Givergy

Givergy sells fundraising tech in five regions. We rebuilt the machine that quotes and closes it.

A fundraising-events technology company was running a five-region commercial operation on hand-built quotes, a leaking self-sign-up funnel, and financial data nobody trusted. As their embedded Salesforce team we re-platformed the whole quote-to-cash process - quote groups, standard contracts, region-specific e-signature documents - and migrated roughly 28,000 opportunities into production without stopping the business.

The challenge

Givergy: a five-region platform with a hand-built commercial back office

Givergy powers charity auctions and fundraising events across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong, selling platform subscriptions plus onsite staff and equipment. Salesforce was the commercial engine behind it - and it was straining. Quotes and agreements were assembled by hand, the self-sign-up funnel leaked duplicate leads and missed welcome emails, invoice data was missing its subscription-versus-onsite splits, and fourteen overlapping opportunity flows were hitting platform limits on every deal close.

No repeatable quote-to-contract document

Service agreements and quotes were assembled by hand, contracts lived on a makeshift object, and multi-year, renewal, and add-on deals were each handled ad hoc.

A leaking self-sign-up funnel

Charities signing up from the website produced duplicate leads, opportunities, and contracts, with welcome and password emails arriving late or not at all.

Financial data you could not report on

Invoice lines were missing their subscription and onsite splits, quotes had no line items, hundreds of records were owned by inactive users, and some products carried negative margins.

Automation hitting the ceiling

Fourteen opportunity flows, undocumented, were colliding on close - one deal could not close at all because three flows in the same transaction blew past platform limits.

Leads routed to the wrong region

With five regions and white-label reseller partners, leads landed with the wrong owner and country mismatches were constant.

The architecture

One quote-to-cash pipeline, five regions, migrated live

We rebuilt the commercial core on standard Salesforce objects - real quote line groups, standard contracts, region-aware documents - wired an e-signature pipeline through it, and migrated the entire opportunity history into it without interrupting the sales team.

What we built

A real quote-to-cash data model

A quote line group object, migration from a makeshift contract to standard Salesforce Contracts, and four opportunity types - subscription, renewal, multi-year, add-on - each with its own layout. A single Apex process creates the contract, event, line items, and next-year renewal in one transaction on close.

A custom quote editor

A component for building quotes with line, group, and quote-level discounts and live gross margin - so a rep prices a deal correctly without a spreadsheet.

Region-aware e-signature documents

Service-agreement, quote, and proposal templates for each region - UK, US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong - sent for signature in one flow, with the signed return automatically marking the quote accepted and advancing the opportunity.

Lead routing that respects geography

Country-to-region mapping and state-based US allocation with round-robin assignment and out-of-office fallback, plus website lead-source normalization - so leads reach the right owner in the right region.

A funnel that stopped leaking

Deduplication on the self-sign-up path and repaired welcome and password emails, so a charity that signs up gets one clean record and the emails it expects.

Financial data made reportable

Backfilled subscription and onsite splits across tens of thousands of invoice records, replaced stale product line items, and reassigned records owned by inactive users - so finance could finally trust the numbers.

Automation untangled

The fourteen colliding opportunity flows consolidated to five, documented, and kept clear of platform limits - deals close cleanly now.

How we did it

Rebuilding the commercial engine while the sales team kept selling

Givergy sells fundraising technology across five regions, and its Salesforce had been carrying that on improvised parts: quotes assembled by hand, contracts living on a makeshift object, a self-sign-up funnel that leaked duplicates and missed welcome emails, and fourteen overlapping opportunity flows that collided on every deal close. The constraint that shaped the whole engagement was that none of this could stop - we were rebuilding the commercial engine of a live, revenue-generating business.

The core rebuild put the process onto standard Salesforce objects that scale: a real quote line group model, a migration from the makeshift contract to standard Contracts, and four opportunity record types for subscription, renewal, multi-year, and add-on deals. A single Apex process now creates the contract, the event, the line items, and next year's renewal opportunity in one transaction when a deal closes, replacing what had been a manual scramble. A custom quote editor gives reps line, group, and quote-level discounts with live gross margin, so a deal is priced correctly in Salesforce rather than in a spreadsheet.

The document layer is where the engineering got detailed. We built region-specific service-agreement, quote, and proposal templates - UK, US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong - sent for signature through Conga in one flow, with the signed return automatically marking the quote accepted and advancing the opportunity. Conga's Word templates do not support nested conditional logic, so we pre-processed the logic in the queries and, when a table-grouping bug produced blank pages, traced it to hidden page breaks in the template and escalated it to Conga support to resolve properly. These are the details that separate a demo from a document a customer actually signs.

Cutover meant migrating roughly 28,000 opportunities and every existing quote into the new model in production, backfilling the subscription-versus-onsite splits across tens of thousands of invoice records so finance could report on them, and consolidating those fourteen colliding flows down to five - one of which had been preventing a specific deal from closing at all because three flows in the same transaction blew past platform limits. The result is a quote-to-cash pipeline that holds up at five-region scale.
