Today Aplos announced their partnership and integration with Bloomerang, a leader in Donor Management Software for Nonprofits. Through this partnership, Aplos and Bloomerang will integrate their systems so each of their customers can extend the power of their data. This unified solution is designed to bring true fund accounting and a donor database together to fulfill a huge need in the market.

The integration between Aplos and Bloomerang will securely share real-time data, allowing customers to track their donors and financials seamlessly. Donations entered in Bloomerang will automatically be recorded in the bookkeeping in Aplos, ensuring nonprofits have more accurate bookkeeping, reduce duplicate data entry, and improve the accuracy of reports to reflect real-time donations.

Indianapolis-based Bloomerang, led by former eTapestry founder Jay Love, is a cloud-based donor management system designed to help small and mid-size nonprofits reach, engage, and most importantly, retain the commitment of the people who share their vision.

“Unlike other solutions that require you to import and export each time you want to update your records in another system, this partnership empowers you to link purposes within your Bloomerang account to the Aplos chart of accounts so each batch of donations are automatically accounted for in your accounting,” said Jay Love, CEO of Bloomerang “Removing all that duplicate data entry will allow nonprofits to spend more time fundraising and accomplishing your mission.”

Both firms serve small-to-medium-sized nonprofits with cloud-based software. Aplos, one of the leading providers of online fund accounting software, served over 14,000 organizations last year. Nonprofits have unique accounting needs, including tracking designated funds and donations. When nonprofits use small business accounting software, such as QuickBooks, the accounting can get complicated fast with work-arounds and manual spreadsheets to track the nonprofit data needed. That is why Aplos designed an accounting software specific for these unique needs, so it is simpler to correctly manage their finances and prepare the reports they need to demonstrate funds are used correctly.

“The people who are responsible for ensuring the health and performance of nonprofit organizations know what they need from a data perspective in order to grow and succeed and demonstrate stewardship to their board and supporters,” said Tim Goetz, CEO of Aplos. “We are thrilled to put that intelligence at their fingertips with this partnership and help them get rid of their manual spreadsheets and time-intensive processes.”
