Charitable Organisation — 

Adoption/Donation & Member Management — E-Commerce System/  

What Colossus does for them: 

Colossus is being utilised by a charitable organisation that focuses on protecting some of Africa’s most majestic animals against poachers. They use Colossus to acquire and maintain a steady level of donations for the charity so that they are able to fight against poachers. They primarily achieve their funding through financial contributions made in return for ‘adoptions’. Essentially, a patron would donate a certain amount per month and in return they are adopting an animal. These patrons would receive a certificate of adoption along with updates on how their contribution is being used in the fight against poaching. So, the features that are mainly being utilised by this charity revolve around the acquisition of new adoptions and retainment and management of existing adoptions. 

How Colossus does it: 

The beauty of Colossus’ software is that it is completely customisable. So, we can make the software work for you and not the other way around which is exactly what we did for this charity. We were able to help them manage their donations through the implementation of our features. 

The charity utilise’s our features to make sure that repeat adoptions are being taken. These repeat adoptions enable the charity to have a reliable source of income that they can depend on which is vital for making sure that a minimum level of protection is always being given to these endangered animals. The features that enable this to occur fall under our e-commerce system. Our powerful e-commerce system allows and facilitates the acceptance of recurring payments for subscriptions and membership renewals. 

Our e-commerce system allows them to have an easy way of constantly and sustainably increasing their revenue through the use of an online store offering adoptions of animals in exchange for a set monthly fee. The system also offers the option of promotional codes and shipping calculations. The promotional codes are a great feature to entice people into purchasing adoptions as frequently as you like and in accordance to the needs of the company.  

The e-commerce system provides consumers with an engaging shopping cart experience making purchasing the products and/or services on the website an easy and pleasing task. It also is completely secure so that both the company and the consumer can have peace of mind when making or receiving a payment.  Our e-commerce system has the added benefit of saving companies a lot of money, this is because the system is integrated into the software that is installed onto your website. You are able to cut ties with your third party e-commerce platform, that is entirely too expensive, and have your own built-in e-commerce system. 

With our e-commerce system you are also able to simply categorise products and services to your liking as well as add product variants easily. These product variants can include: brand, size, weight, colour, type and product description. The ability to categorise your products and services can be invaluable, especially in the non-profit/ charity market sector where the majority of funding comes from donations. Colossus’ e-commerce system also has the capability to customise and link products through their upsell ability. 

This charity also utilises our member management and leads generation systems to help them attract new donations and adoptions as well as to retain their existing clients. Our member management system allows organisations like charities to be able to keep a strong eye on donors already committed to sponsoring an animal and the monthly fee that comes with that, which is the lifeblood of this charity. The system allows the charity to manage all of its existing donors through a secure database. It also has features that makes for easy follow up’s, rapid updates of donor records as well as the capability of being able to view and report on key data and facilitate communication between organisation and donors. All of this is done on one software with easy access on their website. Making it easier, more efficient and quicker to manage existing donors and attain new ones. Engaging with donors is also effectively done through our communication tools that drive engagement. These tools include: branded emails, newsletters and marketing promotions.

The funds gathered by adoptions and donation payments really do amount to greatness because they are utilised for a purpose that is both noble and necessary.
