Impact, in their words.
Here's what the organisations we work with have to say.
Blaze Your Trail were an excellent partner for the implementation of Raisley and the integration with our Salesforce platform. They also assist with building offline fundraising workflows that ensured we could better manage donor stewardship with minimal staff resources within our organisation. We would not hesitate to recommend them to organisations wanting to implement Raisley and Salesforce-based fundraising solutions.
The move to Salesforce has not only alleviated the burden of manual tasks but has also empowered us to capture more comprehensive data for evaluating the impact of our services. This transition has truly elevated and enhanced the efficiency of our organisation.
This has streamlined our business processes and greatly improved the efficiency of bringing on new business. We have clearer visibility of what is happening with opportunities and programs, and with one single source of truth we are better able to plan for future.
This is an opportunity for us to gather important information and data into one place so we can work more effectively and efficiently as a team. We highly value the project and want to continue developing our digital capability going forward.
This project drastically improved our efficiency and systems for coordinating all of our operations and stakeholder management.
Blaze Your Trail were so flexible and responsive. We would not have been able to do this project without their support. We really appreciate their commitment to ensuring the transition was a success and to meeting our tight deadlines.
The service from Blaze Your Trail helped us exceed fundraising totals three campaigns in a row and streamlined our administrative processes. It was so helpful to have expert advice and know we were then delivering best practice in these areas.
Another major Salesforce project seamlessly delivered by the highly competent and professional team at Blaze Your Trail. From scoping to handover documentation, this team did an exceptional job.
Blaze Your Trail combined their deep understanding of our organisation's needs with their expert knowledge to create a tailored inventory system for Eat Up that perfectly suits our needs. By increasing visibility and improving efficiencies, it has reduced admin time, helping our team focus on creating impact for hungry kids.
Blaze Your Trail’s tailored system has streamlined our support staff’s ability to record sessions and track progress, enhancing our impact evaluation and resource planning with reliable, up-to-date data.
What was once a manual, time-consuming and error-prone process is now streamlined, accurate, and transparent. This means our team can spend less time on administration and more time on what matters most, getting books into the hands of children who need them.
We can now track all programs and impact of programs in a really easy way. My team can input data from wherever they are. Everything is in the one place!! Impact reporting is made so easy!
Being able to see all of the contact details for a contact in one place is huge lift. Cross-team visibility is improved, enabling us to see how our stakeholders interact across programs, advocacy and engagement.
Communication was great throughout and I always knew where everything was at. Having full donor history in one place is a game-changer for us. It has led to the ability to accurately forecast income for the year ahead.
Blaze Your Trail was an outstanding partner, ensuring our Salesforce project was delivered successfully and aligned with our strategic objectives.
We fully trust the Blaze Your Trail team as they’ve never let us down. We go to them with a problem, and we know they'll give us a solution or give us options. All the projects we have worked on together have been extremely successful.
A trusted partnership that extended our capacity, delivered key projects on time, and provided expert Salesforce support without the need for micromanagement.
From day one, Blaze Your Trail were incredibly responsive. They still are. Things get fixed immediately. It is almost like they are part of our own team here at Cat Protection, not an external company. We’re so glad to have partnered with them.
Blaze Your Trail understands nonprofits and how volunteers actually work. They built something that fits our world, not the other way around. We’d absolutely recommend them to any organisation looking to grow and make a bigger impact, they are absolutely amazing!
Moving Leadership Victoria onto Salesforce has changed everything for the better, helping us stay connected, keep our data current, target the right audiences, and follow up in ways that drive stronger outcomes.
Freedom Solutions Australia engaged Blaze Your Trail to support our organisation with its Salesforce administration, reporting, and process improvement. The team consistently demonstrate deep technical expertise, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to social impact. They quickly understand the complexities of our operating environment and provide clear recommendations that improve both efficiency and effectiveness.
Blaze Your Trail was excellent at understanding our needs (which are quite complex) and was responsive to questions and changes. In the early stages we didn't know all that we needed to know but we were guided towards helpful solutions. A service like ours has many nuances to capture, and this support is incredibly valuable to ensure we are able to clearly tell our story with numbers.
Blaze Your Trail has become a trusted partner-helping us improve efficiency, strengthen compliance and focus less on administration and more on delivering impact.

The Cat Protection Society
The Cat Protection Society of NSW has always been ambitious. As their work grew, bringing more cats, more data, and more community programs, so did the need for systems that could keep up. Rather than holding them back, the gaps they identified became the launchpad for something far more powerful.
