A Paris Beth Habad cuts donation fees to zero and recovers 18 hours a month
A community of 320 families switches from a stack of three tools to Unisoft Unlimited and frees up nearly half a working week of admin time every month.
A Paris-region Beth Habad serving 320 families had spent five years stitching together a donation form on Donorbox, a member spreadsheet on Google Drive, and a separate WhatsApp group for announcements. Donor data lived in three places, CERFA receipts were a manual quarterly nightmare, and the platform fees on monthly tzedakah were quietly eroding the budget.
האתגר
- 5.45% all-in platform fees on every donation, accumulating to over €11,000 per year on a €200K donation volume
- Member directory in Google Sheets, CERFA receipts manually generated four times a year
- No Yahrzeit reminders — families were forgotten, kaddish was missed
- Three separate logins for the rabbi, the secretariat and the treasurer
מה שבנינו יחד
- Migration of 320 family records, 5 years of donation history and 90 active recurring donors completed in 11 days
- Stripe + GoCardless connected for international cards and SEPA recurring
- Yossi (WhatsApp AI) configured to handle event registration, donation queries and stats requests
- CERFA receipts auto-generated on every donation, end-of-year batch in one click
מספרים שהשתנו
Switched from 5.45% all-in (Donorbox + Stripe) to 0% Unisoft commission on Unlimited.
Manual CERFA generation, member sheet updates and WhatsApp coordination eliminated.
GoCardless SEPA mandates with native Hebrew calendar reminders increased renewal rates.
Every family with a Yahrzeit on file now receives a personalized reminder with minyan time.
For the first time in five years, the rabbi knows exactly who gave, who attended, who hasn't been seen in two months — and the treasurer no longer dreads October.
