It’s time to scrap the sticky notes!

Relying on Paper & Spreadsheets is Risky

It’s normal to organise a new initiative on a spreadsheet, but as your team and number of participants grows, you start to see the limitations of relying on Excel sheets:

Data Security:
- People’s details aren’t safe in spreadsheets - it’s far too easy to delete a cell, a row or even a column; or worse, edit a cell without realising and alter vital information or break a formula.
- Because access is hard to control, it’s easy to fall below Data Protection standards such as GDPR.
No single source of truth:
- Contact details are often duplicated across several tabs or versions of the same file which makes it hard to know which one is accurate when inconsistencies occur.

Tom Beaumont, Operations Director, Christians In Sport

Inspire partners to share progress

“We went with Makerble because of the flexibility - particularly with participant and activity surveys which we can do on an iPad, on the bus on the way back from an event or over the phone; rather than on paper forms. Now there’s no paperwork.”

3 Reasons to Switch from Spreadsheets & Paper to a CRM

Secure all your information in one place

Accountability + Collaboration: See every detail about each of your contacts, clients and partners; and stay up-to-date on who’s done what with who
Data Protection: Set your own rules to determine who can view, edit and delete each record
Future-Proofing: Choose the forms, fields and columns you want to work with and change them yourself whenever you want to

Never misplace information again

Customisable Filters: find people faster by filtering by date, project, gender, ethnicity or any other field you use across your CRM
Smart De-Duplication: get prompts that prevent you from creating duplicates; and set rules to automatically merge duplicate records generated by your forms
Searchable + Scrollable Timelines: see the history of attendances, interactions, survey completions and communications for each contact

Save time by automating workflows

Signup Forms: Everyone who fills in a form on your website is automatically saved in your CRM
Notifications: Setup different notifications for different projects so that the right team members get notified whenever someone is added to a Waiting List
SMS + Email Messages: Automatically send thank you emails, pre-event reminders and follow-up surveys
