Our client has evolved into a leading non-governmental organization, extending its reach to remote rural villages of Nairobi. With a devoted team of over 850 Kenyan staff members, a global network of partners and leaders, and the unwavering support of missionaries, the organization has become a beacon of hope for countless children and families.
Challenges Faced by the Client
The child sponsorship team at a non-profit organization lacked a comprehensive approach, and validation issues with website data created bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the gift workflow. The absence of detailed insights made it challenging to provide sponsors with comprehensive information on gift distribution and usage, impacting transparency and accountability. The organization faced difficulties in evaluating and improving employee performance due to a lack of tracking mechanisms and clear metrics. Also, inefficient resource allocation resulted from a lack of data-driven decision-making processes, leading to potential waste and suboptimal use of available resources. These challenges hindered their ability to provide a seamless experience for their sponsors and ensure that gifts were delivered efficiently to needy children.
Solutions
UB Technology Innovations Inc., with certified and experienced professionals in Power BI service, streamlined the firm’s processes. We recommended utilizing Power BI, a data visualization and business intelligence tool, to address these challenges. Power BI’s ability to transform raw data into actionable insights made it an ideal solution for the organization’s needs.
Implementation:
Our team worked closely with the child sponsorship team to develop a Power BI report that provided insights into various aspects of the gift workflow, including:
- Number of gifts received according to the child’s age, centers, schools, courses, and sections
- Time of gift delivery
- Gifts received and gift types
- Gifts given to different centers
- Tracking gifts throughout the entire workflow
Time spent on each step of the workflow
