Case Study: Global Food and Beverage Company achieves 70% reduction in user fees with SmartSimple Cloud

How one Global Corporate Foundation saved 70% on user fees with SmartSimple

Global Food and Beverage Company’s philanthropic foundation had been struggling with an unstable grants system from CyberGrants, including a major unresolved crash, unresponsive support, and high per‑user fees for many occasional users. Seeking usage‑based pricing, flexibility, security and better service, the Global Food and Beverage Company selected SmartSimple Cloud and its Grants Management Solution.

SmartSimple Cloud implemented a fully configurable, AWS‑hosted grants platform with unique user portals, a community group license for occasional users, and dedicated Technical Community Support, enabling global collaboration across business units. The move delivered a seamless rollout and measurable impact: the foundation reported a 70% annual reduction in user‑access costs while maintaining scalability and streamlined workflows for its roughly $80M annual granting program.
