Case Study: Sightsavers saves 4 weeks of research with Xapien

Saving 4 weeks of research to speed up approval and grant processes

Sightsavers, an international charity, faced significant delays in its approval and grant processes due to the time-intensive nature of manual prospect research and due diligence. As the sole researcher, the Prospect Research Manager could spend an entire day on a single investigation, causing bottlenecks for fundraisers. They turned to the vendor Xapien to automate and streamline this research process.

By implementing Xapien, Sightsavers could quickly generate comprehensive reports to assess risks and identify key contacts. The solution saved the charity three to four weeks of desk-based research time in just the first half of the year, dramatically accelerating decision-making. Xapien became the authoritative source for due diligence, enabling the team to handle multiple requests with efficiency and speed while fostering better donor relationships.
