Examples of those who have benefited
from our vision:
"I've worked together with Jim and
Aqubanc many times. He understands what the customer
needs, which equipment is the best fit for their needs,
and when to recommend new or refurbished equipment. In
our most recent transaction, we were able to save the
customer over $50,000 while still recommending higher
performance hardware. It is rare to find someone else
who actually cares about the customer and their needs."

"The Durham Rescue Mission is happy
to recommend Aqubanc to other nonprofits and rescue
missions. Since adding the Cheque 21 System to our
donation processing department, we have been able to
reduce the cost of processing gifts and trim the time
for processing gifts. Checks are sent to the bank
electronically daily, further saving travel time as
well. In addition, each year during our scheduled audit,
it is very easy to display on the computer any checks
and/or reply devices the auditor requests to see."

"Starting in 2007, I recognized the
need to improve our Gift Receipting. When I began
researching options to our Gift Receipting challenges, I
became a bit discouraged. It was easy to find vendors
who wanted to sell to us piece meal or only solve some
of the puzzle. I needed someone to study our mail and
make necessary recommendations for a system that could
be customized to meet our Gift Receipting needs. Then I
needed someone to oversee the entire system
implementation, everything from installing the hardware
and software, training staff, writing procedures, and,
setting us up with support. I was looking for one
company to do it all. Of all the vendors I talked to,
only Aqubanc actually understood all of the Gift
Receipting challenges and how to make them work better.
After reviewing our gift processing systems, Aqubanc
recommended an entire process from beginning to end that
decreased the amount of data entry by 70%. By going
directly to Cheque 21 depositing, we've eliminated the
need for multiple tapes, check copying, creating
deposits or trips to the bank.
My only regret has been that I didn't do this five years
ago. The age is passing when organizations spend untold
dollars for data entry operators. The best result of our
Aqubanc system is that we have had a substantial
reduction in data entry staff, eliminated temporary
staff, and, quicker turnaround times in Gift Receipting
which has lead to sending acknowledgement letters
sooner. This year (Spring 2008), we are reporting a
significant reduction in administrative expenses to our
donors thanks to Aqubanc."

"We scan all our Reply Devices and
checks...within the Aqubanc system. Our Aqubanc system
relieves us of over 95% of our data entry work, allowing
us to more thoroughly concentrate on the quality control
aspects of our Gift Receipting. We will need less
staffing to accomplish Gift Receipting...[and] be able
to handle the daily flow of donations in a timelier
fashion, even in the heaviest of "busy seasons". We are
positioned to deal with workload growth without
incurring significant additional operating costs."

"Before initiating Aqubanc's Cheque
21 System, we anticipated always hiring a large number
of temporaries to get us through the months of
processing the Fall acquisition and cultivation
donations. Even with these temporaries turnaround times
would still be weeks - not days. Now processing
donations during our busiest times essentially requires
the equivalent of only one person for the entire process
from opening the envelopes through working the scanner.
All with a 48 - 72 hour turnaround during the busy Fall
peak season."
