Case Study: Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) digitizes grants management to a centralized, paperless system with SmartSimple Cloud

How a new, automated review process and improved communication tools saved the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program over $50,000

FWCP (Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program) faced a rapidly growing grants workload that relied on email, spreadsheets, Word docs and physical folders, causing excessive printing, manual effort and poor visibility into reviews. Seeking a secure, Canadian supplier that could show ROI and meet a 6–9 month deadline, FWCP selected SmartSimple Cloud, deploying SmartSimple Cloud for Government Funding with Premium Support.

SmartSimple Cloud delivered a fully configured, centralized paperless platform within the required timeframe, adding digital signatures, PDF generation, online reviewing, automated reminders and robust reporting so reviewers and administrators can monitor the entire process end-to-end. The new SmartSimple Cloud system cut binder production from dozens of hours to 30 seconds, eliminated most manual pain points, saved FWCP more than $50,000 in resources annually, and produced a >75% applicant satisfaction rating.
