Another example is managing contributions &
tithes. Automating this process allows you to
instantaneously provide a printout of how much a person has

any other date range how much you've received, and much more.

automate this process, handle the task way faster and
provides immediate printouts.

comparing a period this year to periods in past years.

compared to lasts same quarter? this month compared
last year same month? This type of an analysis could
prove very advantageous.
