Company Profile
Project Canoe provides youth with the opportunity to experience a canoe trip in northern Ontario in the summer, and recreational programs in Toronto throughout the year. They focus on youth that would otherwise be unable to participate due to barriers they face in their lives. These barriers may be social, emotional, behavioural, learning or economic barriers. Project Canoe was founded by Dr. Herb Batt in 1977 and has served over 4000 youth over the years.
The Challenge
As an existing user of the Salesforce.com Non-Profit Success Pack, Project Canoe had been using the platform for a number of years, but the system wasn’t customized specifically to their business. As a result, the Executive Director has been using Excel and other disparate systems to manage the variety of different types of sources of donations, the financial reporting and event management.
The Solution
App Solve took the customer’s goals and worked backwards. Starting with the reporting that the customer wanted to see at the end of the day and reverse engineering the system to achieve those goals, and in combination with extensive reviews of their current data, App Solve began customization of the system in order to meet these reporting and data requirements. App Solve integrated the customer’s current data and processes and created the system to specifically meet those needs.
The Results
Now that Project Canoe can manage their donations and events in Salesforce.com it has been a game-changer in productivity for the Executive Director. The next steps are to fully integrate Lead capture so that volunteers with Project Canoe can take information of attendees with tablets, to turn those attendees into donors. Not only that, but also enable the entire board and fund-raising committee with Salesforce licenses so that they can fast-track their fund-raising and track interactions with their own individual relationships to take donations to the next level and dramatically increase the amount of students taking part in yearly canoe trips.
They were excellent. The team there is transparent, smart, patient, talented, and dedicated. They made the process of starting a CRM painless and attainable.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Digitcom hired AppSolve to streamline Digitcom's processes from Quote to Cash. A digital service provider, Digitcom's requirements are challenging and AppSolve's thorough knowledge of Service Cloud and AccountingSeed ERP and Financial Suite made them uniquely qualified to help.
AppSolve delivered a comprehensive overview of Digitcom's processes. They simplified systems by eliminating half of the business tools currently in use, resulting in more cohesive work flows at a lower monthly spend.
AppSolve's team faced external challenges multiple times during their engagement with us, but managed to keep tightly to their deadlines and deliverables while maintaining a high-quality, professional service.
Digitcom Telecommunications Inc.
"A great long term partner. The team at App Solve has helped us implement several strategically valuable modules, custom design, and workflow processes to our org. We have been working with them for four years now. They understand our business needs and help us scope projects appropriately for our requirements and budget. Planning projects is always difficult when we don't understand the complexity of some challenges. They help us navigate appropriately and are reasonable to work with when original plans inevitably end up drifting into something different than first envisioned."

"Fantastic experience working with Pattie & David. Our company recently completed the transition to Lightning with the competent, guiding hand of Pattie.

I would highly recommend App Solve to anyone looking to integrate Salesforce into their business."
