Track Time Spent On Activities

Tracking the work spent by staff/volunteers is valuable for two reasons: you can give them the recognition they deserve, and you can report the man-hours to funding bodies. Sumac supports time tracking and reporting to help you manage all these processes.

Get Everything In One Solution

A CRM database that stands alone is not much use, since contacts and donors also become members, volunteers, and are associated with your organization in other ways. It’s better when everything works together! That’s why Sumac’s Basic CRM integrates directly with all Add-on Options.
