What is AKuClick?


Brochure

AKuClick was originally entitled "Aqubanc Kintera CoMarketed Solution". While this is fine for agreements and contracts, the name is not really very catchy or marketing oriented. Hence, the new name is "AKuClick" which encompasses the Aqubanc Cheque 21 System components and Aqubanc as a Kintera Strategic Referral Partner and Kintera Connect Partner:

What makes the Cheque 21 Systems AKuClick Different?


Kintera is the difference! AKuClick can directly work with the Kintera Gift Entry application which is a huge difference between Kintera and other fundraising software. The Kintera direct connection makes use of flexible, high value Kodak scanners for imaging all types of gifts, donations, checks, reply devices and response devices. Then AKuClick can populate Kintera Gift Entry for donor, gift and even eligible check data for making electronic check deposits from within Kintera. While these differences set AKuClick apart, AKuClick continues as part of the Cheque 21 System which gives Kintera users choices when they need it.




How does a Cheque 21 Systems AKuClick Work?


Kintera nonprofit organizations, their regions, districts, and, chapters are challenged by their donors to properly steward their gifts. This is not always a simple mission to execute:

  • The donor sent a gift using one of the nonprofits Reply Devices
  • The donor sent a letter with the gift
  • The donor sent a gift in an envelope
  • The donor only sent a Reply or Response Device

Before the donor's gift can even be accepted, the donor has quadrupled the nonprofits work. One task remains clear: your donor's gift needs to be handled in a timely manner and this is how a Cheque 21 System can help you better Steward Your Resources. Each and every Cheque 21 System brings together product and partner components to make your mission simpler to execute.

Where are these gifts received?

  • At a caging or lockbox service?
  • In your mail room
  • By Gift Receipting or Gift Processing
  • By Fundraising, by Major Gifts, or even by your Executive Director

When everyone is handling these gifts, then gift acceptance can take 2 or 3 days or even a week or more. Shortening gift acceptance can be accomplished by routing gifts onto a common path:

Once on this common path, gifts are opened and sorted into Like-Types which are simply grouping types of physical documents together:

  • Check-sized Reply Devices with their Checks
  • Only Check-sized Reply Devices
  • Only Checks
  • Checks with Reply Device and/or Exceptionals that are larger than 4? by 8.5?
  • Only Exceptionals

The common path is split to make the process simpler and easier to execute. The image scanners are different, the results are the same:

  • Images are captured
  • Check/Cheque MICR and Amount can be recognized
  • Reply Device OCR and Machine Print can be recognized
  • VisuallyVerify and Key-from-image
  • Achieve Data Excellence.

When Like-Type sorting is completed, then the Cheque 21 System usually offers two imaging paths for these gifts:

  • Check-sized Reply Devices are imaged on a Digital Check Image Scanner
  • Exceptionals are imaged on a Kodak Image Scanner System

Now for Kintera users, AKuClick enables the imaging of all Like-Types on the Kodak Image Scanner System.

AKuClick with the Kodak Image Scanner System has:

  • Image capture of the front and back of each gift transaction is completed
  • MICR for Bank Routing, Checking Account, Check Number are captured
  • Check Amount is recognized and captured
  • Machine Print on the Check and Reply Device is recognized and captured
  • Gift transaction images are posted inside Kintera Gift Entry with mouse gestures
  • VisuallyVerify by the Gift Entry operator was completed
  • Data Excellence inside Kintera Gift Entry is achieved.

Data Excellence is not a luxury, your nonprofit can't afford to incorrectly post a gift because the penalty for failure is usually losing the donor for life. If it costs $25, $50 or more to acquire a donor, the price of failure is very steep indeed.

You've achieved data excellence while delivering AKuClick captured donor and gift data along with all gift transaction images into Kintera Sphere's Donor Management System.

You've converted eligible checks and electronically deposited them through Kintera Sphere to your bank, leaving you plenty of time to walk to the bank twice weekly to deposit ineligible checks. Electronically depositing checks the same day you've received them from your donor with AKuClick.

Your AuditorArchive provides alternative access to all transactions captured through the Kodak Image Scanning System and AKuClick. Now that you have more free time, you can start imaging other documents within your nonprofit.
