Case Study: Open Play Foundation centralizes operational and impact data with SoPact

Open Play Foundation unifies 10 programmes into one funder report with SoPact

The Open Play Foundation, a non-profit creating recreational spaces in Stellenbosch, faced a challenge centralizing operational and impact data across its multiple sports facilities. They needed a connected system to track daily activity, maintenance, and program evidence in real time, rather than relying on outdated quarterly reports. To solve this, they turned to vendor SoPact and implemented its connected record system.

SoPact’s solution provided Open Play with one working view to see all facility signals and staff activity together. This allowed the team to immediately identify and fix issues like a water leak, preventing significant loss. The same operational data was then used to effortlessly compile funder reports, with the CEO noting a recent report combining ten programmes was ready after just two prompts. SoPact enabled the foundation to digitize its entire business, making data actionable for daily decisions and simplifying reporting.
