It’s important to build trust as we work together to allow challenge, to ensure we land on the best possible outcome.

We probe and challenge through our engagements to ensure that we understand the really detailed needs to ensure our solutions are fit for purpose What else do we do? t{h}onix works with organisations on wide ranging projects from CRM implementation to technical and digital strategy, to data analysis, to system scanning and requirements building.

Geeky Fox CRM Solutions Ltd

Geeky Fox CRM already had years of experience supporting businesses on their CRM journey when Adam was invited to become a trustee of a charity. He saw first hand how difficult it could be to manage the internal working of a charity. He knew a CRM was essential and quickly settled on Beacon, which he implemented as part of his trusteeship. Beacon’s Partner Solution programme was launched shortly afterwards, and Geeky Fox’s Beacon certification not long after. Geeky Fox is shifting focus as we’ve found working with charities engaging, rewarding, and just fun. It’s the same service. We’ll listen and help you understand your challenges.

Charity Technology

Charity Technology

For small charities with big ambitions CRM isn't software - CRM is culture. Your small charity or non-profit needs a holistic approach to ensure your CRM plans don't become one department's white elephant. I've worked in the charity sector for over 25 years, at both small and large organisations. As I've seen charity CRM and e-learning software develop into a multi-million pound industry, I've grown aware that what works for large charities isn't always right for small ones. Enterprise-level software isn't always the best choice. And you can't tell until you've used it for a while. What is common across charities of all sizes is the need for sustainable approaches, future-proofed decision-making, and ownership of the donor, customer & learner relationship. Sustainable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions are a must. I'm here when you need me, not as an expensive one-off consultation, but as a resource to help inform strategy, sense-check, help with ideas, and support your organisation's technology future.
