Case study

How a large Islamic center unified eight years of donor data across four platforms and three banks.

Before BetterWayIQ, answering a basic board question — "how is this Ramadan tracking against last?" — meant half a day of spreadsheet work and three separate logins. After: minutes, in one dashboard. Same data, same platforms, same team.

Donations consolidated (all-time)
$6M+
Unique donors deduped across platforms
5,000+
Active recurring donors tracked
900+
Platforms + banks unified into one view

What changed

Same data, same platforms, same team. Different software.

Separated at ingest, zero overlap

The problem

  • Multi-million-dollar annual giving spread across four platforms (CRM API + kiosk + member portal + corporate match) and three deposit accounts (Operations, Construction, Zakat)
  • Cross-platform donor deduplication was manual and error-prone — the same donor often appeared with slightly different name spellings on different platforms
  • Six-figure annual double-counting risk from historical CRM migration overlap
  • Pledge-vs-fulfillment double-counting inflated totals by up to 8%
  • Bank reconciliation happened once a month; cash-flow decisions lagged reality

The solution

  • CRM API syncs daily via an API-key authenticated connector
  • Kiosk, web, and bank statements ingest via the CSV upload portal
  • Cross-platform donor dedup runs automatically — no manual matching
  • Pledges tracked separately from fulfillment payments (no double-counting)
  • Bank reconciliation across multiple deposit accounts in a single dashboard
  • Every dashboard tab renders in under 200 ms

“Board questions that used to take a half day now take minutes. We caught a recurring-donor lapse three weeks earlier than we would have, recovered the donor, and saved the gift. The dashboard pays for itself.”
