors and beneficiaries, automating processes like volunteer onboarding, and creating workflows that save hours every week. No more repetitive admin tasks taking time away from impact. CPS’s AI-driven tools reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
You can’t afford to risk a data breach, neither can the people you support.
Picture securing your data with Microsoft Defender and Entra, achieving Cyber Essentials certification, and receiving regular audits and support to stay compliant. No more cybersecurity threats to sensitive beneficiary information. CPS’s data security solutions ensure your operations are protected against cyber threats.
