Donation and Membership moving from Sphere to Luminate And 2015 Tax Letter
• With Sphere DPC had to print out all donations and manually enter them to ClearView
• API Bridge – Luminate transactions and Constituent records are automatically sent to ClearView. After quick “spot check” the batch is approved and all Luminate new data populates ClearView, cutting the time from days to minutes.
• This allows us to create a 2015 Tax letter on demand.
